Gunr's Story

Gunr, my old friend,

How have the years been treating you? It feels like only yesterday that we were delving into every tunnel and cavern we could find. I was speaking with Aevi recently and they reminded me of our past exploits.

I've been following the news from the scouts as best I can, my own journeys have been keeping me occupied of late. I do, however, often hear tales of the world-famous Gunr, the greatest scout dwarvenkind has ever known. You must be so proud of all your achievements and have many a grand tale to tell.

Remember the time we were out near Eaglecroft? We'd been scouting for new veins of iron and stumbled across that network of passages. It took us a week, but we eventually mapped them.

The passages were part natural formation and part ancient earthwork. It was like nothing we'd seen before, I've still not seen anything like it. Do you remember the waterfall-like vein of gleaming copper? Such a great find.

I've heard rumours from the people of Swanvale that there is a labyrinth beneath the local forest. From their descriptions it could be the same origin as the ones we found - how exciting. I'm planning a trip and it would be great to have you with me - just like old times.

Hilde.

Gunr was convinced to at least meet Hilde for a drink to reminisce. Drinks became a few rounds of cards but it was clear that Gunr's heart wasn't in a long-term expedition. Glad she'd at least lifted his spirits for an evening, Hilde left with her winnings.
