Moradin

Moradin, the Soulforger, leads the dwarven gods. Known as Dwarf-father or All-Father, he is the god of the dwarf people as a whole, as well as the god of creation, “dwarf-crafts” (smithing and stonework), and protection. His wife is the Revered Mother, Berronar Truesilver, goddess of hearth and home, of honesty and faithfulness, and of oaths, loyalty, and honor.
The father of the dwarves crafted his children from metal and gems and imbued them with souls as he cooled them with his breath.
Moradin is the master of every craft practiced by the dwarves and the patron of artisans. He expects his children to follow in his footsteps, studying his techniques and aspiring to one day match his expertise.
Priests of Moradin are responsible for judging and assessing the work of a stronghold’s artisans. They keep great volumes that describe various crafting techniques in detail, and use the guidelines in them to judge the quality of individual works.
The priests also evaluate young dwarves to determine the youths’ vocations. The decisions of the priests are accepted without question.
