Clangeddin Silverbeard, (pronounced: KLÆNG-e-din), was the dwarven deity of battle and honour in warfare. He was known as the
Father of Battle and the
Lord of the Twin Axes. His holy symbol was two crossed battleaxes. He delighted in battle, although he did not tolerate treachery or deceit, and he expected his followers to do the same. He and his followers hated giants and trained their fellow
DWARVES in special ways to fight them. The domains associated with him were: Dwarf, Good, Law, Strength, and War, and his favored weapon was the battleaxe. He was also a lawful good exarch of
MORADIN.
Following:
Clangeddin's clerics, known as
alaghor ("Those who demonstrate valor in battle") taught and learnt the art of forging armour and weapons, and practiced military training each day. Though they sought to make their dwarven brethren stronger on the battlefield through their teachings, followers of Clangeddin were often viewed as little more than bloodthirsty barbarians among other races. Clangeddin's priests wore silver war helms and chain mail. He was worshiped before and during battle and weapons were sacrificed to him in honor.
