Cairne The Gift of the Hammer

The Gift of the Hammer

Religious event

2851AR

Zevrhan's second creations, the gnomes, while smaller and less tenacious than their dwarven kin, were quick of wit and deft of hand, and he saw in them their potential for the more delicate and precise crafts. To them he gifted the hammer, and the skill to shape gems and metals into fine works of art.


Wanting to give his people balance, the gnomes of Zevrhan's design were brought forth as a more precise aspect of life, and in them he found a great deal of admiration for their sharp intelligence and crafty demeanor. To them he granted unsurpassed skill in stone and gem cutting, and fine detailed metal crafting, imbuing them with the ability to shape fine stones and precious metals, as well as the uncanny ability to sense them in the ground where they were hidden. Though not nearly as strong or tenacious as their cousins, their minds and skills complimented them in fine fashion, and allowed for a mutually beneficial society of the two species.
