Dwarfism

Dwarfism is the main faith of the Dwarven Race. It holds the belief that the Dwarves hold the Mantle of Responsibility over the other races of Archtun. Unlike Humanism, Orkism, and Elvenism, Dwarfism has integrated into everyday lives of the Dwarves, with them first waking up and praying to their gods that their mountain and work be blessed, and that one day the Mantle of Responsibility will be given to them. While they work and mine, they sing hyms of their own good and credible deeds in hopes to convince the gods they are ready for the Mantle.
The Dwarves focus on his blessings of wealth prosperity, and progress. In dwarven depictions, he is often depicted as shorter than the Human depictions, having a great beard, and messy, untamed brown hair.
The Dwarves believe that Helifex has been testing them throughout the ages to see if they are worthy of handling the Mantle of Responsibility. They see everything from a stubbed-toe to a clan collapsing as a test to see if they will fall into what they call "The Selfish Indulgences" of sloth, poverty, weakness, and stagnation. Because of this, the Dwarves worship Helifex by putting hard times on themselves, such as offering him the finest of ores, not eating for several weeks, or completing challenging pilgrimages. Inspiring champions of Dwarfism or sons of Dwarven Chieftans will even sometimes begin a crusade to try to gain the favor of Helifex to ascend in role or stature in life. These are known as a Mandate Crusade.
The Dwarves believes their beards to be indicators that they are marked as Helifex's children, and that Humans are only slightly favored, as some do not have beards, and none have beards like them. If one Dwarf commits heresy, they have their beards shaven and magically made so they may never grow one again. They are then banished, and known as the "Unforged".
The Tounge Keepers are the militant portion of Dwarfism, the Dwarvish primary religion. Theywatch for blasphemy across Guilnile to keep the faith intact. Their headquarters is located on a floating cloud that moves throughout Guilnile's skies.

The Tounge Keepers

The Tounge Keepers are the militant portion of Dwarfism, and watch for blasphemy across Guilnile to keep the faith intact. Their headquarters is located on a floating cloud that moves throughout Guilnile's skies. This is possible due to the ancient dwarven technique known as Feathercrafting. Because of this, the Keepers wear special boots known as Featherboots, that allow them to walk on the cloud that hosts their headquarters, which is known as All-eye.

Atonement

In Dwarfism, it is believed that one must cleanse themselves of the filth and sin of life, lest they not be worthy when they are ready to inherit the Mantle of Responsibility. Dwarves practice cleansing themselves via a process in which they clothe themselves in mostly fire-resistant armor and then enter a large brazier known as a "Brazier of Purification." The Dwarves then believe their sins and filth are cleansed by the holy flames, which are managed by the Sacred Flamers, who enforce the cleansing process.
