Overview
The valley that the Welt Road follows into Titan’s Skull (33.00) is called Titan’s Rest. According to legend, the brother-sister of the Drinker of Iron – the Speaker to Bronze, who taught artifice to the dwarves – fell here and his-her bones turned to silver as they sunk into the earth. His-her head, hacked off by the Drinker of Iron, rolled to rest upon the mountain where the dwarves now make their settlement.
Bands of dwarves patrol the Titan’s Rest in numbers greater than necessary to ward off wolves or bandits. Some merchants report the strange sounds echoing from the earth beneath the Welt Road, sounds like battle or sport.
So much of the old lore has been forgotten that the Burghers of Titan’s Skull (33.00) are now ordering vast quantities of arms and armor from émigré dwarves and even human blacksmiths.
