"Let no one say we did not fight until the last . . . ."

—Headstone fragment from a mass grave found in the Crimson Peaks

There is a legend among present-day Dwarves that the Dwarves of Sarpadia will one day return to defend Dwarvenkind against a deadly peril.

"Although the Dwarves staunchly defended their walled city-states against the Orcs, their civilization was the first to fall, and its name was sadly lost."

—*Sarpadian Empires, vol. I*

"Orc must die / Orc must die / Not an orc? / March on by."

—Dwarven marching song

"Let no one say we did not fight until the last . . . ."
