Lorkheim

Dwarven village located near Goldbelly Mountain and Redtooth Peak. Multiple paths lead into the village.

Most of the homes in the village are circular in shape. Entrances to the mines can be found on the outskirts of the village.

• Dobrik
• Eregrun

One thousand years prior, the first Dwarves entered Lorkheim. They had traveled from Ozogith: Plane of Stone. - Ascending Kethra's Steppe (GS-ADV4)

The local Dwarves and Bugbear do not see eye-to-eye. A recent raid by the Bugbear have left the village in ruins, burnt to the ground. Villagers lie wounded in the ashes as the mines shoot flames from their entrances.

The goal of the Bugbear was clear. They did not come for loot. They came for revenge and destruction. Valuables lie strewn amongst the ashes of the homes and businesses.

“The Bugbear and Dwarves were once friendly. But now the Bugbear have declared war on all allies of Queen Gimnax. I fear things will only get worse from here.” - Eregrun - Ascending Kethra's Steppe (GS-ADV4)

Entering the village, Nayo rushes to aid the locals.

Your previous actions may come back to help or haunt you.

• If Dobrik is still alive, you see him rallying villagers to aid the trapped Dwarf miners.
  • Rush to help him and the others.
  • Look around and possibly loot from the ashes.
• Instead, you will encounter Eregrun as he works on Alpha-Zero.
  • Help repair Alpha-Zero.
  • Look around and possibly loot from the ashes.

Following the destruction caused by the Bugbear, the Dwarves attempted to rebuild the village immediately. Queen Gimnax instead insisted on evacuating the survivors. Those that refused to leave were sent to Kulbak Prison. It will not be rebuilt for another three hundred years.

If Dobrik managed to survive the Battle of the Arcazion Pit, the village will be rebuilt in a much quicker fashion, thanks to his connection to the queen.

Other stories credit the rebuilding of Lorkheim to Eregrun. He, along with Constructs that he crafted from spare parts, worked with the Dwarves to hasten the repairs.
