turrets and traps, the only weapons that can protect the dwarves from Witch
Queen Vandra the Wicked and her army of bloodthirsty trolls and monstrous
creatures. This prologue includes the events that take place before Dwerve

of the turrets and enemies, and introduces many of the main characters.

## Backstory & Lore
In the massive hollow mountain of Mount Crowcrest, there once lived a great
nation of dwarves. The dwarves discovered power stones while mining deep in
the mountain. They used them to power machines and, eventually, entire cities.
They lived in peace and prosperity for centuries.
Over time they became infatuated with power stones and dug deeper to find
more. One day they dug too deep and unleashed the Gloomdark Hordes, an army of
trolls and monstrous creatures. Once the dwarves realized that trolls turned
to stone in the sunlight, they fled far from the mountain and found refuge on
the sunny Hills of Brekka.
Centuries passed and, over time, the dwarves forgot their traditions and
abandoned craftsmanship and innovation in favor of warring and raiding.
History became myth, and myth became bedtime stories. But whispers of a long
forgotten darkness echo throughout the valley of the great mountain. It can be
heard in the Snoring Forest, by those who dare to enter…
