'TALE OF DWARVEN ORIGIN' (2563)
Upon the molding of the world, the Lord of Order looked about and
saw need for those to tend to the forging of the lands and the
molding of the ground. The task was eternal and thus daunting,
requiring a steady hand to maintain order within the jagged peaks
and valleys that would slowly grow throughout the realm. Wishing
to turn his attention elsewhere, he allowed the land to 'live' and
thus breathed life into the mountains. The mountains shifted and
hills grew as legend dictates the birth of Nordiach, First Lord
of the Earth. Nordiach was a tempermental God, said to sleep deep
beneath the earth and to thrash in his slumber, forming great valleys
and enormous mountains. Such creation and destruction caused the Lord
of Order to question his judgement. As time passed, he knew that if
the Mountain Lord was to continue in such a way, the lands would be
torn asunder. Men must be created to tend to the slumbering God. These
men would be formed in Nordiach's image. Strong like the mountains and
with the depth of the canyons. Their passions would rage like rivers
and their fortitude stood with the spirit of their Lord. Each would be
compelled by the hand of Order to go to great lengths to forge and shape
the land and always, tend to the slumbering behemoth that was Nordiach.
So goes the tale of the creation of the dwarves.
