Quartered within the dwarven camp in the Siroccian Mountains, Thingol, the camp leader, was a busy dwarf. He was wary of all visitors but particularly despised the orcs, whose outpost lies nearby, due to their habit of raiding the small mining community.
In 567 AF, with the Siroccian mines, a chamber was discovered which contained a strange iron armband which Thingol dove to catch when a group of Phaestians managed to pry it from the stone wall. Upon touching the artefact there was an explosion leaving not but a char mark in its wake, the camp leader no more. A Dwarf Moot was held for Thingol and Adalgar of Clan Orcsplitter assumed leadership of the camp.
