An omen...

Many of the elders were out, either at the city watching its construction or the settlement watching farmers work the fields. Arngir himself was helping to gather some of the food. Then out of nowhere, with no prior signs, a storm covered the continent as far as they could see and rain poured from the clouds. The suddenness of the storm and the ominous feeling in the air sent any dwarves that weren't indoors already running into the nearest shelter.

The rain and storm lasted for two hours, a deluge that threatened to flood but thankfully only caused the river to rise some and rush more. For those that had keen eyes, they could see the flashes of thunder in the clouds and notice as they all seemed to gather in a certain direction. Then, in the distance on the horizon, the bright flash of a great lightning bolt drove down upon the horizon. Then, just as quickly and suddenly the storm had come, it dispersed.

There were many mutterings among the dwarves, and what few Ursar may have been visiting the settlement. And it did not take long at all for the elders to gather and discuss, much shorter time for them all to agree on such unnatural weather possibly being an omen of danger. Echadon, having been the best diplomat to send to the Ursar so far, and been a friend of them, would be sent to see the Ursar chief again to consult on the storm, if they knew anything about it, and what it could mean for their peoples.

In the meantime, the city's smithy would now be set to military work, and would be tasked with developing a weapon that had been used against them in the rebellion in the old world, the crossbow. All the Ironbeards of the clan, of which was only a handful, would be the ones whom were to be focused on the creation of it.
