Myths and Legends
According to dwarven myth, Dumathoin hides the treasures of the earth until dwarves are worthy of finding them. He lays veins of precious minerals where he feels his followers will benefit from them the most, and guides the worthy to them. Some dwarven myths claim that the veins of precious metals beneath the earth are hairs of Dumathoin's beard.

“Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
“... suffering does not ennoble. It destroys. To resist destruction, self-hatred, or lifelong hopelessness, we have to throw off the conditioning of being despised, the fear of becoming the they that is talked about so dismissively, to refuse lying myths and easy moralities, to see ourselves as human, flawed, and extraordinary. All of us—extraordinary.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
