An Imperial oil painting commemorating the moment Marena Lyr brought the Hammerfall Misunderstanding to an end. Seated at a humble tavern table with a Dwarrow foreman and an Imperial centurion, she achieves more with two mugs of ale than armies could with steel. Historians often remark that this quiet exchange accomplished what diplomacy, rhetoric, and military posturing could not — it stopped a war before it had the chance to begin.
