"For all my years I have sought the truth of the Buried Keep, that fabled dwarven citadel said to house every scrap of knowledge the world possessed before the Eruption. The keep’s true name is long forgotten, erased by fire and time, yet whispers endure. Legends tell how the dwarves, stalwart and unyielding, resisted foul forces from beneath the earth for generations, until at last their enemies tunneled deep and shattered the foundations in a single cataclysmic blast. The collapse sealed the invaders away—but entombed the dwarves and their lore with them. Now, the keep lies lost in myth, its halls swallowed by stone, waiting for one who might uncover its hidden vaults and restore the wisdom of ages past."
