In order to welcome in the new year, the two dwarf groups in Hammerhelm have decide to marry the scions of two major houses of nobility. More than a year ago, the dwarves of Radruundar were driven back from their fortress and mines by a horde of goblins that showed an unusual understanding of tactics. Around 700 fled, and 650 made it months later to Hammerhelm, where they were welcomed.
But as always happens, rivals began to commence, and space in Hammerhelm was very tight. The dwarves began carving a new rooms and homes from inside the mountain, but there was also a lot of pressure and rivalry around mining operations, food and water supplies and more.
There were even a few fistfights that broke out, so the ruling family of Hammerhelm chose to marry its princess to the prince of the former ruling family of Radruundar.
Alzar has been invited to the wedding, as the nearby ruler of the County, and a friend to Hammerhelm.
The first day of the dwarvish new year is actually the 17th day of the month, so Alzar arrives on the 14th, a few days early, to the typical dwarven greeting, a quick official ceremony that lasts 10 minutes, and then a feast and drinking. Lots of drinking.
Alzar is provided a nice chamber, and they hope that his attendance will bring joy and luck to the couple and the two groups.
