Abbathor

Abbathor is the Neutral Evil dwarven god of greed. The Great Master of Greed represents the major weakness of dwarvenkind, the treasurelust that is their worst aspect. The Trove Lord was once concerned with the natural beauty of gems, but after being denied the position he had coveted since his inception, he abandoned dwarven honor for trickery and will do whatever it takes to never be denied again.

Description

Despite his great height (by dwarven standards) appearing as a 6 feet (1.8 meters) or 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall dwarf, Abbathor is a fat, squat, and hunched figure. He seems to slither and slide as he walks and is often rubbing his hands together, though never makes much noise. He covers his sallow skin in leather armor and furs, both fashioned from the skins of that which died opposing him.

Abbathor's piggy eyes are said to be yellow-green, burning yellow when he's eager for or claiming treasure while hooded and green when scheming for it or thwarted in his attempt to get it. His nose is sharp and hooked like that of a giant eagle and it is said his voice is wheedling, harsh and husky.

Personality

Abbathor is an intensely greedy deity, desiring valuables to a degree best described as sensual. He unconsciously carresses any gold or gems he carries, seemingly overwhelmed by the sensation, and is envious of others' riches, unable to control himself at the sight of a particularly expensive item and willing to steal or slay for it on the spot. He believes in the acquisition of all forms of wealth by any and all means necessary.

Divine Realm

Abbathor's realm is that of Glitterhell, a cavern deep underground within Oinos, the first layer of The Grey Waste.

Clergy

Abbathor's priests dressed in red leather armor and leather caps They shared Abbathor's stance on what wealth was to be obtained and how (namely all of it and however possible). His holy days were on the solar eclipse and he demanded the sacrifice of both blood and gems annually.

Relationships

Abbathor's relations with his fellow dwarven deities were strained, but he was not cast out of the pantheon, and he was sometimes known to conspire with Vergadain on various schemes.
