The (re)discovery of Albion would have been nothing more than idle gossip, had Oni, the famed/mocked wanderer not arrived at the doors of the King requesting an audience with Ravensoak
Oni - considered by some of the clan nobles as little more than an annoyance with better days long behind him, retained the ear of many high figures in Dwarf society, for some reason they kept to themselves.
A period of private discussion followed, until Ravensoak sent for Ungrim Grunnson, middle son of a family in long decline, decent reputation and reliable, and informed him that he had an opportunity for him. Simply put - to assemble an expeditionary group for Oni and head out to Albion
The purpose of this mission, Grunnson was informed, that Oni had come into certain information about undiscovered runic lore contained on the island, carved onto the Ogham Stones themselves.
"Albion is an untapped resource, so some form of exploration should be done at least. If Oni has it right, then could be worthwhile. I'll send Burlinson with you, as well, just his sort of affair. Good sort to have on a job like this"
Not thinking it politic to state his reservations at this point, Grunnson accepted and headed out to begin recruiting for the trip, quickly followed by salesdwarfs specialising in ships, waterproofing and blacksmithry.
