The Church Of The Anointed Hammer is the main religious group devoted to the worship of the Smith. Robes are colored orange and grey but are rarely worn. Most church members are blacksmiths, crafters, and artisans and usually wear clothing appropriate to their profession rather than formal robes. The colors represent the Fire of the Forge, and the Metal when it is finished. Initiates into the church are referred to as "Wrights," full members are known as 'Journeymen," and senior members are called, "Masters." These are religious ranks and do not necessarily speak to members' skill level within their profession. Paladins of the Church are given the title of "Hammer." The typical blessing given by followers of the Smith is, "May the heat of the forge temper you and make you stronger."Temples
Temples to the Smith can be found in most major cities and sporadically in smaller towns. Temples tend to be large complexes designed to house forges, kilns, laboratories, and other workspaces for crafters and artisans of all kinds. In smaller communities where it would be impractical to operate such large temples, local artisans will often build small shrines to the Smith in their homes or shops.Dogma
