Prologue: A Baffling Theft

Rare is the day when the doughty Dwarves of the Northern High Pass must seek help from Imladris. But Master Harnack has braved the journey and finds himself pleading his case to friends in the halls of Lósengriol. The theft -- indeed, the violation -- of an artifact priceless only to a single Dwarven family, but nothing else of value, not even the poor fellow's armor, is enraging and confusing. Manadhlaer decides at once to send scouts and warriors into the Hithaeglir, despite her profound personal misgivings about the area of Hrimbarg, and not without worries over the coming winter. All present agree to be part of the search for the artifact and for justice for Master Harnack's fallen friend.
