Chapter 290: The Awaited Foe

Gulnur stood behind Malador, closely inspecting his work, more by curiosity than duty. All the sigils he was carving formed a beautiful band that stretched across the base of the outer wall.

Since he was stuck inside the base, Malador offered to beef up its defences. Might as well make it safe while he was here, he thought.

The runes he was engraving into the wall were something he had been working on as a side project. The master he had learned under, in the Dwarven city of Krag'mine, had taught him many things about runes.

Malador was a carpenter outside of the game, and he already had great attention to detail. He also loved to carve when he had free time.

His house was filled with sculpted figurines, or handmade furniture with odd shapes and patterns. When he saw online that New Eden had playable crafters, he bought a helmet, as well as a copy of the game, so he could explore new possibilities.
