Dholloumora

Deity of Gemstones

According to legends of creation that speak of the time before First War, Dholloumora quietly enjoyed the making of beautiful things, but had not the power to overcome the transience of being. Before the outbreak of War, U'Dur partnered with Dholloumora, granting access to the great swathes of the Material Plane under their watch as a seeding bed for beauty to rival the flora and fauna of the wilds. Through this, gemstones were seeded throughout the bones of the world.
Dholloumora is often referred to as the patron of the dwarven people, having partnered with U'Dur to create them.

Dholloumora's Divine Creation

Some theologians propose that the seeding of gemstones itself was the Divine Creation of Dholloumora's ascension, given the lack of an agreed artefact fitting the description. This seems contrary to the usual understanding of Divine Creations - although some argue it is a result of U'Dur's heavily-felt hand in Dholloumora's ascension. The more widely agreed explanation is that Dholloumora's Creation was a work of incredible majesty, that would no doubt have been coveted by both Divine and mortal hands. The item was subsequently either destroyed or stolen. Both raise questions as to the importance of a Divine Creation for the continued prosperity of a God after the act of Creation, as by Dholloumora weilds power still.
