The Myths Just Keep Coming

This story is part of the same myth sequence as Lighting Up The Night. It tells the story of Hurin’s creation of the dwarves. Enjoy.
Steel Forged Souls
One day, Hurin became weary of his one room workshop deep in the earth. He decided to carve himself a true home. The god of earth and stone expanded tunnels into rooms. He created galleries of statues of fantastic beings, both real and imagined. Vast bas-reliefs covered the walls; each one a magnificent scene of nature or the heavens. Twenty bedrooms graced the first floor alone. The festhall could hold a hundred. The kitchen could feed that and more.
