Background
The Mithril Guard were once the escorts of Dwarven trade caravans between the Seven Realms of the Dwarves; their presence was a symbol of safety and prosperity for the Khazad. After the fall of Khazad-dûm, they became the wardens of the roads linking the dwarf-holds in Middle-Earth and staunch defenders of Dwarven trade interests throughout the area. However, as the Dwarven golden age sadly dwindled, so did the Mithril Guard.
Lately, with the reclaiming of the Lonely Mountain and the reopening of the Gates of Moria, hope has been rekindled once again in the hearts of Dwarves who would see the return of Dwarven glory; some would even see the reinstatement of the Mithril Guard to their former duties safeguarding the thoroughfares between the Dwarf-holds and their outposts.
Due to this new need for their services, the venerable tabard of the Mithril Guard is becoming once more a familiar sight on the roads of Eriador as their tireless bearers escort travellers and their caravans to safety.
So then, join us brother Dwarves, and lend your axe to the protection and prosperity of the Dwarves of Middle-Earth!
