Description

When the humans of Ergoth threaten Thorbardin, the kingdom’s dwarven clans are drawn into the territory wars between humans and elves   The humans of Ergoth continue to encroach upon Thorbardin, but the worst threat to the dwarven fortress comes from a mysterious fog-beast and a covetous wizard.   A Cobar, a kender, and a giant raptor add to the confusion as the dwarves are faced with wizards who command not only the forces of magic but thousands of mercenaries as well. And, unknown to show more the dwarves who valiantly fight the invaders, the beast has already claimed Thorbardin as its own.   With Hammer and Axe , the author of The Covenant of the Forge continues the sweeping historical saga of the fractious dwarven races who inhabit the world of Krynn in the popular Dragonlance books. show less

Tras noventa años de continuo trabajo, Thorbardin, la impresionante fortaleza subterránea de los enanos, está casi terminada, a falta de instalar el gigantesco obturador de la Puerta Norte. Bajo la montaña, un reino de thanes, con sus ciudades, sus campos de cultivos, sus calzadas, sus industrias, y todo lo necesario para vivir y prosperar, funciona como sus dirigentes lo planearon al fundarlo con el Pacto de la Forja. Otros clanes han decidido vivir en el exterior, pero la unión permanece entre unos y otros.
Sin embargo, los humanos de Ergoth siguen intentando invadir Thorbardin, aunque la peor amenaza para la fortaleza enana radica en una misteriosa bestia envuelta en niebla y en un codicioso hechicero.
Der Bau von Thorbardin ist abgeschlossen als es die ersten Probleme mit Magiern und einer Armee Söldner giebt. Kuzweilige Unterhaltung trotz Kender.

First words
They went furtively in this land of peaks and valleys, of yawning chasms and soaring heights.

The scene was like the others that the Neidar had reported.

Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)It was noted, though, that one particular lot of worm-web consigned to the weavers of spunstone had a tendency to change color at odd intervals.
