Worship

Dalt's name is used to bless fortresses, jails, and locked boxes, as well as anything that is meant to be secure from thieves, such as dwellings.

Priesthood

Dalt's clerics are a mix of those who seek to keep things locked and those who seek to open those locks. In this religion, any obstacle may be represented as a lock. Clerics of Dalt attempt to discern which things are difficult, and which are simply not meant to be known. Balance is key, anc clerics of Dalt value both respect for the unknowable and the pursuit of knowledge.
Dalt's clerics deal in literal locks, as well. They act as instructors for locksmiths, masons, carpenters, and thieves, though they will only teach those who have the greater good in mind. They often wander the Flanaess, seeking out worthy tests for their skills.
