Welcome, traveler, to the House of the Silver Deeps!
|
Hail, kindred! Here shall be known the enemies of the House of Durin, vile creatures of Morgoth. Be wary, kindred, for their evil is indeed a worthy foe.
"Hail, kindred! In the name of King Durin and the free peoples of Middle-earth, in the name of Mahal and the Vala of Eru, in the name of brave warriors now dead and burnt in the Battle of Azanulbizar . . . the House of the Silver Deeps, loyal to the crown in Mirrormere, King Durin and all his subjects, has declared that the War of Dwarves and Orcs is not over! The War of Dwarves and Orcs did not die with Azog in cold Moria, nor with the dwarven kings of yore! The War of Dwarves and Orcs shall not die until all servants of Morgoth are cleansed from the lands of Mahal's children! Follow, kindred, for the glory of Mahal and King Durin, and for the glory of the free peoples of Middle-earth! Let no Orc withstand the fury of Durin's axe!"
And so, kindred, let now be known the wrath of Durin's Axe . . .
Orcs and all servants of Morgoth
