Dwarven village

A path climbs the mountain north of Midian to a gate in the rock, and behind the gate is the kingdom of the dwarves. They have grown rich on the gold and the silver of their mines, and long dealing has taught them to put up with humans, whom they call the big people and now make welcome.

It is a village of miners and guards, with a hospital, a barracks and Granite Head's bakery, and above it stands the castle, which is called Strangelove, where the queen keeps her court. Not all is well in the kingdom. It is said that there are sons and daughters there whom nobody wants; and the dwarves keep a maze, and a keeper for it, and do not say what the maze is for.
