Legends

Fjornir-Dwed (Four Dwarves)

The legend of the Fjornir-Dwed (Four Dwarves in Common) is a Dwarven myth about four siblings who leave home to pursue separate lives. One becomes a blacksmith who forges in fire, one becomes a wizard who wields ice magic, one becomes a healer who protects life, and one becomes a thief who steals in the dark. Many years later their place of birth is attacked by a demon, and the siblings must return home to fight it. Only when they are reunited are the Four Dwarves strong enough to defeat the evil demon. The legend of the Fjornir-Dwed is told to Dwarven children to teach them the importance of unity, and fidelity to family and Dwarven culture.

The Crew of the Ebon Hawk solved a puzzle based around the legend of the Fjonir-Dwed on the Grey Reef, and were rewarded with an idol, and Tryx’s hammer, Mjolnir.

Remington Farnsworth posits that the translation of the Fjornir-Dwed is a mistranslation. He argues that "demon" should be "calamity" and that "life" should be "nature." His research suggests that the parable is actually a warning on how to prevent an actual event.
