Vulcan

(a.k.a. Tyr, Goibhniu, Ptah)

Vulcan is the god of metalworking and the forge, as well as a god of fire. He is a patron to blacksmiths, armorers, and weaponsmiths throughout the now world, and is frequently depicted as working at a forge, and wielding a great heavy hammer. He is worshiped by the elves as Tyr, by the Dwarves, Gnomes and Halflings as Goibhniu, and by the River Folk as Ptah. According to Dwarven legends, Vulcan (in his guise as Goibhniu) is the creator of their people.
The Dwarves, who are known for their craftsmanship, particularly with metal, often worship Vulcan and strongly identify with him. Dwarves believe that Vulcan (as Goibhniu) bestowed his talent for metalworking and the forge upon the Dwarven people, and consequently, many of them consider working in the smithy to be near-sacred. Throughout Dwarven lands there are many shrines and temples devoted to Vulcan.
Vulcan is the son of Jupiter and Juno and is the consort of Vesta, the goddess of domesticity.
