Rozena has an outgoing personality.
"...And so I nominate Dunkel as my successor."
When she said this, the other dwarves started murmuring.
Dunkel's image in the Red Anvil Mine had changed dramatically over the past few days.
But still, there were opposing opinions.
"He's still young and inexperienced."
"That's something I can teach. The masters will nurture his qualities as a mine lord."
"Surely there are other talented individuals who could become mine lord?"
"Who are you talking about? Raise your hand if you want to challenge for the mine lord position."
No one raised their hand.
Not because they were afraid of Rozena, but because there were actually very few dwarves who wanted to become mine lord.
Why would they take on that troublesome position that only increases their workload enormously, and sometimes requires them to move across continents and handle diplomacy?
