December 1 - 24 dancing dwarves: 5. Celebration by Aranel Took
It was a very rare event that brought about this most joyous of celebrations among the Dwarves, an event even more precious than the discovery of a new vein of ore or a perfect jewel. Within the hall a great feast would be held: mounds of food, casks of ales, rare liquors.
But while the dwarf-men feasted and sang, a different celebration was held by the dwarf-women. In a quiet chamber, watched by their sisters, twenty-four women would dance a dance of thanks for this blessed event that brought a new face to their ranks: the birth of a girl-child.
