Previously:
The new path.Entry Cavern, Realm Below the Mountain
Jyslyn stared in awe at the sheer size of the Entry Cavern. Her home, the Morien Citadel, towered over most of the other residences within the Sundererd Chasm, but even the Citdel was overshadowed by the immenseness of the Realm Below the Mountain, more so because the dwarves had hollowed out the mountain itself, not just settling inside where space allowed. The dark elf, covered head to toe, felt a nudge. Wren urged her to keep up. Jyslyn brought herself back to the moment and fell back in pace behind Kazimier and Nyssa.
A dwarf in armour made from a black metal greeted the group. He set down his massive warhammer. "You're Kellus and Starpetal?"
Kazimier stepped forward. "I am Kazimier Starpetal." He waved an arm at the knight. "This is Dame Nyssa of Kellus."
"And who are the rest?"
"Our companions."
"The scroll said nothing about companions."
"The response didn't say anything about just the two of us attending," Nyssa said.
The dwarf spat on the stone road. "Follow me." He picked up his warhammer and began walking, not noticing or caring if he was followed.
Instead of going up to Embassy Row, the dwarf led the group on the road down, into the Realm Below the Mountain. The light globes grew further apart, still lighting the road but not as brightly as ine the levels above. After a fifteen minute walk, the dwarf stopped in front of a structure carved into the mountain. "The Temple of Stone," he announced. He looked at Jyslyn. "Not polite to hide your face in the temple."
Jyslyn glanced at Kazimier, who only nodded. She removed her hood. "I didn't know if I would be allowed in."
The dwarf scowled.
