Hierch the Smith

Hierch (the founder/ The innovator/ the Smith) : the god of the forge, metal, and stone. Typically the patron of most craftsmen, Hierch is the god of the forge, he who creates by harnessing insight, intellect, and innovation. His realm is one of mastery over the elements and environment and shaping it to fit his will. Humans, in their constant drive to master the world, align with this ideal most readily. His symbol is a discerning eye over an anvil, representing the intellect conceiving of, and the will shaping one’s mastery over the universe. Sometimes the eye is depicted as a circle of fire. His priests are drawn to man-made arms and armor, typically metal, for protection and are almost always lawful and mostly good. Craftsmen, blacksmiths, inventors, and others that use their hands and minds to create or build (with the exception of most artists) are counted among his worshipers.
