Dwarf

"As the world of Yeshilan was born and mortals created to fill the land, Ordunnin set his mind to fashion living creations of his own. From the four highest peaks he took the elements that would form his children, and on each mountain he placed them. Of Gold he formed the beautiful Arumel, and gave them rule over the majestic Masduulaagii. From Silver he made the wise Silberner, and set them to care for the Hunderhas peaks. Out of Copper he shaped the Kupfer, sturdy and strong for life in the Ornzar mountains. And of coal he created the Kohle, bold and brave enough to guard the darkest depths. Thus his children were brought into the world, and Ordunnin became the Father of Dwarves."
