Hammerbeard first challenged the suitor dwarves
To fetch two bits of bone and two bat wings
From the surrounding hills, to prove
That they valued the foundation of marriage.

Grumphilda, a tempestuous beauty,
Grew tired of these boring games most quickly.
She demanded her suitors wrestle for her hand!
To prove that they were not brave, but also had brawn.

Let it be known that doe-eyed Grumphilda
Sighed many nights, and in her secret heart
still longed for the warm embrace of her intended
That heroic halfling that perished in the ocean.

Grumphilda watched with considerable glee
as the dwarven men wrestled in the grass and dirt
After several hours, she had had enough
And Hammerbeard laid precedent for the third trial

“A race from the gates of Kaladim to the docks!”
Hammerbeard declared. “And then my daughter
Shall decide for whom she has the most desire
to give her hand for eternal marriage!”

The falcons flying above Butcherblock
that day, had never before seen dwarves
Fly with such speed upon the rock face
Of that lowly world.

At length, Grumphilda declared Stolie
The winner of their race. And she designed
to take his hand for marriage. For Stolie
had proved most admirable of all the Suitors.

After a much needed feast, the proceedings
began. The ceremony was held by the sea
Grimbil the halfling Cleric presided as officiator.
Things were merry. The weather warm. Grumphilda happy!
