Dwarven sentinel Vork differs from his fellows by a strange craving for the outside world. In the current refuge of the foothill people, this oddity first made him a sentinel, where in a small detachment he goes to the border of human settlements to monitor the situation, and then even sends him on a journey. What awaits him in it? Centuries have passed since the Gods made a mistake and the Crow's Eye appeared in the skies. Many troubles happened, including discord among the elves, followed by division into people. The further exodus of the elven people and the formation of the first large cities among people. The enmity between them and the indirect participation of the gnomes, and then the appearance of Horror, followed by the Slash and, in the end, the formation of the Second Kingdom of the Dwarves in the Red Hills. All this happened before Work was born, but his generation will have to solve the problems. Book cover: EdiktArt.
