Not feeling well? You can thank Grys for that."

Excerpt:
The blizzard buffeted the kingdom of
Aldamanis. The great white castle suffered less than the outlying
castle towns that surrounded her mountainous expanse. It stood high
in the mountains as a shield against a hail of arrows.
High in the highest mountains this
great castle held firm against the blizzards that plagued the land
every winter. The people became similarly hardy to the trials that
visited them. How this kingdom had prospered for so long under such
tenuous circumstances as the foul weather and the incredible heights
could be attributed to the faerie that lived in the region. Most
called them deep folk or stout folk.
Dwarves, though long lived, preferred
their own kingdom. They often cited that humans, while well
intentioned, were not meant to prosper at the side of the Faerie and
so they taught men how to live in the mountains and even offered to
have them claim mines they managed to build above the dwarven
kingdoms below. This was normally on the grounds that the dwarves
were to be left to their own designs. And so the kingdom above,
called the hinter court, or the kingdom of the white winter, was
aided by a kingdom of darkness and stone below, the dwarven kingdom.
The two coexisted for a long time, but
seldom did one intrude upon the other, nor did they aid one another
lest the other made the request and a stout offer.
With time, the kingdoms came to trust
one another and guide one another through the times and the passing
of the seasons. The humans would learn the practical art of forging
an oven with heat enough to bake ten fires with naught but a few
lumps of wood and the dwarves would learn the finer crafts of blanket
weaving, an appreciation of art they'd previously considered
foolishness, and various other useful transactions of cultural
knowledge. When one kingdom acquired a new technology, it was given
to the other for a price. In this way trade led to a mutual
prospering between the two kingdoms.
