Hammer's Reach (aka Dwarven Base or Hammerfall) is the first dungeon in Archimedia.
Hammer's Reach is a battlefield between the Elves and the Goblins with Dwarfs. Ashtaroth hides around here somewhere.
Elves, the Black Wood, are the Assassin-like Squadron (using Lass' Thief and Dark Assassin characteristics). However, upon the Grand Chase's arrival, the elven troops seem to have either retreated and let the Chase do their work, or just remained in the shadows.
The Goblins, the Fire Hammer, used mechanical-like tools, strongly unknown to the Chase. The mechanical like "outdated" properties strongly hints that Mari hails from Archimedia.
Since both races attacked the Chase, a third party to the war.
Prior through exploration, they meet Talin Elfbane, a Dwarf who leads the Goblins, and header of Hammer's Reach. He accuses the Chase being "spies" of the Elves. After his defeat, he is shamed due to his loss and Hammer's Reach. The Chase explain that they are trying to find an enemy, but he, like everyone else, doesn't believe them. Although the Chase try to plead, they're too busy to even care and just leave.
Ronan: So we're finally here. The land of endless warfare, as told through legends. Lass:Ashtaroth has nowhere to hide. I will hunt him down to the very end! Arme: I never realized that Archimedia actually existed! I feel like we're in some kind of a fairy tale! Sieghart: Huh? Why is this place so special? Ronan: Sieghart, I see you already knew about this place. But, would Ashtaroth really have come here to hide? Elesis: This is only a hunch, but I think Sieghart's right. But, this is supposed to be the land of endless fighting between dwarves and elves. It's a bit too quiet around here. Ryan: That's why we sohuld be more careful! Look out! It's an ambush!
(Several Black Wood Scouts and Black Wood Assassins appear out of nowhere)
Second Room
Lire: That was close. Judging by their expertise with magic and weapons, they must've been elves. Sieghart: Yeah, because the pointy ears didn't give it away. Still, it's too soon to relax!
(Like with the Black Wood Elves, several Fire Hammer Smiths and Torchmen appear out of the blue)
After the Second Room Battle
Amy: Judging by their mechinal know-how and armaments, they must've been goblin troops fighting for the dwarves. Arme: Is it just me, or have both the dwarves and elves decided we're intruding? Jin: It looks that way, we're enemies to both!
Mini Boss
Amy: Wow~ Look at that thing over there! It's moving on it's own! Elesis: That's amazing! A completely automated machinery. Mari: Outdated technology. Must belong to the dwarves. Elesis: ... Sieghart: ...So it seems like Mari knows Archimedia well. (She may have lost her memory, but her body seems to remember.) Ronan: But since we've never fought against machines before, let's not let our guard down.
Boss
Talin Elfbane: Those cowardly elves are recruiting humans into the war! Elesis: We're not fighting on any side. We have no intentions of joining this war. Talin Elfbane: Haha! That's what you spies always say. you now face the wrath of the dwarves! FOR THUNDER HAMMER!
Post Boss Battle
Talin Elfbane: I don't believe this. Hammer's Reach is lost. Defeated by elven spies. Ronan: We have nothing to do with the elves! We're chasing down an enemy of our own! Talin Elfbane: Hmm! Do I look like a fool? I don't believe you! Elesis: Believe us or not, we're kind of busy so we'll be leaving now! Bye!
Trivia
Lire says the Black Wood Elves used "magic", which probably refers to their quick slices and their teleportation. However, "Quick Slash" and "Shadow Teleportation" are not magic skills; they are physical combat abilities.
Ironically the Goblins are led by a character from a different race. It is unknown how this dwarf became their leader, or more specifically, how the Goblins allied with the Dwarves.
It is currently unknown whether the Black Woods are actually part of the Eryuell Corps or an entirely different entity.
While Elves are clearly shown to belong to this battle, they are only encountered once, and are never encountered again throughout the dungeon. It is possible that when the Grand Chase showed up, the Elves decided to retreat and/or were recalled.
