+died in those years and few have returned since the wars ended.  The dwarves,
+therefore, have been forced to do the work (primarily agricultural) that they
+detest.  Trade with [[Backbone]] is difficult since the two lands are separated
+by a great distance and orcs still plague this zone, but the dwarves have made a
+concerted effort to carve a safe route.  They are continually frustrated by
+Queen [[Rathwyn]] since she refuses to commit her soldiers to patrol these dangerous
+trade routes.  The bottom line is simple:  Blanan needs the trade,
+[[Backbone]] does not.  This is a position that the dwarves find unacceptable!
