The races of men and dwarves have had a tumultuous history. They have been trading partners, occasional allies, and sometimes bitter enemies.

During the Godfall, with the surface world erupting in death and chaos, an isolationist faction within the Earthern Nations began to gain support. Eventually, it was decided to abandon the surface entirely. The dwarves would begin their most ambitious project ever– the Grand Delving.

A small rearguard force would remain behind, to safeguard their most important sites and relics during the transition. Soon, the great migration will be complete. The history of dwarf and man is entering its final chapter.
