===Cidin-Kazar===
You see, what men call Cidin-Kazar is but a surface trade town which facilitates commerce between the hidden under-city and the surface realms.  The surface town consists of only six hundred souls or so, of whom perhaps one hundred and fifty are males of an age and fitness to bear arms in times of need. Dimrock the Hill Dwarf is the authority figure there, and Meilgan Erg the Grognard is Captain o' the Watch. Frale Fraban is the town's priest of Kazadarum.

If you seek passage to the undercity, which would be a rare achievement for those not of dwarven blood, I can think of no better dwarf to intercede on your behalf than Slithering Okli. He is a sage and an alchemist. He does his experiments down underneath Orad Mountain, but has a strange fear of sleeping underground, so he maintains a domicile above-ground. If you were to convince him that you could in any way be of significant assistance in the carrying out of his research, he would likely be willing to make introductions. Various dwarves of the undercity hold him in high esteem, for his lore concerning gems and minerals is deep indeed. He has also memorized much lore concerning the more famous swords and sundry items of the various heroes of old who once trod the land.

If you seek nothing more in the Cidin-Kazar than to restock, you should seek Kutrik the Gnome. He is a merchant and an honest horse-trader. I can also vouch for the provender he vends. Many's the time I've bought hardtack off of him, and never once has it been ridden with nasty mealworms.
