Inside 68: Dawn of a New Season (or two)

"The Singer and elves both excavate the mountains in search of crystals. Or rather, the Singer shapes tunnels with her song, helping the elves develop their settlements, since they lack the goblins' tunnelling alchemy. In return, they take the crystals and give them to her garden. For what purpose, I cannot say." The King's branches sway as he thinks. "She lets them use some crystals for their own purposes. They also defend the mountains from trolls, who come from the depths and are single-mindedly determined to eat the crystals. Damon's role will be protection, an extra pair of eyes and if need be, a strong axe-wielding arm. Not to mention proof that I have strong allies and fulfil my promises."
