Kothar
God of Dwarvenkind, Father Stone, the Hammer of the Gods, the Soul-Forger, Lord of the Forge
Kothar is the lawful good deity of craft, creation, family, and legacy. He is the patron of craftsmen, blacksmiths, forgemasters, artisans, and miners, granting inspiration where respect and prayer are given. He shaped the mountains during the First Age, and stands as the patron of home and family.
Kothar is the most popular amongst dwarvenkind, and is considered father of the dwarves. The Church of Kothar is not as large or as powerful as other gods but it is widespread and well respected. As the god of artisans, smiths, and builders, Kothar is sometimes viewed as more understanding of earthly matters.
Kothar’s clerics and followers are most common amongst towns and cities. The overall church, although it no longer can maintain control over widespread individual temples, nonetheless maintains a network of communications between different branches. At one time, the “Father Church” ruled over the faithful across Irion, boasting one of the most organized faiths of any other religion.
Beyond the realm of civilization, Kothar’s church has few followers and even fewer temples. Other humanoid races, such as goblins, hobgoblins, and orcs, despise Kothar in every way possible. Amongst other “civilized” races such as elves and eladrin, Kothar clerics are relatively uncommon, but not unheard of. Kothar may be considered God of Dwarvenkind, but his faith encompasses people from many different races.
