This I, Davin, son of Orin, prince and historian of the House Dagar,
write of the history of our world...
When all things began, the Creator populated our world with the race
of men. The Creator also made four beings with a limited share of his
power. These beings were intended to be stewards of His creations. The
stewards, however, were not immortal. As they neared the end of their
lives, they took measures to prevent the Creator's power from being lost.
They created the elves, with the hope that this new race could master
the use of magic, but the elves proved too weak. They then created the
giants, but the giants proved to be far too strong and greatly lacking
in wisdom. They created the dwarves, but we too were weak. In the end,
one of the stewards realized that just as the stewards were weaker than
their Creator, so too would any new race be weaker than the stewards.
They resolved to introduce magic into the race of men, this time successfully.
To this day, wizards and mages possess that gift of magic given to them
so long ago.
But we concern ourselves now with neither men nor elves nor giants. Now
is the time to learn of the fourth race--the dwarves--for this is their
language.
