B2MeM '12 - O72 - The Lands of their Fathers

But no longer. Under the mountains, deep in the dark bowels of the earth, something began to move. Keen eyes opened, sturdy limbs stretched after a long sleep; and like bearded ants walking on two feet, the Dwarves began to delve their halls and tunnels and build their kingdoms into the rock.
Soon the mountains were ringing with the song of their hammers.
