Knurla Religion
The dwarves were polytheists, believing in multiple deities. These included Gûntera, king of the deities, a warrior and scholar; Kílf, Gûntera's queen and the goddess of water; Urûr, master of the heavens and the air; Morgothal, the god of fire; Sindri(character), "mother earth"; and Helzvog, the dwarves' favourite deity, who created the dwarves from the roots of the mountains.
Tenets of Faith
The dwarves believed that when a dwarf dies they must be sealed in stone so that they can join their ancestors in the afterlife. They refuse to say more than that to outsiders. They take great lengths to ensure burial in this way, for they believe that shame falls on the family or clan that does not bury their dead in this fashion. Under Farthen Dûr is a chamber for all the dwarves who have died while in the city. They consider this chamber a sacred grotto.
Priesthood
Dûrgrimst Quan.
While most are born into the priesthood, anyone who hears the call can forsake their clan and join the Quan without any dishonour.
Granted Divine Powers
Stone is a living organism, using the example of coral as proof that stone was alive and could grow. While other types of rock appeared inert to magical inspection, Dwarf priests are the only ones able to detect life in landlocked rocks.
From stone, flesh; from flesh, earth; and from earth, stone again
