# King Melair IV
_Dwarf King (Ghost) | [[Melairkyn Dwarves]] | [[Heart of the Mountain]]_
## Summary
Last ruler of the [[Melairkyn Dwarves]], whose ghost appeared to [[McMickey]] in the [[Heart of the Mountain]]—a sacred chamber where the immense weight of the mountain pressed down. Asked if [[McMickey]] was "the One who was Promised" and tasked him with destroying demon-containing statues to prove his worthiness. Promised magical rewards and spoke of helping the dwarves reclaim [[Undermountain]].

## Background
The [[Melairkyn Dwarves]] built the great city of [[Stromkuhldur]] in the depths beneath [[Mount Waterdeep]]. They fell after attacks by drow and demons, with many demons trapped in statues throughout their former domain. [[King Melair IV]]'s ghost now seeks a champion of [[Melairkyn]] blood to help reclaim their ancient home. [[McMickey]]'s connection to this legacy drove much of his journey through [[Undermountain]].
