Rockin Stone

Titles: The Hammer-Hearted, The Singing Pick, Lord of the Lode

Domains: Forge, War, Tempest

Personality: Rockin Stone is loud, gruff, and jubilant. A god who revels in the clash of steel, the crash of stone, and the bellowing of a good song. He is a patron of miners, warriors, and singers alike. He is believed to dwell deep within the bones of the world, hammering the rhythm of life into the stone. His laughter is said to cause cave tremors, and his battle-cries ring like avalanches through the hearts of his followers. While he demands hard work and bravery, he encourages joy and camaraderie in equal measure. "A deep vein, a full stein, and a roaring chorus" that is his blessing.

Clergy: Rockin Stone’s clergy are known as the Stone Singers or Hammer-Chanters. They lead both mining crews and warbands in rhythmic chants believed to bless the stone and strengthen the soul. Services are rarely solemn and often resemble raucous tavern gatherings with songs, shouting, and shared drink. Priests often dual-wield mining tools and musical instruments, and it’s not uncommon for his battle-clerics to beat war drums mid-fight or break into song before charging into danger.

In regions like Flagon or House Grudge controlled Holds, his temples are carved directly into stone and double as taverns or communal halls. Despite his primary worship in the Confederation, dwarves across the Oligarchy secretly or openly revere him, especially in subterranean provinces.

Cultural Impact: Among dwarves, invoking Rockin Stone before a dangerous delve or during battle is tradition. The phrase “For Rockin Stone!” is both a rallying cry and an oath, shouted before picks strike ore or blades meet foe. His worship is particularly strong in the province of Flagon, where he shares space with the god Jover in cavern-temples lit by glowing veins of ore and glowing runes.

In the Amium Confederation, Rockin Stone is one of the patron gods of the nation’s dwarven population and regarded as a protector of all who delve deep for honest work. While seen as crude or "uncultured" by some surface-dwelling nobles, his faith endures through song, steel, and stone.
