* A related conjecture proposes that if time is cyclical, the last anvil could be the first anvil. This could also explain the first hammer, the first dwarf, etc. however no evidence has yet been provided in support of this hypothesis. | * A related conjecture proposes that if time is cyclical, the last anvil could be the first anvil.

* The first anvil was given as a gift from the god of smithing. Engraved with the secrets of mineralogy and metalworking, it taught dwarves everything they know of finding, smelting and shaping metals. There is considerable theological debate going on over WHICH god of smithing was responsible. Some believe that such an outpouring of information could only have been a collaborative effort by all gods of smithing. | * The first anvil was given as a gift from the god of smithing.

− | * The first anvil | + | * The first anvil is the only remnant of the previous kalpa. Every time Armok the World Eater unmakes the universe, He leaves one anvil behind. The dwarves inevitably find it and use it to make more anvils, one of which is carried over to the next world, completing the cycle. |
* It is unknown at this time how [[Main:Armok|Armok]]'s Anvil of Creation was forged. When questioned by a particularly suicidal dwarf on the subject, he grew very grumpy and quickly unmade that universe. | * It is unknown at this time how [[Main:Armok|Armok]]'s Anvil of Creation was forged.

* Dwarves did not create the anvil. Rather, the anvil created the dwarves. A naked, starving primitive protodwarf discovers a naturally-occurring anvil. Its mind roars with vision of prosperity. This is the beginning of civilisation. This leads to the conclusion that the existence of dwarf civilization is a method of anvil reproduction. Urist McDawkins penned the book, "The Selfish Anvil," on this topic. | * Dwarves did not create the anvil. Rather, the anvil created the dwarves.
