Talk:Great Dwarf

Great Dwarf = Balthasar ?

 * Interesting guess. I can't wait to find out if he will indeed be an actual entity, or an abstraction of something. In any case, to fight another deity (read Great Destroyer) in GW:EN isn't exactly what I'll call innovation anymore. Kenn 13:05, 7 Jul 2007
 * Judging from a curse said by one of the dwarves in GW:EN (Budger Blackpowder I believe, in Heart of the Shiverpeaks), "[sic] By the foul breath of Balthazar...", I believe that the Great Dwarf is indeed not Balthazar. I'm thinking he's more equivalent to Hephaestos/Vulcan in Greco-Roman mythos, or Aulë in J.R.R Tolkien's mythos. This last example would make the most sense, as not only did Aulë have a role as a sort of smith, but he also created the dwarves. 139.147.159.223 10:13, 10 September 2007 (CDT)
