The Maker's Doll

For a very long time, Dwarves have been making weapons, supplying humans with their silly wars that continued for generations. But as time went by, science and technology progressed, wars cooled down, and melee weapons weren’t the fad anymore. They lost their sole source of income and paired with the dwindling resources, they had no choice but to come out of hiding and head to the cities to find jobs. Some became construction workers, making intricate buildings that would have been impossible with just the human hands alone. Then there’s Blunt who went to the city to pursue his doll-making career, making hyper realistic dolls. And with his hands he created the first sentient doll to ever exist. He named her Cog. And she is the protagonist of this story.
