Lore

An underground dwarf who obeys every order of the holder of the blue flame.

A soldier had served his king faithfully for many years. When the war ended, his many wounds made it impossible for him to stay in the army. The king told him, “You may go home now; I have no further use for you. And you’ll receive no more pay—wages are for those who are still in my service.”

The soldier had no idea how he would live. Dejected, he set off without any destination in mind and wandered all day until nightfall found him deep in a forest. When darkness closed in, he spotted a light and came to a little house where a witch lived.
