Thornton Oakenshield and the Quest for the Margarenstone

In order to regain his ancestral home of Marlbor, Thornton Oakenshield must obtain the coveted Margarenstone and defeat Smog, the evil dragon of despair before it claims his soul. A crossover parody of North & South and The Hobbit. I have to credit J. R. R. Tolkien, Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Sandy Welch (their words in italics).
