Clan Frostbeard:

"There was something unsettling about the corpse near Emyn Uial allright... but i'm affraid to tell ye that Commander Baldur's concerns were right, my lord...", the old dwarf-hunter said and continued after taking a deep breath: "As we expected there are trolls in Angmar, they are under a Warchief name Toroglok, Torogok... one of those troll names... anyway he attacked the humans and orcs of Gundabad, and they don't take prisoners, my lord... We saw the remains... they were literally torn apart, rent limb from limb. Yet they are not mere animals like bears my lord... oh no, they are not... they are coordinate, their leader was capable of planning an full-size attack on a fortress."

"Go on", Dralvik said.

While stroking his beard, the old dwarf-hunter said: "We've found out that they are planning an attack againts the Wooden Enclave, since Torogok recive a death threat from Queen Barazturg for the crime against our kin in Redhorn Gate, the trolls marked Mirkwood as one of their potencial objectives on their maps sir."

"What about their weapons? ", Frulvik asked.

the old hunter said while laughing: "Ha! their weapons were big allright... but We do know, that they don't mine their lands, the Warchief didn't even knew about the Black Iron mines in Angmar. But we couldn't get anything else, since the orcs of Gundabad were attacking back the fortress, a huge army sir... Huge! the land was shaking under our feet. An armored patrol escorted us to the border..."

"Thank you for your services, mister...?", Dralvik II said.

"Dolim, Dolim Thundertongue", replied the old dwarf while smiling.

The monarch dismissed the hunters with the payment agreed and approached his Steward, Frulvik.

"What do you thing Frulvik?, talk to me", Dralvik said while resting his arm on Frulik's shoulder.

"Well sir, it seems that your fears were true, we have an army of trolls at the entrance of our lands ... the gods alone know what these beasts are capable of, strangely the hunters brought this ", The Steward, he took out of his clothes the non-aggression agreement brought by the hunters and gave it to the king.

Dralvik read it.

Frulvik continued: "It seems that they are willing to negotiate with us, that is good, but on the other hand, my lord, you have to do your duty towards the other dwarf kingdoms..."

Dralvik looked at his Steward.

Frulvik said while looking at the window:"My lord, we have the machinery and the armies, we now have the support of the Blue Mountains. We don't know if these trolls will honor their treaty, as they surely betrayed the Angmar orcs, trolls and orcs are always together... furthermore Gundabad is under attack by our allied dwarven-kingdoms and these filthy trolls are meddling in a thriving border union between the dwarf kind. It may even be that the trolls' forces are wounded or that the remaining orcs are severely injured. ", the he paused and looked at Dralvik right in the eyes: "March my lord!, march for your people, march... Dralvik you are ready... Your soldiers support you, your subjects support you, they know that you do the best for your people! Sound the horns of war!"

Dralvik's eyes shone brightly, blinded by Frulvik's words. The king shook his head, went to his throne, and from a chest he took out a beautiful reddish masked-helmet with a dragon-shaped crest decorated in gold and silver. Dralvik admired the helmet for a moment and putting it on his head he said:
"Alert the dwarf-kingdoms, tell them about the trolls' plans, tell them that they are at war with the Gundabad orcs and that they are seeking the queen's head... But more importantly, let them know that The Clan Frostbeard is on the march!"

With an evil smile Frulvik replied: "right away my Lord", an he threw the parchment it at the nearest bonfire.
