Fafnir
Fafnir
The priests of Fafnir tell a tale of their god’s strange fate. Once a dwarven god, the original Fafnir spent his entire existence in greed gathering vast amounts of gold and artifacts to satisfy his hoard and prove himself to his father Wotan. When a divine dragon swallowed Fafnir like a pebble after he attempted to steal from the dragon, Fafnir fought back from the inside of the dragon's belly. Absorbing the dragon from within, the current Fafnir emerged as a dragon god of greed. Fafnir dwells deep within Svartalfheim inside a vast vault. He keeps worthy souls there, millions of them, inside beautiful flawless gems of great size where they rest peacefully.
Depiction. Fafnir is depicted as a golden dragon who's scales are encrusted with various gems. He is typically shown in statues holding a gem and coiled upon a mound of riches.
Worshippers. Though his worship is overshadowed by many other of the dragon's patrons, he is nevertheless influential over the empire and its spiritual foundation. His priests handle the burial rites for the empire. As the embodiment of greed itself; those in search of wealth and fortune, especially dragons, tend to revere Fafnir and ask for his help.
