Clangeddin Silverbeard

The Father of Battle, Lord of the Twin Axes, The Giantkiller, The Goblinbane, The Wyrmslayer, The Rock of Battle.

There is no finer moment in a dwarf’s life than when they are thrust fully into battle, when their heart beats like a war drum, and when the blood, and sweat, and dust, dull the senses to anything beyond the enemy that lies before them. There is no finer death than to fall in battle, but a life should never be discarded carelessly; and Clangeddin teaches his followers to always go down swinging, and when they've no strength left in their limbs, to bite and gnaw until the darkness takes them. Should his followers survive, they must prepare to do it again.   The Clangeddi priesthood are called Alaghor, meaning "those who demonstrate valor in battle". Though people of other races and beliefs may picture Clangeddi devotees as little more than bloodthirsty berserkers, other worshippers of the Morndinsamman pantheon know their worth. Alaghor are recognizable on sight on the battlefield for wearing silver helmets and stylized gorgets, designed to appear like grand silver beards. However, they are often heard coming first, singing their low and droning songs known as ehontar, or "songs to strike fear in the hearts of the cowardly".   There are few universal holy days for Clangeddians, but instead, local holy days are celebrated. In any given town, on the anniversary of a great battle, old and wizened warriors will sit in public spaces, holding weapons anointed with their own blood. They strip their sleeves, show their scars, tell great tales of the battles they fought, and sing songs for their fallen brothers and sisters.
