Fire and Forge Faith

A traditional faith among many Dwarvish communities. The Fire and Forge chapels practice both divine magic, as well as smiting and manufacturing, as a method to reach perfection via hard work and craftsmanship. While there is certainly an aspect of ancestor worship within this faith, it is primarily a show of determination, pride and dedication to excellence.

Structure

Each Chapel-Forge acts indipendantly, crafting works of bronze, brass, iron, steel, silver, gold and platinum.

Culture

Dwarves work the forges, attempting to perfect their craft, and through these works purify and perfect themselves.
The works created here are often gifted to local notables and those seen as allies of the dwarven people, they are also sometimes sold at acution to provide for the community.

Worship

Barohm - (Bah-ROAM) A word imitating the resounding ring of a hammer on an anvil is used in traditional songs and prayers, usually to begin and end a line or verse.


"Barohm, Barohm, the Fire and Forge my home.
Barohm, Barohm, the Fire and Forge my home

The Ember's Glow, My Rising Dawn. Barohm, Barohm, the Fire and Forge my home.
The Anvil's Chime; my Battle Cry. Barohm, Barohm, the Fire and Forge my home.
The Hammer's Strike, a Lullaby. Barohm, Barohm, the Fire and Forge my home.
The Bellow's Breath; erase the Debt. Barohm, Barohm, the Fire and Forge my home.

The Quenching Trough; My chorus song. Barohm, Barohm, the Fire and Forge my home."
