> 1st Action: Hold a Moot to Forge Superior Arms with Amber SteelIn Virn-Garuhm, as the first anniversary of the city's founding approaches, King Tori declares a grand moot to celebrate the resilience of the Urotti Dwarves and give thanks to their ancestors. At his behest, thirty of the finest master smiths from all the clans gather in the great forge halls. The air was thick with anticipation as they convene to honor their traditions and push the boundaries of their craft.
The moot is not only a celebration but also a competition—a challenge to experiment with amber steel, the rare and enigmatic material discovered deep within their mines. While amber steel has proven invaluable in the cold climes, retaining its strength and solidity, it becomes soft and malleable in warmer temperatures, limiting its use beyond their snowy realm.
The smiths, driven by pride and innovation, set out to overcome this limitation. Over roaring forges and glowing crucibles, they worked tirelessly, blending amber steel with other metals, adjusting forging techniques, and experimenting with cooling methods. Some attempted to alloy amber steel with iron or silver, seeking a balance that retains its unique properties while enhancing its resilience to heat. Others explored quenching processes using icy brines or infusing the metal with other materials such as Obsidian or wood.
> 2nd Action: Harnessing the Power of the Pale PeppersDeep within the caverns of Virn-Garuhm, the Elder Matrons—a gathering of venerable dwarven chrones revered for their wisdom beyond approach—convened to unlock the secrets of the mysterious pale pink peppers. Discovered in the enigmatic "Vizari" ruins, these peppers that thrive without sunlight or water, a marvel that intrigues the Urotti.
To the dwarves, the peppers add a pleasant spice to their meals, but tales suggest they may be overwhelmingly potent to others. Recognizing the potential to turn this peculiarity into an advantage, the Elder Matrons and skilled herbalists begin their meticulous experiments.
In the quiet depths of their chambers, they carefully distill the peppers into concentrated extracts and fine powders, testing their effects with utmost care. Some focused on creating elixirs that bolster a dwarf's stamina and resistance to the cold, enhancing their endurance in harsh conditions. Others explore defensive applications, developing powders that, when dispersed, could disorient or incapacitate foes unaccustomed to the peppers' intensity.
