The Dwarf Norn Story: Thousands of years ago, when the Shee were starting their trek from Albia in search for a new home, Irvwoid, a Shee scentist, miscalculated his hyperspace jump and crashed on one of Albias moons. Irvwoid, like most of the Shee scientists, liked to create new Norn breeds. His latest experiments were with a certain genome that supressed the Norn's natural growth hormones to keep it at a small size. Irvwoid was devestated to find that the cargo pod carring his supply of tea had been ruptured on the rocky moon. Preoccupied with collecting spilt tea-bags, Irvwiod failed to notice that one of his ships two terrarium pods had suffered severe damage. By the time he had rescued his tea, and the rescue team arrived, almost all his experimental species had escaped. He tried to re-capture them all, but it was no use:

    "Yes, it was a mistake to overlook something harder to re-gain than a few thousand scattered tea-bags. Although many of my Short Norns have been re-captured, I will have to leave the rest on this world. I guess I am glad that after two months of waiting for my ship to heal I will finally be leaving this moon, but I am troubled by the fact that I will be leaving many Short Norns behind to fend for themselves. May they enjoy whatever tea I was unable to find." - From the journal of Duntenqire Irvwoid

Not long after Irvwoid left, he changed the breed name from Short Norn to Dwarf Norn, for "Short Norn was rather dull." Pretty soon generations had passed, and the abandoned Norn's genetics stabalized, no longer with random outbursts otf height differences. They had definately become the Dwarf Norns.
