Four beings of Toril appear to be engaged in spirited, spiritual conversation. Half of this group is composed of a pair of Dwarves, one clad all in silvery war-plate with rune-adorned targe shield held loosely against his left arm and his mithril warhelm open to reveal a ruddy complexion dominated by a dark "porter" colored beard braided intricately into a mithril ring adorned with Dethek runes. The other is a Dwarven shield-maiden in blood-colored armor with braided hair the color of a mountain sunset. She chuckles good-naturedly, one hand resting on the fantastically-made hilt of a scabbarded "bastard" sword,a greatshield with a cross-design slung easily over her back. Across the road is a white-tressed human woman of incomparable beauty, ruby red lips sparkle against skin like a late winter's morn.She wears robes of white with red accouterments here and there. Her companion is a handsome blond lad of some twenty-six winters who carries himself with a confident, friendly manner.His armor is a ruby-red scale hauberk and plate for his arms and legs with inlaid gold trim. He wears a crimson cloak of fine tailoring.
The Dwarf is in the midst of speaking. "Aye...such is similar t'Clangeddin's teachin's. Which isn't surprisin';I'm sure Clangeddin taught Tempus, Arvoreen, and Flandal Steelskin all 'ow to fight.Not t'mention even Corellon."
The blond man's expression reveals amusement at this notion.
"How else was 'e goin' t'take th'eye 've the Orcish god?" The Dwarf continues.
The lovely human woman replies "I think Tempuss wass here before your God! No?" Her speech has a hissing quality to it, elongating her 's' sounds.
"Nay," replies the stalwart male Dwarf "Not at all."
The woman proclaims "Hey! you steal the glory of my lord!"
The Dwarf continues without missing a beat, "Since Moradin created Toril."
The ruby-tressed female Dwarf chuckles and says "This should be interestin'."
As if to placate the woman, the male Dwarf says "Nay!Tempus is a fine Laird. But Clangeddin came first." He says, with a sage nod.
The lovely human woman replies, with a scratch of her head"Eh? I think Tempusss came first, and Clangeddin stood after him!"
"Eh, well, I'll not disavow your views." The Dwarf replies, stroking his beard.
The group make way for a warded figure who politely bids they pardon him, and then continue their debate.
The shield-maiden asks of the human woman, "Nyx, who does Tempus say created da world?"
"Tha's a good query." the male Dwarf states.
The woman called Nyx states simply "Ao."
The female Dwarf has been smirking this whole time.
"Och th'overgod," replies the male Dwarf.
At this point the handsome blond lad speaks "We mortals cannot ascertain the nature of the gods...to attempt it is folly...not to mention arrogant."
The female Dwarf now asks, "Ao? Da forgotten god?"
With a slight grunt the male Dwarf says,"Oi oi!Nayun's tryin'a ascertain their nature lad!"
Thoughtfully, the white-haired woman replies to the female Dwarf, "I think so..Have to check my bookss again."
Pondering, the silver-armored Stout says "But ye know...this is what I was taught as a beardling...that Ao created Moradin first, and liked 'im so much 'e 'ad 'im create Toril."
Calmly, the blond man replies with "To understand when or how a god was created...one has to understand its nature...I do not think one can understand the beginning of something unknowable."
The female Dwarven warrior simply smirks, appearing to enjoying the religious talk.
The uncommonly beautiful human woman says "I think Ao created the two sisterss, they fought for aeaonss till Tempusss came and stood as a God of Battlesss,and all the otherss followed."
The male Dwarf gives his beard another thoughtful stroke and says, "Hrn...interestin' mythology.'Course we Dwarves know differently."
The woman looks squarely at him and asks, "What do the dwarvess know?"
The brown-bearded Dwarf states with what sounds like learned authority, "Moradin came first ,then Berronar Truesilver, and then th'Morndinsamman. Who did then create us...th'Sammanfolk.After that came th'elves and others and then eventually mannish gods, and all th'rest,and all th'Folk."
"Didn't Tempus defeat the old god of war in battle? And he keeps it around as a servant now?" The blond man ponders.
The human woman says "Eh maybe all have it right."
A caravan pulls up, a load of people debarking. A cloaked and hooded Hin steps off and eyes the Dwarves.
The male Dwarf notices and nods to him, "Hail, earthkin.Say, why don't ye tell us 'ow Hins came t'be created?We're discussin' religion."
From within the hood comes the reply,"Bah religion all it be is a headache. Any of ye happen ta know a good smithy?"
The silver-armored Dwarf replies "Sometimes, though only when folk're not willin' t'be educated."
The group continues to discuss their very different religious views.
