Zwerge

Zwerge were the builders of the world but started as the Maden Gift (maggot venom). It wasn't till they ate the dead carcass of the demigod Ymir did they understand reason, and acquire knowledge. In their legend it was said that Schmied the god of smiths, labor and creation found them carelessly playing in the corpse of Ymir. Schmied took them in and taught them mining, smelting, crafting. Even with though they were respected among their peers without judgment the Zwerge still felt undermined. The Orion the Zwerge left them deformed at best. Wide eyed creatures allowed them to see in the dark. Unable to grow hair the Zwerge built armor with varies animal hairs inlaid to mimic real hair even going to extremes of having them decerated. It was under heard of to see a Zwerge outside of this armor.
