The Seventh Betrayal
A Millenial Truce was finally crafted between the Fairies and the Stoneborn, but a new treachery arose when the Gnummor and the Old Ones sought to empty the Duns, and enslave the people. They sought the Bright Ore and knew that it had been found by the greatest of the Stoneborn Delvesmen. This new treachery could not be defeated by our ancestors alone so under the Truce of Breslon they sought the aid of the Fairies, but should have known better.
The Fairies did indeed help, but it was only a pretext for the Fairy Witch Llothean to gain access to the Bright Ore. Her treachery was eventually the cause of a great conflict between the Fairies which the Stoneborn were happy to ignore. At the end of the Fairy War, some of their Warlocks came to our ancestors to ask a boon. They had banished the Fairy Witch and her evil minions to a distant land, but since their own Majk made them vulnerable to her machinations, they desired others to supervise her imprisonment. So it was that the Duergar were tasked with observing the Fairy Witch and her kind.
The Benediction
The last age of Erenth looms, and the Stoneborn await the restoration of all things. Justice will prevail for the Children of Moradin and the rightful heirs of Erenth. For we are the Stoneborn!
