She went on for some time about the various implements needed to make the forge operational. There was one large parcel of various small levers, gears, and other tools which would probably be near her personal chambers at Bald Man's Crown. There were also five large orbs of refined drownstone used in the Sky-Forge's main apparatus, which could be anywhere in the castle. The Sky-Forge would be operational with just one such orb, but would not be fully functional until all five had been recovered. Once you had the parcel of tools and at least one drownstone orb, Zenais was willing to follow you into the castle along with a few friends and attempt to restart the Sky-Forge.

Rumor 1:
You were near the paper forts with a band of dwarves last fall. You found yourselves in the territory of the orc-hold, about five miles deep. There was some kind of beast there which was picking off stray orcs here and there.
You tracked the beast for some time, trying to learn its ways. It was huge and dangerous, perhaps a dire bear, with padded and clawed feet. The beast was probably staying in a cave on the orc side of the Shearwall spur, though you couldn’t find the precise one. You guessed it would stay there at least through the winter. Any large movements of armed soldiers through the area, such as those that might occur later in the spring, might disrupt its hunting grounds and send it towards more civilized lands.
Rumor 9:
You were riding a lake boat near Limbyen, talking to an old fisherman onboard. He kept pointing out the net of a neighboring boat and talking about the fish that were being unloaded. It was hard to hear him at first, but eventually he started to make sense. Many of the fish were highly unusual for an ordinary river, and probably originated from beneath the mountains. Fish from beneath the mountains were poorly understood here, but this old fisherman knew one of them quite well.
It was large and squidlike, with several grappling tentacles. The man kept calling it a drowner, and said that it liked to pull young lassies like you overboard and trap them in a cage underwater. He seemed quite serious. He also went on and on about a special rock it carried which he had seen mess with magic. He seemed to think drowners ate these rocks, and saved them like treasures in their underwater cages. The same underwater cages they use to drown young lassies.
When he was done talking to you, his wife came behind him and took his shoulder gently. She thanked you, and said that was the most he had spoken to anyone in ages. The old man stared at you, with eyes like an owl, the rest of the boat ride.
Rumor 10:
While traveling south of your usual range, you overheard a woman drinking at a bar. She was extremely insistent to her comrades that she had actually been inside Pyrsa castle. She was talking about approaching the castle, something about an alarm horn - or maybe it was an alarm bell?
You moved closer to ask her about it, but she took one look at you and immediately vomited profusely. Just your luck. She was bundled off straightaway, though she managed to sneak one more drink on the way out. They were her silvers to burn, she swore.
Maybe you learned her name and tried to find her the next day, but by the time you would have gotten a chance to talk to her, she was gone. Travelling South.
Rumor 18:
You were practicing archery at a local range not long ago and engaged in some friendly competition with your neighbor. All in good fun, not much ego involved. He clearly had a gift for feathering targets, and trounced you handily.
Afterwards, he couldn't stop talking about how he was going to kill "The Griffon of Nikas' peak." Those were his words, anyway.
Here and there, you've asked around. There are people who know all about griffons, and they assure you such beasts are only found farther south. But you have also heard other folk speak of some huge bird - or is it a dragon? - which has taken roost above Pyrsa castle. You have been meaning to ask for news from any who range the grounds north of the Ormonas river, but such folk are rare and seldom talkative.
Background:
Motivation: 7) You want to lay the undead dwarves to rest and undo whatever pact they made with demonic forces. This would undo the shame of a people and set right a great wrong in the world.
Native of Akron, Torvi was born shortly after the doom of Pyrsa was decided. She has been raised to high ideals by her parents who hold the dream of cleansing the keep of the evil within it, but no great allegiance to either Nain or Mahal. Torvi is familiar with Zenais the Wise, and it was Zenais who enchanted her dorn-dergar. Torvi's parents were not noble, but were both members of the guard, who chose not to accept undeath in the pact, and thus left Pyrsa.
Torvi owes a debt of honor to Maglor Swiftfoot, although they have never met. Maglor's efforts on behalf of the Sundered Dwarves have not gone unnoticed among the Dwarves themselves.
Torvi is good friends with the dwarven bard, Slate Goldtongue. Slate is a Sundered Dwarf who travels the area, hitting most of the towns, regailing the locals with songs of the glories of the past and of the racial heroes among the dwarves. Slate taught Torvi everything she knows about singing. Slate's is very knowledgeable and could be useful as a source of Lore.
Torvi has no love for the orcs, although no real animosity for them either.
Character highlights: Torvi's fiery red hair is her most notable physical attribute. She wears it in long braids, fairly typical of warrior maidens. Her strength is a bit legendary within her community, and the easy way in which she wears her heavy armor is unusual even among dwarves.
Torvi has an intense interest in history, nobility, and her faith. These things define her.
She is not devoted to a single dwarven deity, but rather to the end of the pantheon's spectrum that is more Lawful and Good, with is not meant to imply that she doesn't recognize the existence of the more Chaotic and Evil dwarven deities, and she respects their domains as well, she just doesn't practice them.
Class/Functional abilities: Stonecunning (like all Dwarves), Cleave and Great Cleave opportunities would be nice
