Tenets of Faith

Be skilled with your hands and with craftsmanship, and accept nothing less than perfection in your works. Build bigger and grander things than any other.
 
Innovate and invent, so that you may understand the 'why' of everything. Make everything and invent everything, at any cost.
 
Justice is earned, and never owed. Ensure it is given to any strong enough to claim it, and ensure those who cannot are cast down and shackled as livestock.
 
One's worth is determined by the quantity and quality of the creations they leave behind. Ensure all you make is built to stand the test of time.
 
Sacrifice and blood fuels the creation of truly powerful things. Let the blood of others and yourself water your creations to make them truly mighty.

History

After Freyja executed the Dwarven god of Gunpowder Thrym, her followers in time successfully stole every last secret Dwarven technique for smithing, crafting, and forging of all kinds...making them their own. As the new grandmasters of smithing and craftsmanship, the Giants of the Kingdom of Aslaga soon began to worship a new Goddess of the Forge...a brutal one to replace the one Freyja executed, one of slavery and who watered her creations with the blood of the unworthy slaves they collected in their conquests. Thus was Aurgelmir born from the corpse of Thrym, a new sister to The Grand Trampler.
