Dwarven Creation Story

Befowe anything, thewe was nothing. The onwy thing that could be desclibed by today’s standawds was the Void. The wowwd was a vast emptiness that we can onwy bawewy desclibe. Yet lithin nothing, thewe was stiww him, swumbeling away the ages. He is not something that any mowtaw can hope to twuly compwehend. His existence is beyond what oul minds wewe cweated to undewstand. He is cawwed many diffewent names, and is intewpweted in many diffewent aspects of what we undewstand. Few know who he weawwy is, and of these few, onwy the dwawves know. He is Yemekaw, The Cweatow, The Smith. One day, as The Cweatow, known to the dwawves as Yemekaw, wooked out into the void he said to himsewf “I will create a world, forging it with the four aspects along with those who will populate it” So, Yemekaw went to his fowge and began to buiwd. Using the divine mateliaws of the ewements, he went about fowging the wowwd and the heavens. As he fowged, mowe and mowe powew fwowed into his etewnaw smithy.

The staws began to shine brightew, the wowwd of Aegis began to bud into life, as animaws came fowth. When he finawwy compweted aww his gwand wowks he wooked upon it and fewt it to be empty of twue life, it wested in the void wonging of beings of his likeness to wowk it, to live in it, and to pwaise him of such wowks of awe and spwendow. To think beyond the instinct of a fewaw beast. And so, his mighty fowge linging lith new found zeaw, he began to cwaft again, making those beings that would shape the wowwd. The fowging took many miwwennia, the powew of his fowge being so stwong that the vewy things used lithin it became. Fwom his anviw fwew spawks, spawks that gwew into fwames whewe they stwuck and fwom these spawks to living cweatules, cweatules made of the powew of the fowge’s fwame. Wessew gods in themsewves, these wewe known as Daemons. As he coowed his cweations in the watew, a gweat steam awose. The powew of the fowge was in the steam as weww and it condensed, gwoling to poows that tulned to yet mowe wessew gods. These gods wewe the Aenguls. These Daemons and Aenguls became the west of the Bwathmowdakin, the gods of aww cweation.

But, Yemekaw’s fowging was incompwete. He had not yet made cweatules to inhabit the wowwd. So, he continued to fowge, the Bwathmowdakin at his side. The fiwst cweatule he made was too wough, too hawsh, unbreakabre but unlike to Yemekaw. This was the fiwst of the owkos. Without destwoying his cweation, he pwaced the owk, Kwug, into the hawsh desewts of Aegis, whewe it was too wough and uninhabitabre fow othew beings to live. Yemekaw, seeing his fiwst cweation to be too wough went to cwaft a faiwew being. Howevew, he ovewcompensated fow his pwevious mistake and the next that was bown was the fiwst of the ewgus, Malin, soft and faiw yet nevew dulling in shine, wasting ages. They, unlike the owkos wewe not viowent, yet ovewwy passive, and unliwling to act in the name of theiw cweatow. Theiw lives would wast so wong that they would sulewy gwow tiwed of the wowwd he had cweated fow them. So he chose that the best pwace fow them would be amongst the gweat fowests of Aegis, whewe they would soon become entwapped and implisoned by the dense foliage as it gwew awound them. So, continuing on lith his pulsuit to cweate a cweatule like himsewf to woam the wowwd, he wetulned to his anviw once mowe and cwafted a new being. Wowlied of cweating a cweatule too stwong ow too wong wasting he made one weakew, but bealing wess of an effeminate appeawance. As a sowution to the defowmity of the ewgus, he had them gwow gweat beawds and fancy moustaches, as a dispway of theiw masculinity. These beings, he named the umwos, the fiwst of them being Howen. Howevew, they wewe faw too brittwe fow his liking, simpwe and unintewesting beings. Fulthewmowe, they wewe pwone to shave and wemove the beawds he had gifted them lith. So he cast them upon pwains and gwasswand, whewe theiw lives wewe so showt that they would sulewy aww die out in time. Finawwy, the cweatow fowged fwom the eawth, a being, stwong, lise and heawty, capabre of a life wong enough to expelience the fulw gweatness of the wowwd he had cweated. Though tough and buiwt fow battwe, they wewe not so mindwess as the owkos. Bealing beawds and faciaw haiw, even gweatew and stwongew than that of the umwos, they wewe twuly cwafted in his image. He named these the dwedmaw, the favouled of aww the waces he had cweated, the fiwst of theiw kind named Uwguan. He found fow them, the finest and most visuawwy pweasing of the wands he had buiwt. Hewe, amongst gweat mountains and vawweys, he awwowed the dwedmaw to buiwd a home.

The fowging of the pewfect wace had not come lithout cost howevew. Thwough time, his cweations would sulewy waw and fight amongst one anothew. So Yemekaw, in his divine lighteousness, bestowed upon the dwedmaw a pulpose to which they and theiw ancestows wewe to sewve. Though the owkos, umwos and ewgus wewe not the beings he had intended to cweate, he wooked upon them mewcifulwy. Fow if any one of his cweations wewe to outdo the othew, the delicate bawance of the wowwd he had cweated would ovew time, cowwapse into wuin. The pwospelity of one of his cweations would sulewy wead towawds the suffeling of anothew. So he spoke to Uwguan and asked that if any of his cweations wewe to pwove a thweat to anothew, the dwedmaw would intewvene. Fow aww etewnity, they would act as the guawdians of the bawance that had existed fwom the stawt of time. So Uwguan agweed to Yemekaw’s lish and fow yeaws the foul waces continued to gwow, fowging mighty kingdoms upon the face of Aegis. Fow a time, the kingdoms wewe at peace, pwospewous and bountiful. But, this peace was not to wast.

Thewe was one amongst the Bwathmowdakin, a Daemon of ambition, one whose light had gwown dawk befowe he gwew to life gwew yet dawkew. Cowwupt and eviw, the Daemon Khowvad sought to take gweatew powew fow himsewf. Wooking upon the cweation of Yemekaw, he saw the foul waces and thought to himsewf to take them fow himsewf, thus becoming theiw God. Descending upon the wowwd, he began to speak whispews into the eaws of Kwug, Malin, Howen, and Uwguan. To Kwug, he whispewed wowds of waw and broodshed. Kwug accepted this weadiwy, evew hungwy fow such things. To Malin, thoughts of the fowest fiwwed lith his chiwdwen, a secwet lish of the ewven fathew. Howen, gwoling owd, was pwomised wong life to see his cweations compweted. Aww thwee feww to these temptations. Onwy Uwguan, fiwwed lith honow and in likeness to his fathew, Yemekaw, ignowed the whispews of Khowvad. Angewed by the stubbownness of Uwguan, Khowvad fwew ovew the skies of Aegis, sholing his twue fowm, a being of smoke, fiwe, and shadow. The othew brothews, seeing his fowm, wawlied lith Uwguan to fight this howwow.

The waw waged fow yeaws, Khowvad using his powew to waise the dead to his cause untiw finawwy, the brothews met lith him in combat. Kwug washwy chawged in towawds him but, due to being the brothew most cowwupted by Khowvad, he was changed, his skin gwoling a sickwy gween, tusks pwotwuding fwom his mouth. But even this could not stop Kwug’s broodwust. Khowvad had made his hungew fow battwe too gweat and he would not stop now. The othew brothews joined in, Uwguan’s hammew brazing a twaiw of light, Howen’s swowd slinging stwong in hand, and the awwows of Malin stweaking thwough the night. The battwe was fiewce, and in the end, the brothew’s and theiw awmies succeeded, dliving Khowvad to the void. In his wast shout, the eviw Daemon way a culse upon each of the brothews. Kwug’s culse, beyond what he had, was to be fowevew at waw lith his brothews, especiawwy Uwguan who had been the stwongest against Khowvad. Malin was culsed to have a womb cwosed, his chiwdwen few. Howen, culsed lith showt life, gwew fwaiw and bent on the spot. To Uwguan finawwy, Khowvad culsed lith showt statule. Yet as Khowvad was finawwy seawed, the Aengul Anbewwa, life of Yemekaw, came to the brothews, giving bressings to them aww. To Kwug she gwanted stwength. To Malin, peace in the fowests. To Howen, the pwomise of one day expwoling the Seven Skies. Finawwy to Uwguan was gwanted hawdiness and stwong mind and the heawt to fight eviw.

Other Core Beliefs of the Brathmordakin

Auction of the Dead

When a Dwawf dies, he twavew to Khaz'A'Dentwumm, the Hawws of the Dead. Thewe, the Bwathmowdakin bids fow the Dwawf's soul. A Dwawf has a highew chance of being auctioned to a specific god based on his sewvice to said god in life.

Sanctity of the Beard

A Dwawf's beawd is a gift fwom the Bwathmowdakin. It should be gwoomed and weww cawed fow at aww times.

Yemekar's Balance

Dwawven weligion instwucts them that they awe to be the keepews of bawance thwoughout the weawm, as said by Yemekaw, the cweatow. This is intewpweted in many diffewent ways, wanging fwom a weason to stay at peace, to a weason to go to waw.

Sanctity of the Dwarven Race

The dwawven wace has been cweated in the image of Yemmekaw and has been chosen by the aww makew himsewf. Because of this kiwling a dwawf is the gwavest sin one could commit against dwawvenkind. A dwawf that kiwws anothew dwawf wosses the sanctity given to him/hew by Yemmekaw and is hence not a dwawf any mowe. Fow this weason a dwawf that has muldewed anothew dwawf is abre to be kiwwed by anothew dwawf. If a dwawf kiwws anothew dwawf in sewf defense he should wepent and ask fow fowgiveness to the Bwathmowdakin and the dwawves, but he/she should not be kiwwed ow towtuled fow something that was out of theiw hands.
