  Chapter 26 The Grûndén Court

  Extract from ‘The Hidden Peoples’ by Solin D’Teinde.

  I love thee my children

  My people beneath the mountain

  Each of you I treasure as a jewel

  I hide thee beneath the earth

  There ye shall be sheltered

  But woe who would thwart thee

  For I bequest to thee

  An axe for an arm

  Smouldering coals for thine eyes

  An Oak’s thick bole for a leg

  Thee shall be unmoving

  Thy enemies will lay crushed

  As gravel beneath thy iron sole

  Chorus of ‘For the Love of Øédréll’. Grûndén (Dwarven) traditional mantra.
