Father’s Forge

Absalom has a large number of dwarven citizens, many of whom worship Torag, yet Torag’s largest church in the city is this relatively humble smithy. Tended by an aged cleric named Roglund Tergurast, the Father’s Forge is a quiet institution in Absalom that’s continued to produce high quality metalwork for many, many centuries, but its keepers have never pushed to expand its presence. Asked about this by others, the dwarves who tend the Father’s Forge patiently reply that every dwarven forge in Absalom is, in one way or another, a shrine to Torag, and every dwarven hearth in every dwarven home a monument to the Father of Creation. Yet despite these humble roots, even a cursory glance at the impressive “Founders’ Wall,” where lifelike metal busts of each and every smith who has tended the Father’s Forge for the past few thousand years stare back from ornamental niches, reveals the deeply entrenched traditions of this establishment.
