The Ngwànglongweiyinoy of Yokinzei

The Igai people, who live on the boundry of the Ere desert, are famed throughout Lwoid for their glass, it is one of the most sought after luxury goods for the Wàdoṇe. As such there are many stories about glass and glassmakers from the Igai, the most famous of which tells the story of how the Igai first made glass and how they became so skilled at it.

Yokinzei, the god of glasswork, taught the Igai how to make glass by taking sand from the Ere desert and eating it then blowing the molten glass from their mouth to made glass crockery and decorations but the Igai weren't able to make the glass as well as Yokinzei as the temperature of their furnaces wasn't as hot as the heat produced from Yokinzei's heart. So one day a man called Eiwgyishki tricked Yokinzei and stole their heart, called the Ngwànglongweiyinoy, to share with the Igai so they could make glass properly.The hart burned his hands but he brought it all the way back to the Igai. The Igai glassmakers were astounded by the beautiy and heat of the heart and it was shared between the different masters and each developed their own style from studying the heart. Yokinzei was enraged by this and stopped all glass from being made until their heart was returned, so the leaders of the Igai tasked Eiwgyishki with returning the heart, where, as he was about to put the heart in the Tshizwuyai of Yokinzei to return it to them, he slipped causing the heart to shatter on the floor with only a sliver of the fire contained within it reaching the Tshizwuyai. To keep Yokinzei alive and allow glass to be made without their heart a fire must be sustained at their Tshizwuyai.
