Grandfather, why? - The Mythology Building Game

[inuyasha]

Well, young one, they say that the first of the wizards was also one you'd never expect. People always think the elves pioneered wizardly magic, but they didn't really need that. Their flexibility and intellect proved useful in other ways! No, the first Wizard was a young man, one human with a dream to look into the future. Using his magics, he managed to predict the weather perfectly, determine whether crops would grow, and eventually he progressed to more martial uses... predicting whether an attack would strike, and adjusting appropriately, divining proper battle strategies, and even figuring out how peer into the domains of gods! This human also made his dream easily understood, which is why it is so much easier to learn Divination magic than any other specialist mage.

EDIT: I got ninja'd hardcore, hold on!

Some call the Knockers, others call them mole men, and yet others still say that they're demons. Nobody's really sure what lives in the mountain, but they've proven useful thus far in warning of cave-ins and impending monster attacks, sending envoys under cover of darkness and spells. I personally think it's a small group of gnomes with a decent sense of humor and a good amount of magic behind 'em.

King of these wide realms, why do the Halflings not speak of their magical accomplishments?
