Structure
This order of Moradin is led by a Father, who is equal to many other Fathers among the faith.
Mythology & Lore
Moradin , as one of, if notthefirst of the dwarves, came into being amidst chaos and strife. Moradin saw the chaos of the world, the helplessness of wild emotions, magic, and life-without-form, and took to crafting vessels through which the chaos could be channeled. It was in this way, through the heat of the forge and the efforts of one dwarf, that the Iron-hearts were born. Moradin looked upon his creation and saw that, despite the vessel, the chaos of life-without-form would not stay contained. The iron-hearts would attempt to communicate, or move, and find themselves incapable. They needed to be softer. So Moradin stripped layers off of the iron-hearts, found clay-of-providence (Common translation), and molded new bodies over the iron-hearts. Thus dwarves were born.
Divine Origins
