It's great :).

The only thing I would change is the line "High above the plains of
Adonthell rise the mountains." 

Even though Adonthell is a sacred place of old, I doubt that theDwarves
came into being on a small island. Might be better to chose a place on
the mainland. Feel free to make one up.


It would also be interesting to know whether the myth has any influences
on todays dwarves. I don't imagine them to be religious people, but I
think they'd pay great attention to tradition and rituals (rite of
passage, burying ceremonies ...). While the text as such is already very
interesting, its consequences for the game (locations, items, dialogue,
quests) are of great importance. So if you've got any ideas in that
direction as well, lets hear them please :).
