The Tempered Gods

The Tempered Gods are those born of dwarven sin, children of Selesta. They are Abbathor, god of greed and exploration, Kranton, god of war and fury, and Tün, god of death and ending.

Mythology & Lore

These gods were created when the first dwarves were tempered by Selesta. The steam that rose from them created these gods from their sins. This tale is told in The Creation of the Dwarves.

Worship

Directly worshiping these gods is forbidden by Khournon for, while their powers are necessary, they can tempt dwarves to do evil things. For this reason, whenever the names of these gods are invoked, their name must be followed by the phrase "May Khournon guide their hands." Whenever their symbols are used to channel their powers, they must be surrounded by the symbol of Khournon and his protective runes.
There are groups who worship these gods without said protections. These cults often engage in dangerous levels of dwarven sin and often commit great attrocities in the name of their gods.
