: A mountain pass (i.e. seven gates, the stair of grief,
: etc.) is often the only entrance to a valley. If you
: destroy the only entrance to the valley, no one comes
: in or out. As hard as it is to believe collapsing a
: fortification would be enough to stop the ghols, it's
: even harder to believe that doing so would kill 10,000
: dwarves.
: LOL, okay, whatever. I didn't "accuse" you of
: anything, I pointed out an error in your logic. And
: note the ":)" after propaganda.
: No, the quote is: "Hours after the fall of Myrgard,
: the dwarves defending Stoneheim collapsed the
: barbican, entombing ten thousand of their number
: behind as many tons of shattered rock." It
: doesn't actually say the barbican was collapsed in
: response to Myrgard's demise. That's just when it
: happened, unless you read between the lines (correctly
: or incorrectly). This is also the only text that gives
: any evidence to the caves theory: "entombing...
: behind" gives a picture of someone either trapped
: in a cave or under a lot of collapsed rock.
"...they celebrate the capture of the Dwarven capital at Myrgard with feasts under the full moon..." from the Ghol text. How can you celebrate something under a full moon if you're underground?
