Zuglarkun IV Kubukonul brings tidings from the east
"It was a good decision to have laid low this past year, it seems that the enemy knows of the purpose of those whom bear my title. I hope that the danger has past, but I cannot be certain. Therefore, I have come now to speak with you three that remain of the founding seven. I'm sure that you've discovered that the last two to bear my title were of course, impostors seeking some measure of fame and recognition. I assure you, I need no such proofs, nor do I seek any measure of fame or status. My fellows and I are ever at your service, so treat us as you would any other dwarf. Unfortunately for my predecessors, they took my place and succumbed to the nefarious designs the enemy had laid for me. It is unfortunate, but due to their meddling, whatever plans the first Zuglarkun brought with her are now irretrievably marred. That matters little now, for we must look ahead. But first you shall hear of the tidings I bring.
I hail from the far east, from lands that were once well known to the inhabitants of these parts, but are now only remembered by a handful. My people were once a part of the great migration that dared venture into The Universe of Destiny, as were your forebears. But we tarried on the path and eventually stayed behind while your forebears forged on and settled the land, founding great kingdoms here.
My people founded settlements in the unknown east, and have sought to maintain a distance by refusing the summons from the court here. Our great prophet Abras Nirurgelut said that a crafty rabbit has three dens, and that the time had not yet come, and so we waited. But we have not forgotten and we've sent messengers every few years to maintain close relations with the founding line here that has since become the royal lineage.
My forefathers once swore an oath that in times of need, we would come forth from the forgotten lands to aid our brethren. The elders spoke of an ancient enemy, the omniscient "Magdark". Our ancient records note that he was once thwarted, but that he shall rise again, though it did not specify in what shape or form. Our elders say that it falls upon us to thwart him a second time, and they deemed that the time of need has now come. For my people received an urgent plea from your queen saying that an ancient threat has been revived, and that they were harried from all sides by our ancient foes the goblins. We few have come as representatives of our lands, and now we seek to fulfill that oath, to give what aid we can in these desperate times."
