Post 2 (Area 1): The Trow
Deep in the mountain Anuin, the smithies of the Trow house
mighty fires. Those crimson flames imbue the stony heart of the mountain with
heat, fill it with a pulsing red glow like living rubies.
From these
fires, from this mountain, come the most priceless treasures of the world. You
think our smiths have skill, and they do. But it is nothing beside the
magnificence of the Trow.
If you ever
come upon Anuin on a sunset – the moors cold at your back, the sun blazing in
your eyes – you may see the Trow toiling down the mountain in a silent
procession, enormous loads on their backs. They are small, the Trow, hardly
more than half a Man’s height. But they are strong.
You can
greet the Trow when they come near you, but they will not answer, not unless
you seem to have some use to you. And you probably will not. Mortals rarely
have use to Trow.
Look well
at the little, peerless smiths, if Fate gives you that gift. They are unlovely
– coarse hair, leathery skin, all their features too large or too small for
their faces. Yet look at any of their work, and you will know: Somewhere, in
the core of their being, beauty sings.
