Excerpt:

"Identifying cracks in the base of the large statutes characteristic of the dwarven kingdoms was no easy task. A hairline fracture in the center of such a hulking mass of stone—often supportive as well as decorative—was frequently undetectable. Too often, the only way such damage was found was when the stone began to crumble—or in the worst cases, collapsed entirely. Over time, the Dwarves learned those things that might proceed such damage—earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, other forces of nature. But even then, they could only survey carefully and monitor for signs—actually finding the crack before further damage resulted remained a prohibitively difficult job.

               Thror had ruled Erebor since before Thorin was born. A proud son of Durin, unyielding and indefatigable, he inspired creativity in his smiths and loyalty from his soldiers, and Erebor prospered, her halls pouring forth more gems under the Dwarves’ skilled hands than they knew what to do with. He was a pillar of Dwarven society, the rock upon which Erebor rested, and thus supported, it was impossible for them to fall.

               But Thorin began to fear they had overlooked a crack."
