Arrival in Kamir

Salazar had delivered part of the bargain, bringing Hikari 5 books he had on him. The rest were promised for a later date. Once the awkward atmosphere had cleared, the elf had already delved into one of them.

The book was by a man named Sabrinas Parallaxes—somebody who was a modern scholar in the Wesian Empire and studied the history of the world. The name of this piece was History of the East II: The Secret of the Crystalline Dwarves.

Amazingly, these dwarves were not the ones you would first think of when you hear dwarf. They are little stout people, but their bodies have small purple crystal formations around them.

According to Sabrinas Parallaxes, the locals have their own beliefs about the reason. They say that the ancient dwarven settlers who arrived there collapsed a dungeon, and the reason they have purple crystals on their bodies was the blessing of the Dwarven God: Scharmire.
