Breaking Through
"Together, the dwarves of the Gabil'akkâ will break through the ice that blocks our passage into Gundabad!"

- 'This may be a dragon's ice, but it is ice all the same.'
- Venko: 'Prince Ingór ordered that I help break through the ice alongside these Longbeards, but even without that command I would do it. Let them see the Zhélruka hold true to their word.

- Prince Durin says, "I command the Gabil'akkâ, and we will have Gundabad once more!"
- Rúvaran says, "Your warriors are led by a pair of princes?"
- Rúvaran says, "A crown ill fits two heads."
