<p>Many a dwarf or wizard knows that one shouldn't dig too deep for fear of hideous and disturbing creatures from the darkness below, but alas someone forgot to mention that to the dwarfs of Maple mountain, which incidentally had not a single maple tree nearby. In said mountain, lives the mighty dwarfs and their eternal, glories, illustrious, grand, majestic, and quite frank, grumpy lord. In the past, he and his house once caused an everlasting shift in the world by sheer will and ale, but it turns out that overwhelming power loses its luster after a few lifetimes. Content with their way of life and everlasting war with the monsters from the abyss, they left the world to its own devices. But after eons of doing 'nothing', the dwarfs and their lord are once again on the move. Only this time, it's not about glory or who owns what land. No, this time they are all about finding some good food and maybe new pair of socks.</p> <p>On exactly the other side of the world stands the mighty The College of Seven Limbs, which has fallen on some pretty hard times. Six of its founding members lay dead for a variety of reasons, one of which could be traced back to a rather poor attempt of gardening. With only one head-master remaining, the college is standing on a wobbly leg, that would rather do paper work then do the standing around part. At the same time, an increasingly radical group is gathering wind in its plan to kill the last head-master and gather his precious bones.</p> <p>--------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Author Forewords:</p> <p>The main point of the story is about dwarfs and their adventure in a strange and foul world, foul in the sense that people eat cheese and drink milk. At the same time the world will be flesh-out with the pov of the last head-master, who current is allowing his school to fall in ruin. And like the dwarven lord, he simply hasn't died yet after a few eons of doing nothing but paperwork, much to the displeasure of everyone else.</p> <p>This story contains no harems, edgelords, reincarnation or even tea. What it does contain is a bunch of both serious and funny characters, that interact with each other in a strange world that is on the low side of fantasy (world wise, not in the magic department). For the people in the setting its a somewhat-serious war drama and/or battle for survival, but for the reader it will mostly be a comedy about the odd things along the way. The story will try to deconstruct some fantasy tropes (low and high) and yes, its inspired by Terry P's Discworld, so don't come here expecting a serious fantasy story with drama or something grimdark.</p> <p>I'm trying to improve my writing, if you see some improper grammer, misspelling, awful dialogue or something thats just poorly explained= TELL ME and i will try to fix it! It's not a wish-fulfillment story in the sense that i very much like my current place of residence and existence, no sense i going places when i'm happy where i am.</p> <p>I fully expect every proper reviewer to bash me harder then Thor when it commes to the grammer portion, even the style is not excused! But please, before you complain about the characters or the story, remember that i don't have that many chapters out yet! While i would like to have more reviews, please don't make one that only contains 'the story and chapters are awful' or the like. Yet, if you must insist in doing so, try giving a number of examples so i can work with it and maybe fix it.</p>
