Moradin

God of Creation (a.k.a. The Creator, All-Father)

Summary

Moradin is the god of creation and patron of artisans, especially miners and smiths. He carved the mountains from primordial earth and is the guardian and protector of the hearth and the family. Dwarves from all walks of life follow him. He demands these behaviours from his followers: Meet adversity with stoicism and tenacity. Demonstrate loyalty to your family, your clan, your leaders, and your people. Strive to make a mark on the world, a lasting legacy. To make something that lasts is the highest good, whether you are a smith working at a forge or a ruler building a dynasty. Moradin is the patron of miners and smiths, and he is also the creator of the dwarves. He carved the mountains out of the primordial earth and shaped them to his own liking. He teaches that the highest good that you can do is to build something that will be of lasting impact in the world. This has led him to become good friends with Erathis, since civilization is the just one more thing that can be built. Moradin is an enemy of Torog who seeks to corrupt those who dwell beneath Moradin's holy mountains.
