The Soulforger
(a.k.a. Moradin, Allhammer)
Moradin is the patron of craft and creation. The Soulforger is worshiped by smiths, artisans, and miners alike, granting inspiration where respect and prayer are given. He shaped the mountains and stands as the patron protector of home and family. The devotion to the Soulforger is strongest in dwarven communities, and many of his temples mark the center of a mighty dwarven stronghold.
Many guild halls and workshops contain images of the Soulforger, a faceless, stout dwarf-like being of immense strength, hunched over a flaming heart clasped within his massive hands.
