I am here to tell you, my friends and, indeed, my smiling…
““I am here to tell you, my friends and, indeed, my smiling enemies, that if we do not band together against the forces that wish to keep us in darkness, dwarfkind will be diminished. We need to work together, talk to one another, deal properly with one another, and not spend all our time in one enormous grump that the world isn’t entirely ours anymore and, at the finish, ruin it for everyone. After all, who would deal with such as us in a world of new choices? In truth, we should act as sapient creatures should! If we don’t move with the future, the future will twist and roll right over us.””
