Editing Deríthal-Vel (section)

== History ==
Deríthal-Vel has never been breached by force of arms, nor starved into submission, even during decade-long sieges, although it has surrendered in the past to avoid bloodbaths.<ref name=":0" />

An incident occurred in which several of Dwarfhome's master smiths and their teams were disgraced and banished, including two who had been acclaimed as the only true smiths of Deríthal-Vel in seven hundred years, [[Pelt]] and [[Taxus]]. All of their tools were broken and they were told never to lift a hammer within Dwarfhome ever again. Younger smiths also ran off in shame, swore off of steel or left.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/08/9-44-p/ Chapter 9.44 P]</ref> It was the only day the forges of Deríthal-Vel were silent.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/06/18/interlude-singing-ships/ Interlude - Singing Ships]</ref>

There was once an axe-throwing competition held in Deríthal-Vel, in which the winner would be bestowed a mastercraft axe. The winner was [[Dawil Ironbreaker]], who had entered the competition while drunk, as a joke.

Ghosts came to Deríthal-Vel during the Days of Return, but did not find what they were looking for, or what they wanted was still dormant. This prompted the Dwarves to expand from Dwarfhome once again, and sent colonists to re-settle [[Dwarfhalls Rest]] in [[Izril]].<ref name=":1" /> Some of the banished smiths had begged forgiveness and returned, and were sent on the expedition to Dwarfhalls Rest.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/08/9-44-p/ Chapter 9.44 P]</ref>
