Moradin, the Allhammer

God of Creation

Description

Moradin is the god of creation and patron of artisans. He carved the mountains from the primordial earth and is the guardian and protector of the hearth and the family. Dwarves from all walks of life follow him as well as various craftsmen, especially miners and smiths. He is also worshiped by those looking to make a lasting legacy in the world, whether it be through great works or great deeds.
Following his tenets, Moradin desires the people of Albion to strive for the highest standards of loyalty and fortitude. This can be demonstrated through something as complex as attempting to create something great and lasting or as simple as supporting their family. Moradin would also see his followers meet more aggressive adversity with a similar attitude, pushing back against any who would seek to destroy what his followers wish to endure.

Tenets of The Allhammer

• Demonstrate loyalty to your family, your clan, your leaders, and your people.
• Strive to make a mark on the world, a lasting legacy. To make something that lasts is the highest good, whether you are a smith working at a forge or a ruler building a dynasty.

Holidays

Maker's Day

Mordies 28th Frostform
A holiday started by dwarven artisans who follow Moradin, the Allhammer, which quickly became adopted across all of Concordia, Maker's Day is an event where people create things for their friends and families and gift them to each other. These gifts vary wildly in the different regions of Concordia, but can range from personalised wooden figurines and bespoke clothing to magic items. The purpose of the event is to show love and loyalty to the gift's receiver and develop and strong sense of community, in keeping with the tenets of The Allhammer.

History

The Prime Millenia

During the birth of Albion, Moradin worked closely alongside to shape the world, forming its deepest trenches and tallest mountains. The pair also brought forth the first sentient life to the world, with Moradin bringing forth the dwarven races and introducing them to their mountain halls.

The Age of Ascension

To Be Confirmed.
During The Aspect Wars, Moradin and his followers often came to blows with worshipers of Torog, who had carved his domain of The Underdark close to some of the greatest homes of the dwarves.

The Post-Aspect Era (The Era of Restoration)

Since the end of The Aspect Wars, Moradin has rallied his followers towards the goal of enduring. Much he held dear was lost during the previous age and Moradin now seeks for what remains to be preserved and protected. He also desires his followers to go out into the world and make new marks on the world in whatever way they are able, creating new legacies to replace those which were lost.
