Editing Epic of Stonebirth (section)

== Legitimacy & Authenticity ==
While the skaldsong itself is thousands of years old and largely untouched or changed, it is regarded as myth and legend, rather than historical fact. Knowledge of the creation of Avo is generally known via scholars and sages, though the specifics of how the titans made each and every living thing aren't, something some dwarven scholars use as evidence that the Epic of Stonebirth could be true, or at least an allegory to how the dwarves were made by the titans. It is agreed upon that the limit of "born" clan members to 101 is myth, used by Ferdurg to explain why dwarves aren't all still born out of metal and stone to this day.

All of the original dwarven clans existed, and some dwarves still hold their clan names to this day. Brassborn and Bronzeborn, in particular, are still widely known in Valwyr and Phynsia, while the secretive Platinumborn clan still resides underneath the Teeth in Kalempha, mining and minting platinum coin for the Vysavith Syndicate. Stoneborn is also a common dwarven name seen all throughout Avo, though many clanless dwarves adopt the name, so it's hard to tell who is truly a descendant or not. Most of the other clans have died out, merging with other clans and creating new clan names and titles.
