The Dwarves Religion and Mythology | World of Eragon Lore

My name is Will of the Lore. Welcome to our exploration of the rich and intriguing Dwarven mythology in The Inheritance Cycle. Much like the stories and gods of ancient human cultures in our own world, many of the Dwarves of Alagazia hold fantastical beliefs to explain the origins of the world around them. Please sit back and enjoy the Dwarven creation story. In the beginning, a legendary entity known as the She-Wolf gave birth to the immortal Gunthera, who would come to serve as king of the Dwarven deities. Kilph, the goddess of the rivers and the sea, who became Gunthera's mate. Helsvog, the god of stone, Sindri, the goddess of the earth, Orur, the god of air and the heavens, and his brother Morgothal, the god of fire and smithing. The scriptures speak of an ancient and terrible war waged between the gods and a race of formidable giants. When the dust of this divine conflict settled, the gods had prevailed. With their enemies defeated, Gunthera formed the bones of a fallen giant into the land we now know as Alagazia. For this deed, Gunthera was hailed with great praise by the other gods, but it was Helsvog alone who desired to return life to the cosmos. Helsvog brought his proposal to Gunthera and the rest of his siblings, but they refused his request. Undeterred, brave Helsvog was resolved. In secret, he fashioned the first dwarf from his element, stone, the very roots of the mountains. The other gods were envious when they discovered his deed, but rather than destroy Helsvog's work, they decided to unleash their own visions of life upon Alagazia. Gunthera brought the elves into being to maintain his control over the land. Sindri lifted the humans from the very soil. The brothers Morgothal and Orur combined their knowledge and power to create the dragons, who would become the dwarves' oldest rivals in their new homeland. It was only Kilph who abstained. And so it was that the first sentient species entered the world. These myths and legends still have an impact on how many dwarves live and worship day-to-day. In this upcoming series of videos, we will dive into the culture, practices, and lifestyle of the dwarves of Alagazia.
