What Are the Celestial Lamps? (CBD)

__TOC__
Dwarves may have been created underground, but sooner or later they emerged into the world above. At that point they wondered about the lights moving in the sky, and what the sun was. The dwarves compared these celestial bodies to fire beetles or bright gems rather than natural phenomena. Narvil's scrolls equate the sun with the blazing flames shooting from the chimney of the Great Forge.
: After their arguments, the Lesser Gods grew weary and slept. The Creator, bound and tied, remained vigilant. Through the night he watched the Great Forge slowly cool. When the flames were almost extinguished, and all was dark, he blew on the embers to light the fire. Red embers and fresh flames blew up the chimney of the forge and created the First Dawn.
The heavens are interpreted differently by Or-Kazil, the gem-master and mystic who caught the light of the sun and placed it in the gems of Arbir. On the stone of his hall is an inscription. The difficult text is a masterpiece of dwarven poetry.
: Fear is the sun. The light. Carried by the watchman in daily traverse.
: Great is the light of his torch. It conceals his presence.
: Fear is the moon. Its ghostly light. Gray scarred surface, a spoiled gem.
: Bring me a jewel from the night sky. One that twinkles in the watchman's light as he walks behind the world.
: Set it upon my tomb.
