After Alex went to the city entrance, he was approached by a cloaked figure who told him that Master Thogrim had sent him before he said to him that they would be traveling through space.

Alex quickly located the source of noise and heat, which was the colossal forge at the far end of the room that had a blazing violet flame roaring within it, and before it stood a small muscular dwarf who was engrossed in hammering the anvil before him.
