Dwarven mythology encompasses the rich traditions and beliefs of the Dwarven race, often depicted in fantasy literature and games. Central to their mythology are tales of creation, where Dwarves are typically said to have been forged from stone or metal by a god, such as Moradin, the chief deity in many Dwarven pantheons. These stories emphasize their connection to the earth and craftsmanship. Another key aspect of Dwarven mythology is the reverence for ancestors and the afterlife. Dwarves believe in honoring their forebears through rituals and storytelling, ensuring that their legacy endures. The concept of the Dwarven afterlife often includes a grand hall where fallen warriors feast and celebrate, reflecting their values of bravery and loyalty.
