Although usually reticent in allowing outsiders into their wonderful city, I was welcomed by the Mountain Dwarves into Bordinar's Cleft. In part, my guide's introduction of me and my undertaking helped to expedite the process. It appears that there is some curiosity in how I view the other races I have encountered. Most of the dwarves I spoke with held very rigid views in regards to any who are not dwarven.
Upon entering the halls of Bordinar's Cleft, I noticed first the polished grey stone walls shining, reflecting the light of torches attached at regular intervals around the perimeter of the first vast chamber. Ore veins marbled the walls interrupting the high sheen from time to time. Various gems, still held fast in the stone, only add to the beauty of this city.
One experience not to be missed in Bordinar's Cleft is a visit to a tavern. Even as one approaches the chosen establishment, it is possible to hear the sonority of dwarven voices singing along with the steady cadence of tankards and utensils being pounded upon the tables. The consumption of ale seems almost ritualistic in its practice. Even with my sparse Dwarvish vocabulary, I was able to enjoy the songs immensely. The ale was as superb as the music.
