[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5249211, member: 92511"] [b]Dwarves[/b] Sorry, skipped this bit, though they are made between the Elves and Men. Just...not a whole lot to their story. Anyone have any ideas for beefing up a dwarven creation myth? Lemme know. The Birth of Dwarves It is said upon seeing the birth of the elves from the blood of the god, Antas, and the reverence they bestowed on the First of Ossa, the Elder god of the mountains, Oor, had the idea to create beings that would be devoted to Him and the riches of the earth and stone over which He held sway. So, Oor ventured to His smithy the northern mountains. Oor hid in their depths from His brothers and sisters while He made His greatest works. From the very rock itself Oor chiseled the first dwarves in his image. He then took gold and silver and wove it for their hair. Oor gave the dwarves beards as He wore Himself. He used iron for their will and mithral for their valor. When He was satisfied with their appearance, He blew the flame of Life into them with his great bellows, and so the first dwarves, the Ooran, came to be. The place where Oor wrought this work He called Naradun, and so the mountain range and the dwarves that continue to live there, are called to this day. Oor taught his new race how to mine ores and forge alloys, how to craft great weapons, armor, and jewels. He taught them the secret ways of the stones, how to navigate the caverns and passages in the realms beneath the green fields, and how to fight the dark forces that Karos spewed forth from His hidden exile.
