The Dwarf was part of the muscle on a merchant caravan headed North on the Tethymare trail headed to Daggerfalls. The Huntcrown caravan was attacked by a massive pack of wolves lead by a direwolf. The wolves butchered the horses and killed several of the guards protecting the craven. On the next day, the stranded craven was attacked and looted by Rogue Zentarium half-orcs. They killed everyone and burnt the wagons. After killing several of the bandits you fled west on an offshoot trail being pursued for two days. During the pursuit, you killed several more half-orcs and they gave up the chase finding several of their comrades beheaded. Out of the woods you have stumbled to the base of The White Crag.
