Great flavor! Lets name your group.During his journeys he found a hold, where a small group of reclusive dwarves live, who claim to follow the path of the First Dwarves. According to their believes (which are now shared by Farvick), the current generations is doomed, unless they give up their greed-tainted way of life. Durin is not reincarnating any more - because his "latest" incarnation is not dead. But he is in deep slumber in some unknown place under the Misty Mountains (not Mount Gundabad anymore, as that place was overtaken by the Orcish hordes).
The dwarves you found claim to be in the halls of Tumunzahar, known as Nogrod in the Sindarin tongue. We'll call them "The Penitents of Tumunzahar." There is some neat Tolkien flavor here, which I'll post on the other thread.
It can feed both beliefs and Relationships. I see here an Affiliation with The Penitents, potential relationship with someone there, a potential relationship with the person you need to convince from the Lonely Mountain, a role for you in shaping dwarven history. Does he have beliefs about the relations with the Elves, given the First Dwarves fall to greed? Does he already know elves (and thus buys an affiliation or relationship)? Does he have a belief about taking the dwarves to the Blue Mountains? On repopulating the ancient dwarfhomes? On finding the still-slumbering Durin? On recovering ancient lore from the depths of one of the dwarfhomes? Perhaps you are the reason the royal family ends up in the Blue Mountains? Perhaps you are the reason Thror tries to enter Moria? The long-term consequences of your evangelistic actions, falling on the fertile ground of homeless despair, could be manifold.
Is Enoch's Chronicler the person you are seeking approval from in Erebor to get back into the fold?
Do you have a pre-existing relationship with the Elf? How do you feel about elves, given your obsession with the First Age history (where they came to war due to dwarven greed)?
You and Dogma were both Noble-Born Ardents and the time overlapped. He went on to fulfill his path as an Axe Bearer in the Royal Guard (while you continued to apprentice... he's 15 years older) and you quit and went adventuring. What relationship do you two have to each other? Are you a pair of brothers? Friends? Rivals?
