Into the Depths of Death

The Dwarves had left Menelgond behind. Their fate awaiting them in the Depths of Death. Anducar led them further and further into the dusty wastelands; his four Demon Lords by his side. Creatures of horror inhabited the Depths of Death, yet none dared approach Anducar or the convoy of Dwarves trailing in his wake.

Frightened but resolute, the Dwarves knew there would be no way back. The further they marched, the less hope they held, and ever more powerful Anducar and his Demon Lords seemed. Anducar addressed the race of the Dwarves, presenting them with a simple task; once that task was complete, they would be granted permission to return to Menelgond. Whilst there were some who doubted his motives, in others the words rekindled lost hope. And so it was that the Dwarves believed the deceitful words of Anducar.

They arrived at the Abyss of Souls. Here was the place that Anducar had chosen for his fortress. There were no plants on the plains before the chasm, nor was there any water available. Anducar quenched hunger and thirst by magical means in order that the Dwarves remained obedient and dependant, if not desperate. Then Anducar stood back and let the slaves of this ancient race begin their arduous task.
