History
In 1383 DR, Moradin led the Morndinsamman on a crusade against the dark powers of Hammergrim, slaying Duerra and Laduguer, but at the cost of Gorm and Haela.
As of 1479 DR, only Moradin, Berronar, Clangeddin, Dugmaren, Marthammor, Thard, and Vergadain remained in Dwarfhome. Abbathor was serving Bane as an exarch and the status of Dumathoin and Sharindlar was unknown.
Following the Second Sundering, by the end of the 15th century DR, thirteen of the Morndinsamman deities appeared to have been restored to their portfolios as they were before the Time of Troubles of 1358 DR and the Spellplague of 1385 DR; the exception was Thard Harr, whose status at the time was unknown. The exact circumstances of their return are unclear.
