Deep within the mountain, Thror Stoneblack, the dwarven miner, followed ancient traces, braving deadly traps and suffocating darkness in search of the legendary treasure. At last, he stumbled upon a colossal chamber where the brilliance of the dragon's hoard pierced the eternal gloom, with a massive gem resting at its heart. But as Thror laid his hand upon the treasure, a thunderous roar shattered the silence, and the fiery red eyes of the ancient dragon opened, illuminating the cavern like the flames of the underworld.
