Dwarf (Dvergr)
The Dvergr, or Norse dwarf, is a master craftsman and smith from the underground realm of Svartalfheim or Nidavellir in Norse mythology. These ancient beings were originally maggots that emerged from the decaying flesh of the primordial giant Ymir, later transformed by the gods into humanoid form with great intelligence and skill. Dwarves are renowned across the nine realms for their unparalleled metalwork and magical craftsmanship, having forged the most powerful artifacts in Norse myth including Thor hammer Mjolnir, Odin spear Gungnir, the golden boar Gullinbursti, the magical ring Draupnir,
