This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable. |
The Sun is a floating ball of flame that comes out during the day. It is spherical, luminous, and travels through the sky starting every dawn, for reasons no one knows. The sun makes things bright and hot and can be considered a menace, but while the sun is not a friend to Dwarves, it is nonetheless the enemy of things far scarier.
The light of the sun is required for the farming of surface plants such as sun berries. Dwarves who spend too much time in the sun will get used to it and start living on the dirt like an elf. True dwarves avoid the sun if they can, since exposure to the harsh rays can cause awful vomiting to one who rightly embraces the stone.
Engravers often draw pictures of the sun for a variety of reasons. The Sun can be useful for telling time; in fact, most days begin at "sunrise" and end at "sunset," after which night begins.
One day, the Dwarves will succeed in surrounding the sun with gemstone windows before learning to weaponize it. The Age of Dwarves will soon follow.
