7
In the Kingdom of Mountains and Hills, darkness reigns.
Plants die, crops wither, the very stone grows cold.
The Dark Brother returns to claim the throne so bold.
Secrets of Kings may aid their Battle, yet the price is much,
For brother may fight brother while sisters quarrel such.
When all seems lost, the Bell will sound,
Then are the forgotten brethren found.
From beyond the waves, up from the dust, come their trains.

Please discuss below.

All I can guess at thus far is that is has something to do with the dwarves. They are in darkness now due to whatever crazy spell has put them in a world of continuious night due to the dark elves.

From there is anyone's guess. Perhaps a new King will take the throne and cause a great upheaval amonst the dwarves and there could be a dwarven civil war.

I think this may mean that the Wild Dwarves might be returning to the Dwarven homeland to push back the Dark Elves.

The last two lines:
"Then are the forgotten brethren found.
From beyond the waves, up from the dust, come their trains."

seems to refer more to the sea and fire elves people brought up elsewhere. Or are there kinds of dwarves in the watery sea and the Sea of Dust too?

And how is there darkness over there? Can it be removed? Seems that if you take away the darkness, the dark elves couldn't even fight over there.

This Bell that the passage speaks of... do you think this is a real bell? If it is, all we need to do is find it, take it to the Dwarven Homeland, and ring it, right?

Of course, it may not be a real bell...

Humm...bell, bell, bell.

I seem to recall something about Blackthorn and a bell to awaken something called a dragon I think. Shardalana Seabreeze, not to bring this name up, and was it not Peprin who were working on such a quest?

As for the breathern forgotton, if memmory serves me correctly are there not something called sea dwarves?

*Kimberlyn looks over to Twilight*

My appologies for upsetting you for a brief moment Winter. I was just thinking and the pieces fit.

Dragon's don't exist.

*Twilight nods to Nyrhtak*

Exactly my point, Nyrhtak. I thank you for reiterating for those who may easily be swayed into believing such fantasy.

It was a term I believed they used. Blackthorne wanted to free something and that bell was the means by which he intended to do so.

This was at least three years ago and my mind is a bit fuzzy on this, but when Fate was talking about a bell it triggered something.

Is it not believed by some of the dwarves that the Cave of the Ancients is actually the belly of a sleeping Dragon? Not that I believe such things, but I thought it might be worth mentioning...

One would find, especially in a town such as Midway, talk of many a tale. Though once true, tales tend to get twisted as they pass from one to another.

Dragons are creatures of myth created by Gnomes and Guthries.

They are what we 'big folk' like to call Drakes.

No offense intended Tee or Ferran.
