Markus Heitz is one of the most famous German fantasy authors and that’s why I read the book The Dwarves a very long time ago, because I’m a big fan of the dwarves and I think that the dwarves are just the coolest race there is. The six master mages are also challenged – but it is about all the dwarf Tungdil, who grew up apart from his people, who seems to be the decisive cog in the work of fate. Slowly but steadily it spreads and finally only an army led together with dwarves and humans seems to be able to defy this power. With the help of dark magic and a debilitating disease, the orcs storm the Stone Gateway of the Northern Pass with the hostile Albae and bring an ominous plague upon the land. Then a breakthrough succeeds that completely wipes out the fifth dwarf tribe.
This is the responsibility of the dwarves, who guard the magic-infused portals in the mountains and know how to prevent any intrusion from outside. Even if there are small skirmishes between the different races, their common interest is to keep the hordes of orcs and ogres away from their land. The Protected Land – here humans, elves and dwarves live side by side in peace. Those who fail to look beyond the surface will never encounter true virtue – not in others and certainly not in themselves. Appearances are there to be ignored, for the biggest hearts may reside in the smallest and unlikeliest of creatures.
