On your journey you will come across a variety of objects, tools and resources of your choice. However, space in your inventory is scarce, thus you must wisely do your
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Tools, wood, metals, torches, weapons, minerals, notes, letters, books, and more. Countless treasures are awaiting you in the depths of the mountains. There's not enough space in your inventory to keep all of them, so which ones will you choose? If an enemy shows up, which items will you drop to ensure a safe flight? All questions that you must consider and necessitate a thorough inventory check - all while your backpack grows heavier and heavier.

Hyr Frinbard! A lonesome warrior came wandering our kingdom. His garments filthy and he half dead of thirst. He said the Nimbor mountains he had to climb - foolish he is with the equipment that he has! Nay real dwarf would ever try such a daring undertaking with a cankered axe like his and boots worn out, allowing the cold to move in. Sending him off I would have, but gracious as the heart of our king is, he advised us to accommodate him and prepare equipment for his departure. Argoran already made his deliciously famous Frìnsentìn Pie, and Belastrian delivered boots of finest fur and cheveril glove from Eshgard, but how should he be supposed to climb with just a lousy axe?! Assigned by the king was Haldòr to forge him the Snowbeards' famous axe, that with its light 6kg 500g is perfectly made for that purpose, but, how should it be: the drunkard has already passed out in the Tavern... sigh... Why is Bordjal even getting served in the morning?! Either way, a master blacksmith is wanted to forge the Snowbeards' axe for our visitor! Unfortunately, the exact recipe is not known, and asking Haldòr - well, allow to say that this is not an option. One says that its head is 15 and a quarter times heavier than its wooden handle, but what does someone like me know! It is up to a master blacksmith that the honor of the king might not get tarnished! Here is to see a visual representation of said axe:
May their craft speak for those who are willing to forge this weapon! And rest assured, their work shall be rewarded! Oh, and forget not the special alloy needed for this weapon, two in number I've heard! If it be true only I'd recall the name... Either way: don't use the expensive iron or wood!
Feature Reveal Part 13 - Combine
Greetings adventurers, to another Feature Reveal!
The ingenious mind of a dwarf knows not only how to craft and mine, but also how to
COMBINE
A dwarf loves nothing more than swinging the hammer to craft a practical tool, or deadly weapon. However, a forge is not always near, and when navigating the cool darkness of the mountain, tools and weapons are of essence. The dwarve's natural gift of craftsmanship and an ingenious mind shall allow you to precede where others have failed and will let you realize how meaningful combining what seemed useless fragments or single resources can be for your journey.

Feature Reveal Part 12 - Inspect
Greetings adventurers, to another Feature Reveal!
As you progress through the mountain system you will gather many items, some more, some less familiar. Also, you will find information in books, on old parchments, and otherwise. This will allow you to understand what was previously uncommon, wherefore you are well-advised to
INSPECT
your inventory every once in a while.
That was close! While gathering your spoils from the latest enemy encounter you hear hundreds of legs sprinting towards you. You snatch up the last coin, retrace your steps to distance yourself from the approaching noise, take a side path, and just master to quietly shut the door. As a horde - the footsteps unknown to your ears - rushes past. Now, in the dim light of your torch, you take the time to inspect your loot. Amongst it, you find a mysterious object, a long handle made from wood covered with scratches all over. However, the top and the base are neatly decorated with metal and now that you look at it closer it resembles a lever of some sort. Maybe there is a part missing to make it a whole? You decide to leave it in your inventory, for now, sure that once you've found the right information, it will be of more value than you attribute it at the moment.

Feature Reveal Part 11 - Explore
Greetings adventurers, to another Feature Reveal!
Whether it be wondrous phenomena of nature or a mechanical switch which you are considering to trigger, be sure to...
EXPLORE
As a matter of survival, and when not running from some monstrous beast, it is wise to explore first and act second. It is a skill of utmost importance when you find yourself alone in a desolate and mysterious place. Take the time and you shall find essential objects for your quest, or perhaps you will reveal which door better to leave sealed. It is advisable to explore as much as you can to help yourself find a way forward. Also, examining how other venturers before you have been killed might just save you from their fate.

Feature Reveal Part 10 - Play Instrument
Greetings adventurers, to another Feature Reveal!
When singing you will have to admit that a dwarf's voice might be powerful and resounding, however, not the most harmonic. Therefore, the dwarves have long been taught to
PLAY INSTRUMENTS
And a strong voice shall be accompanied by something rhythmic, whether it be the sole drumming of a dwarf‘s fingers on the ax or the play of an instrument. As you endorse in song and play you start remembering more songs. When alone what better way to find some comfort by playing on your newly found instrument, especially if it helps your memory, and who knows what else a dwarf is capable of doing with an instrument.

Feature Reveal Part 9 - Sing
Greetings adventurers, to another Feature Reveal!
Almost as much as drinking and mining a dwarf loves to:
SING
When the spoken word is not enough to express relief, happiness or pride - or when just drunk - a dwarf will turn to song. Whether songs of war or tales of glory, some have been sung for so long even the stone walls remember the lyrics. However, the powerful resounding voice of a dwarf may carry far into the mountain, so beware, and check the alleys and the darker corners, not to make creatures of the dark aware of your presence.
