The Mythic Forges

==The Mythic Forges==
Most major races have legends of ancient artifacts that make those worthy few into heros of legend.  These artifacts are collectively known as The Mythic Forges. 
 
When this world was made it was woven from parts of each major Deity’s home plane and the Elemental planes.  This made it every Deity’s domain and therefore no Deity’s domain.  By mutual agreement none may come down directly to influence this world.
==Dwarf Legend ==
The Dwarven Deity Torag  wanted his people to be able to call on his power with more than just spells from his faithful in times of great need.  For this purpose he created the first Mythic Forge,  he choose the form of The Red Anvil.  The First dwarf clan took the name Red Anvil and nearly every dwarven king has been of the Red Anvil clan since then.  To be found worthy, one must only pray to Torag with the current king and Torag’s high priest while they attempt to craft something on The Red Anvil.  If the item should shatter on The Red Anvil, they are found unworthy but if they should be successful in their endeavor they will have created a thing of beauty and walk away imbued with mythical power that grows by need as they grow.
==Elven Legend==
The Elven Deity Corellon Larethain(D&D) soon followed suit with the second Mythic Forge, A silvered living steal dagger that can transform into a long sword or great sword for a martial hero found worthy.  He named it Tamin-Der (Tamin-Dear), it means to forge a soul.  To be found worthy, one must sing praise to  Corellon and the Seldarine (elf pantheon) in chorus with elven elders and a high priest of Corellon whilst in the presence of the dagger.  If they are found worthy the dagger will float their hand, they are then imbued with mythic power that grows with them by need.
