He thought of Thorbardin, exploring in his mind all of
the myriad ways and working clusters of the unde-
rmountain kingdom - as much of it as he had seen and
could recall. Clearest to him in memory were the city of
the Daewar, the only home he had ever known, and the
warrens where he had worked for his keep from time to
time - first tending fields, then helping with the constant
delving by which the dwarves sought to expand their un-
derground crop lands. Clearly he recalled Twelfth Road,
which he had passed so of ten as a child. Less distinctly he
knew the Tenth, Eleventh, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth
Roads, by which Daewar conducted commerce with
other cities of Thorbardin.
Dimly, from one brief visit, he recalled the awesome
Life-Tree, home of the Hylar. Their city was delved into a
giant stalactite above the great, subterranean Urkhan
Sea. As an orphan Chane had possessed the appearance
of Hylar in his build and features, and later even in the
manner in which his beard lay back against his cheeks
rather than hanging resignedly downward. The Hylar,
he had thought as a child, had a fierce and noble
appearance - and undoubtedly some among them had
such qualities, though there were plenty of Hylar who in
practice were no more noble than the average Daewar
