History

When the two dwarven races diverged, the Korrigans travelled to the westernmost taiga of Ecíos. Over the course of their journey, they found themselves in need of aid, calling out to the Ðíos, Tař'Ívē replied, giving them the strength and will to continue through the harsh cold of the ice bridge between Kvenland and Ecíos. Following the way of their new patron Deity, Tař'Ívē, they named themselves "children of the garden", starting their new lives as cultivators and caretakers of all greenery. Over time they learnt to grow towns and cities from the trees, guiding them into homely shapes and pathways.
