Moradin

The Dwarven Smith

Moradin, The Creator, the deity of dwarves, usually appears as a stern-faced male dwarf with a powerful build. His upper body is particularly robust, with a barrel chest, wide shoulders, and arms corded with big muscles and runic tattoos. He has flowing reddish brown hair and a beard to match, and always wears full plate armor. He carries a shield and a Warhammer. Moradin forged his sons, the first dwarves, Orsik , Arvin , and Kari out of metal and gems and breathed life into them. From there the small family crafted the rest of the dwarven race.

Tenets of Faith

Moradin is an adamant defender of the dwarven people he created and of the principles of law and good. He teaches the value of making goods that last, of loyalty to clan, leader, and people, and of meeting adversity with stoicism and tenacity. He tolerates no taint of evil among the dwarves; it was he who drove the derro and duergar out of the dwarven community. It is Moradin's influence that leads the dwarves towards excellence in craftwork and staunch defense of what is theirs. 
Clerics of Moradin are charged with maintaining and advancing the dwarven race in all walks of life. They perform a wide range of public ceremonies (marriages, blessing new ventures, crowning monarchs, and the like). They also educate the young, arrange communal defenses, and sponsor expeditions to settle new lands. They also keep detailed genealogies and historical archives. 
Every temple or shine of Moradin includes an anvil and forge that the clerics keep perpetually burning. The anvil can be a simple decoration or part of a working smithy, but it often serves as the temple altar.
