Moradin - Dwarven God of Creation and Protection

Moradin is the lawful good god of the dwarves and their chief deity. A harsh but fair judge, he is strength and force of will embodied. He inspires dwarven inventions and constantly seeks to improve their race, encouraging a good natured, intelligent, and harmonious existence with other good races while battling their pride and isolationist tendencies.
Moradin is held in dwarven myths to have been incarnated from rock, stone, and metal, and that his soul an ember of fire. It is said he forged the first dwarves from metals and gems and breathed souls into them when he blew on his creations to cool them.
The church of Moradin has an active role in guiding the morals of dwarven communities; they emphasized his hand in everyday dwarven activities such as mining, smithing, and engineering; they invoked his blessing when these tasks begin. They led the push to found new dwarven kingdoms and increase their status among surface communities.
