Steynarr

Steynarr the Creator, god of fire and creation. Steynarr is amongst the oldest of the gods, having left the void mere millennia after Fjorr, Ocea and Raten. They offered him godhood after he gave each of them an amazing gift: a spear to Fjorr, a trident to Ocea and a scythe to Raten.

His physical appearance is that of a giant man, with bronzed skin, hair of fire and eyes that glow like two suns.

After some time in the burning mountains Steynarr got bored of living alone and having no one to share his knowledge with. Therefore he travelled north into the Silver hills and created his own apprentices from stone, clay and iron. He infused his creations with his magic and thus the first dwarves emerged from the mountains, free to hone their own craft.

When Steynarr had taught the dwarves all he knew, he decided it was time to move on and travelled westwards, eventually settling by the north-western shore in what today is Nacosta, and built another forge. However, lacking the access to the same fires as those of the mountains back east, this forge was not as sturdy and shattered, spilling his creations onto the earth, where they sunk. Feeling defeated Steynarr returned to the burning mountains, where he has largely remained since. What he did not know was that in the smouldering remains of the forge a new, magical creature was born. Emerging from the mud came the gnomes and though he had not intended to create them, Steynarr was happy to have more apprentices he could teach his skills to. Since the dwarves had been taught smiting, Steynarr chose to teach the gnomes the art of engineering and what magic he knew.
