• The Story of the Dwarves and the Treasures of the Gods Aug 11, 2025

  

  Deep beneath the mountains of Svartalfheim, in halls carved from living rock and lit by the glow of forge-fires that never died, dwelt the most skilled craftsmen in all the Nine Realms. These were the dwarves—master smiths, enchanters, and creators whose works were so magnificent that even the gods themselves coveted their creations.

  The dwarves were not like the other races of the cosmos. Born from the flesh of the primordial giant Ymir when the world was first made, they had been granted by the gods a gift that surpassed even divine abilities—the power to create objects that combined perfect craftsmanship with living magic.

• The Story of the God Dvalin Aug 10, 2025

  

  Deep beneath the roots of Yggdrasil, where fire runs in veins through living rock and the hammer-song echoes through crystal caverns, lives the most skilled craftsman in all the Nine Realms. His name is Dvalin, and he is greatest among the dwarves—those master-smiths whose hands can shape wonders from metal and stone, whose tools can craft impossibilities as easily as others make bread.

  Dvalin was old when the world was young, and his knowledge of metal-craft and stone-shaping went back to the first days when the earth’s bones were still warm from creation. While other dwarves were skilled—and all dwarves were skilled beyond the understanding of gods or men—Dvalin possessed something more: the vision to see what could be, not just what was.
