			==== Trouble Below the City ====

			Though the war was over, the reasons that caused the war were not. Though the treaty with T'Nanshi specified that food deliveries were to be made, and although the Healers of Cha'reth had worked out promises of more food deliveries from Ferrell and Deglos, Moira was adamant in her arguments that these deliveries did not solve the fundamental problem. M'Chek must find a way to feed itself, not rely on the vagueries of food production and delivery from hundreds of miles away.

			While discussions were just starting on how to deal with that matter, a summons came to the Council of Balance that they were to be present at a meeting at Lord Grumbald's residence. The other attendees were the M'Chek Guards, members of the Order of Valok, members of the Order of Gorethar, members of the Keepers of the Cycle, and of the Council of Dagath.

			Moira was overjoyed as Lord Grumbald revealed a plan for the City to purchase the Dwarven Quarter from the Church of Gorethar in order to use the lower caverns, known as the Mikona Underdark, for Deglossian Farming. The Church of Gorethar had agreed to sell the area as long as the souls were freed first, and that the OoG oversee their release from their curse. Lord Grumbald had called the groups together to ask if each of our groups would help in freeing the cursed.

			These cursed souls were the dwarven workers who helped build the foundations and walls of the city of Mikona. What little information can be gathered from the time of the curse related that the dwarves dug deep under the city to quarry for rock and metals. Strangely, priests of both Valok and Mikon had strange dreams, telling them that the dwarves must be stopped. The valokian priest was able to gather a crowd, and accused the dwarves of trying to take over the city. The mobs attacked the dwarves in their homes and murdered them, while the priests of Mikon and Dagath did nothing to stop it.

			Hundreds of years had passed, yet still the souls of the slain had never been taken to their place in the cycle.

			The combined groups set out to explore the lower caverns, and to try to discover what held the souls to the place.

			Trouble was, these lower caves were the abandoned lair of the lich Sorvanok, and as they soon discovered, more than a few remaining worshipers were still lurking in the caverns, including a dracolich named Draxithrax, that was searching through Sorvanok's belongings.

			Through many weeks of work and research and more work, and the distraction concerning a ring from the days of the demonwars, the dracolich was destroyed (Moira found his phylactery hidden behind a bookshelf in Sorvanok's library,) and remaining followers of Sorvanok were killed in the 'surprising' collapse of the cavern roof of Sorvanok's phylactery chamber.

			Then, in a touching and beautiful ritual led by Thror Stormhammer and others of Gorethar's faith, the souls of the cursed dwarven workers were released.

			Yet the city and the Order of Gorethar seemed very reluctant to finalize the clearing of the Dwarven Quarters. Moira found herself constantly reminding various government officials that the belongings of the long dead dwarves were to be returned to Galdos as promised. She made quite an irritant of herself until the city and the Order finally gathered the belongings and cleared the grounds of traps so that work could finally begin. Eventually the great hall of the Dwarven Quarters was refurbished into a Temple of Gorethar, and a secure entrance was built for the farms in the Underdark.

			In the meantime, under the auspices of Lord Korrington, who had been placed in charge of the project, Moira and her husband Kai'Ral traveled to Deglos and spoke to many different farmers and rothe herders. Several were persuaded to move south to Mikona and start the work on the farms below the city, while farmhands were recruited from around the neighboring countryside.

			Mixed up within all the tumult and destruction of the war, Moira had two focuses that raised her spirits. The first was the building of the Shelter of Hope Hospital. Often when she was depressed or angered from bad news, Moira would visit the Shelter and help bake bread, so she was excited to help the Shelter in any way she could.

			The combined sponsors were the Healers of Cha'reth and the Council of Balance, with aid from many generous donaters. Moira designed the plans for the hospital and saw to its construction. The work was slow, but the result was well worth the wait.

Due to her many hours dedicated to smithing, weaponcrafting, and several other arts, her hair is kept in a chin-length, practical cut, her nails trimmed short, her muscles toned and lean. She is graceful, but certainly not delicate, with an air of calm about her.		Moira is a tall woman, somewhat pale, with copper-colored hair and sky blue eyes.

Though considered georgio, he drew on his mother's romini roots for many of his beliefs and customs. Priena was an herbalist and the principal healer for the people who traveled with the caravan. The two met in the large Romini camp near the Fairy Gardens, and were soon devoted to each other.

	For most of Moira's childhood she was traveling with her parents, returning only once in a while to the Celyn family homestead found northeast of M'Chek's Finmaegan Keep. But danger pressed in as Sereg attacked M'Chek forces along the border, then in Mikona, then even Elysia. Her parents decided it was for the best that Priena and Moira stay in the relative safety of their small village while Bernart led another caravan to Elysia. It was a decision they would bitterly regret.
