I just made a discovery that could be tied to this concept:

City of the Gods (ZGG edition) describes the realm of a Fire Giant King named Gunot-Vanur(p 33), the Fire-Nymph Ascendoris (p11), the Sword Ember (p 12), The Fire Salamander Lord Jihzaja (p16).

On the Sword Ember:
"The blade was forged as a gift to the barbarian warlords, when the world was still young and the dwarves reigned over
much of the north. Forged by the legendary dwarf smith Thorwien Dur’Hail. " --> I am tempted to ignore the reference to a dwarven reign of the north and instead place the forging of this blade to the Age of Giants.

I wonder if Gunot-Vanur is a long lost descendant of King Jevarin Firehammer?

Hehehe... So, now BMd20 supersedes Ritchie/Arneson? :twisted:

Actually, yeah, I misread that. There I was thinking, "where were those references in DA3?"

I think the dwarven kingdom south of the North (*drumroll*) was more than a random reference, though.
Either we, you and I, talked about the concept at some point, or someone else suggested it.
