The Five
These are the gods of Ymir, they are one family of gods who each made a race in their image.
Mythology & Lore
The five gods had made the world and divided it into where they saw fit. One of their number, Belenus left for some time after a fight with Alana. Each one of them made a species that resembled them, Fodum made the Dvaergs, Rororr made the Giants, Ogara made the halflings and Alana made the elves. They all lived peacefully and in harmony into one day, Belenus returned with his creation: The Mudar, or humans. They waged war on the elves and halflings and drove them nearly to extinction to live in the forest. They remained friends with the Dvaergs and uneasy friends with the Giants.
Divine Origins
