I really admire your skill to come up with a story and make it sound like a tale that has been passed on through the ages. Stoneguard sounds like it could be a real place, and the story of how it came to be sounds like a myth that people in that region tell about it. I enjoyed this story of unlikely friendship, and while you are great at writing about war and conflict, you are just as good when it comes to writing about peaceful times. This is one of the stories that would be great to listen to during deepest, dark winter, while sitting by the fireplace. And then you'll wonder: Are the dwarves meeting the people at Stoneguard this very moment?

Many thanks as ever, this one was inspired by various York wanderings last week, mostly in places where the sun would not enter... which makes it sound far more dramatic than it was. Your point about Stoneguard's potential for myth is one I must admit I hadn't really considered, that hints at a potential continuation, people finding the old citadel a thousand years after it was lost to time... I'll think on this.
