Thorin's Hall

We have just come back from a wonderful trip to Thorin's Hall, a dwarf stronghold deep in a mountainside in Ered Luin. The dwarfs themselves are fascinating people, they have an incredibly rich heritage and history. It was Svikt's idea to go. I was working on some mending in the common room when he came up to me and started talking. He said he had enjoyed our trip to the Shire and our picnic so much that he wanted to take me somewhere further away.

After a lengthy period of waiting, father finally came to the inn in the lower depths of Thorin's Hall. I had sat and observed the growing numbers of Dwarves coming and going, unable to keep a suspicious eye from me. The ale was good...I have to say, and it seemed some dance and revelry was in progress for the summer months.
