Abbathor

Great Master of Greed, Trove Lord, Wyrm of Avarice, The Avaricious

He is the glimmer in the gold miner’s eye, the pang of greed in a merchant’s heart, and the drive of the thief to take the risk. Abbathorian worship revolves around the accumulation of wealth (although not at the expense of dwarves), and either hiding it away, or sacrificing it to The Trove Lord himself. Worshippers of Abbathor are not vocal in their practice, and keep their holy symbols hidden, as it is an offense to the Grand Master of Greed to invoke his name openly.
Rather than following a strict calendar, Abbathorian holy days fall on solar eclipses and volcanic eruptions, celebrating any time the sky is darkened and enshrouding shadows let creep. Once a year, the clergy sacrifices an enemy of the dwarves, such as an orc or a giant. Devotees of Abbathor fill the corpse’s opened ribcage with gold and jewels, before it is set alight, in an act known as “buying grace”.
Shrines to Abbathor are often tucked behind false rock walls or in the back of bear caves, hiding away the glorious splendor of their bejeweled altars.
Abbathor is well known to inspire greed in the hearts of dwarves, humans, halflings, and gnomes alike. The primary dogma teaches that one does not steal from the dwarven people, nor conspire against fellow worshippers of Abbathor in one's pursuit of enrichment. Some non-dwarven Abbathori may question if they are held to the same restrictions, and answers from an almost entirely dwarven clergy may be taken with a grain of salt. It is important to remember that Abbathor wanted to be a protector of dwarves before the role was given to someone else, and any slight against his chosen people will be seen as a slight against Abbathor.
