The artefact called the Crystal of Fire was given to the Dwarf Ancestor God Grimnir, the god of war, by the High Elf Archmage Caledor Dragontamer as a sign of respect between the two Elder Races after they first met on the shores of the Old World and collaborated to defeat a Beastmen attack. The Crystal of Fire was a gift given to Grimnir in return for the Dwarfs' presentation of the protective rune amulet Bagdelredner to Caledor.[1a]
The Elven artefact was placed in the Great Vault of the hold of Karaz-a-Karak, where it is still kept to this day as a memento of a time when Elves and Dwarfs stood together as one against the threats to the mortal world.[1a]
