Dwarven Religion

Dwarves follow a traditional polytheistic religion based on community worship and orthopraxy (the idea that it is most important to carry out religious rituals and ceremonies exactly rightly).  The dwarven pantheon is similar to that worshipped by the elves, though some deities are more important or different to their elven counterparts.  
In design, temples are similar to modern churches, although in place of an altar there is a shaft to the open sky or a deep chasm or pit leading deep underground.  The congregation is brought into the temple and most remain standing for the entire ceremony, which is carried out by the clan leaders and specific members of the priestly caste.
Dwarves carry out very traditional ceremonies according to the methods handed down by their ancestors over generations.  Dwarven religious ceremonies are communal affairs, at which almost the entire hold or clan regularly assemble in veneration.  
Most temples are underground, celestial deities are worshipped under the open sky and offerings are burned so that the smoke rises into the heavens, while offerings to underground deities are poured or placed into deep pits.
The list of dwarven deities are below.
Saviour-titans (cult titles are in italics):

• Juno Optima Maxima, Regea Imperea Dominea: Juno represents the right to rule and the force of law and order in dwarven society.  She is extremely important, and offerings are always made to her first in all ceremonies.  Her elven counterpart is Hera, the Celestial Empress.
• Vesta Sospirina Veravita: Vesta represents life and procreation, as well as the hearth and home of both clans and individual families.  Her elven counterpart is Hestia, the Gentle Lifegiver.
• Ceres Tellutris Alita: Ceres represents the bountiful and nurturing power of the earth, so necessary for the clans to survive and thrive.  Her elven counterpart is: Demeter, the Bountiful Earth.
• Neptunus Salacis Tonas: Neptune is the dangerous god of storms, oceans and earthquakes, who is worshipped to avoid these deadly disasters.  His elven counterpart is: Poseidon, the Storm Breaker.

Other gods:

• Dismater Fatirens Mortigur: Dismater is the mistress of fate and death, the great queen of the underworld and the patron of subterranean mineral wealth, a very important goddess.  Her elven counterpart is: Persephone, the Grave Queen and Hecate, the Dread Sorceress.
• Dispater Orcus Nefas: Dispater is the grim and forbidding god of death, and the spouse and subordinate of Dismater, together with whom he represents subterranean wealth.  He is much more positive than his elven counterpart: Hades Zagreus, the Shadow Abyss.
• Minerva Consilis Stator: Minerva is the god of strategy and planning, especially the organisation of the army.  Her elven counterpart is: Athena, the Hero's Aid.
• Mavors Bellavis Ultor: Mavors is the god of war and especially vengeance, who drives the dwarves to seek recompense and revenge against those who have wronged them and been added to the List of Grudges.  He is much more positive than his elven counterpart: Ares, the Bloody-handed Warrior.
• Genetrix Suavina Leporas: Genetrix is the patron of the bonds of clan and marriage that hold together dwarven society.  Her elven counterpart is very different: Aphrodite, the Radiant Glory.
• Vulcanus Artago Calear: Vulcanus is the god of craft and creation, especially associated with the famous dwarven forgecraft.  His elven counterpart is: Hephaestus, the Skilful Smith.
• Janus Bifros Aliater: Janus is the god of beginnings but also of perception and knowledge, guards and sentinels, popular among the ever-suspicious dwarves.  His elven counterpart is: Argus, the Hundred-eyed Sentinel.
• Mercurius Initer Praecos Dolon: Mercurius is the god of merchants and travel, and of the necessity of talking and making agreements with outsiders; he is also the god of trickery.  He is less prominent than his elven counterpart: Hermes, the Swift Trickster.
• Phoebus Fulmis Chrysaor: Phoebus is the god of the sun and artistic pursuits, and is particularly associated with elves and their culture, even having two elven names.  He is very similar to his elven counterpart: Apollo, the Golden Civiliser.
