-The Dwarves of the Mror Holds are a hardy folk, stout and strong. But they do not know their history. Long ago, when the Dhakanni goblins still ruled Khorvaire, the clans that now comprise all the Mror clans were banished from Sol Udar, the Realm Below, for unknown reasons. Left to fend for themselves, they built a great civilization that held their lands against the Goblinoids, but could not withstand the might of Karrn the Conquerer when he came to dominate all of Khorvaire. Once the kingdom of Galifar was established, there was no longer a need for a strong military, so the Dwarves utilized their industriousness and rich natural resources and became wealthy from trade. There were struggles with the Jorash'tar orcs, the Lhazaar princes, and even other Dwarf clans, but by and large, it was an Era of peace and prosperity.
+Sol Udar, the Realm Below, is a vast underground kingdom, the dwarves' ancestral home. The dwarven civilization there was wiped out thousands of years ago, but its riches still remain largely intact. The dwarf clans of the Mror Holds sent explorers, prospectors, and colonists below to seek and extract the magic and wealth that was left behind.
+Not all was gilded streets and magical wellsprings, however. The reason that Sol Udar fell is still very much active; the Daelkyr lord Dyrrn the Corruptor commands vast forces of twisted monstrosities from his demiplane prison, and his influence spreads even further. Dyrrn's servitors slaughtered and corrupted many outposts and colonies, but mysteriously stopped before reaching the fortified dwarf holds.
+While the War Below remains in something resembling a stalemate, a strange curse known as the Frenzy has taken hold within several dwarf cities, sending the infected into a murderous rage, spreading the affliction rapidly.
+To respond to this new threat, the Iron Council has decided to send an expedition into the Realm Below to find and eliminate the source of the Frenzy, and to acquire as many items, weapons, and allies in Khyber as they can to complete their mission.
+**You are one of those representatives, chosen by one of the clans to accomplish the mission. You were chosen because of your combat prowess (whether through martial or magical means) and your skill and utility in traversing and exploring the unknown depths of Khyber.**
