Well, I guess it is time to solidify old myths and bedtime stories of our
youth into potential historical accounts. There appears to be more than a
little bit of truth to the old legends of the Deep Lode Forge and the armor
that was made.

For those that don't know... Legend has it that in the Time Of The Treaty,
when the dwarves were the only modern peoples with the sophistication and good
sense to make steel, all other nations came to us in peace to buy our perfect
metals. But, as with any great nation, our neighbors grew jealous. Most simple
cultures are prone to covet the success their superiors...

Anyway... The way my grandparents told it, the trolls initiated the attack. I
hear that the trolls say that humans started it. It doesn't matter, now. All
that matters is the fact that the good, hard working dwarves were slaughtered
for no more reason than they were trying to provide exceptional steel for all
and that the greedy "all" still had to take advantage of us. But I digress. The
story ends with the great steel foundry being run by the humans and trolls with
enslaved gnomes doing the actual labour. (Obviously... Like a human or a troll
could smelt steel without catching their greasiness on fire).

So, of course, like in all legends... The great Deep Lode Forge was built with
the help of sympathetic gods. Right in the center of the most magnetic deposits
of iron below... Some mountain range... I don't remember what my grandmother
said, I knew it was only a myth back then... And the valiant dwarves hammered
out hundreds of thousands of sets of armor so magnetically charged that it was
able to discharge lightning. The armies of dwarves then had no trouble taking
back their steel foundry and, of course, are still the cleverest people.

Not much is said about what happened to the Deep Lode forge. I guess once the
foundry was back in production, the forge was forgotten and eventually assumed
to be the sort of story that grandmothers tell.

Anyway. I am convinced that it is true. The circulating rumours have the forge
being discovered by gnomes that looted it and tried to sell their plunder to
dwarves. Apparently they some how lost the sets of armour when a dwarven gang
tried to rob them.

Now, the gnomes that did have it haven't been seen in weeks, and the dwarven
gang that I suspect, Kurt's hooligans in Edel, won't deny being involved in the
roughing up of a bunch of gnomes but Kurt doesn't seem to have it on him.

All I can get out of older dwarves (That don't insist the whole story is a
myth) is that the Deep Lode armor used the magnetism of the whole world to
generate the lightning and strike down enemies. They say that this magnetism
of the armor makes it nearly impossible to wear without the right system of
hooks and clips to hold it together. One old soldier from Juargan's who claims
to have had ancestry that worked in the Deep Forge insists that it is nearly
crippling to wear an odd number of Deep Lode pieces because it was engineered
to be worn properly balanced.
