Dragons breathe fiery judgment upon the dwarfs. As a lowly but mighty golem of the dwarfs, you must help reunite the shattered Houses, reclaim lost arcana, and spark a rebirth of civilization. Or erode into history with all of Dwarfdom. The game includes 5 Missions leading to 7 unique victories (and dozens of endings where you're destroyed). Structured as a branching narrative, this solo RPG gamebook invites you to direct the plot – but only if you master a unique combination of game mechanisms. Level up your character: Upgrade your attributes and skills Calculated gambits: Roll and gather dice to beat target thresholds Intellectual puzzles: Manipulate dice using limited actions Dexterity tests (optional): Slam dice at targets in battle —description from the publisher
