It was with great pride that Duinn son of Muninn began to scribble an offical note for official business, for the ravens had finally arrived. Seven in number and bearing the sigils of the Seven Houses, and all had come to Thorin's Halls to the Great Halls.
They have come with messages from Halls far and wide answering a simple question, which Duinn had inquired about. The last letter had just been read and Duinn smiled proudly. How many winters is the oldest dwarf of your Hall? Was the question and they had answered.
It is confirmed that Gamil Bilisturg (Old Berylbeard) as they call Duinn's father Muninn at the Mountain, at the grand old age of 308 is the eldest dwarf known to the Seven Houses.
By the blessings of the Seven Houses it has been agreed that Gamil Bilisturg will hold the title: Ugmal Khuzd (Eldest Dwarf) hereafter.
