The Dwarven Pantheon

To many people on Ehldaron the Deity Aana is known as the extremely skilled and creative Goddess of Craft worshipped mostly by artisans. To most dwarves, however, Aana is more than that. Much more. She is their patron deity, for Aana is believed to be their creator, the Mother of Dwarves.

Next to Aana stand the dwarves that helped shape their society. Those that should be revered: the dwarven champions, exemplars, and paragons. But also those that should be abhorred: the dwarven cowards and traitors. The combined group of these individuals is known as The Vellihr.

The Vellihr are no Gods, but rather the epitome of mortal dwarves. The best, and worst, of their kind. There are those which all dwarves should aspire to be like, and others which all dwarves should turn away from as much as possible. While the Vellihr are in many cases long dead, to most dwarves they are as important as the Gods of Ehldaron’s Pantheon are for other races.

A special kind of Vellihr are the apprentices of Aana. These dwarves were chosen by the Goddess herself to be taught everything she knew in a certain aspect of craft. It is commonly believed the skill of these apprentices was second only to Aana herself, and in ancient times their abilities were envied even by the other Gods. Amongst the already very respected Vellihr, these six apprentices are the most venerable ones, and each of their names contains the suffix “Rov”, meaning “Honoured One”.
