The idea I have right now is that he [i] is[/i] the shaper of mountains, but he no longer posesses the power to do so. By bringing it this way he has flaws, being not all great and powerfull. He is reawakening not a the shaper, but as the god of mining and gems, gold and pickaxes.
[b]Mines[/b] that's what the torch is for, but I get your argument, and I will consider.

mountain rams don't live inside of mountains, they don't LOVE gems.. So I thought about it, but figured that a dragon is more spot-on.

The older god part... I'll take it out, I did not realize that all were there at the start :3
