Moradin
Vigilae Moradin (a.k.a. The Soul Forger)
Confident, prideful and a barrel of laughs. That's what most would say that Moradin, also known as the Soul Forger embodies. Moradin created the Dwarven people, and as such, is their Vigilae, or Patron God. Moradin created the Dwarven people to be exactly like him, with the exception of their height. This is because Moradin is heavily self-conscious about his height and didn't want any of his creations to be taller than him.
Being gun-ho lead to the demise of Moradin. During the Uprising Wars, Moradin picked a fight with the newly ascended Ankira. The fight was long as rough, as both were expert fighters. It is unknown the outcome of the fight, but it is said that as an outcome of the fight, Moradin lost all the color in his skin with the exception of his beard and body hair.
Moradin hates being trapped in the Solar Beyond, or the Space above Aedir. This is because Moradin would frequent the Dwarven Keeps of the world, trying out their booze and partying with their inhabitants. A horrible drunk, his parents, Rovun and Adalla have persuaded him to stop drinking often, but they know it falls upon deaf ears.

Holy Books & Codes
Specifically, the only standing code regarding Moradin is the oath Dwarven Paladins make when they want to devote their lives towards becoming an Acolyte of Moradin. Listed below, most Dwarves who aspire to become Paladins, take this oath instead of a normal Oath a Paladin would take.
The Oath of Moradin is as follows: 1. "Treat thine neighbor like family, for they are your brothers and sisters in battle."
2. "The walls of your citadels are the lifeblood of the settlement and without them we would have lost our way long ago."
3. "Preserve the History and Knowledge of our forefathers. For without tradition we are none."
4. "Usher those who cannot be ushered, as we all succeed together or fail together as one."
5. "Live our life to the fullest. For we may never know when the flow of alcohol stops. Enjoy downtime, drink with those around, and pray for those that have fallen often."
6. "At the core of the forge lies our courage and our determination to set what's right. For we shall fight the good fight and vanquish those that wish to harm our lands and our family."

Divine Goals & Aspirations
Divine Goals
Moradin's only goal in life, is to try the best alcohol he can. It is something he has strived for since he was created by Adalla and Rovun. Before the time of the Solar Barrier, Moradin would travel to the farthest corners of the world in the deepest Dwarven Citadels to try their alcohol. It was seen as a rite of passage for Dwarven Citadels. As those that would have gained Moradin's approval would have been given a substantial boon. Now with the Solar Barrier up, Moradin has managed to keep in contact with the Dwarves due to their remembrance of him (this is because of their vast written history in their citadels) and tries to steer the Dwarves in the right direction towards freeing the Solar Pantheon from their confines.Church Boons

History
Moradin and Gruumsh are destined to be rivals. They've fought many times during the Uprising Wars, in which Moradin handled Gruumsh devastating loss. With this loss in hand, Gruumsh's hatred for Moradin grew exponentially, to the point where Gruumsh's Orcs took on the task by Gruumsh to exterminate the Dwarven people.
