Chapter 20

Lochzan had joined some others to travel into the duergar mines
within the underdark. They went to free the various slaves the
duergar were keeping. As they passed through the mines Lochzan
was surprised by his feelings, he felt no compassion for the
slaves, no desire to free them. At first he could not understand
why, but he realized that the ones they had enslaved had once
wandered free, with no real purpose or ambition. Now that they
were forced to work, they had been given meaning. These slaves
had been allowed to be part of something greater. It mattered not
that their free will had been stripped from them. They had at
least been given some home in their miserable lives. Lochzan
realized that there was hope for those upon the surface as well.
As chaos was purged from the land, those who had proven to be of
no use to order before could be made to serve it. They would come
to see how blind they had been and what great things lay before
them.
