This is a post i made back on Myseria. It's incomplete though, missing Haela Brightaxe and Dumathoin among others.
The dwarven pantheon resides at Dwarfhome and is collectively known as Morndinsamman.
Moradin Greater Dwarven Diety The Soul Forger, All-father The chief god and the creator of all dwarves as well as the undisputed head of Dwarfhome. Clergy name: Sonnlinor (those who work stone) Alignment: LG Portfolio: creation, mining, smithing, protection, metalcraft, stonework. Cleric Align.: LG, LN, NG Domains: Earth, Good, Law, Protection Favored weapon: Warhammer
Berronar Truesilver Intermediate Dwarven Diety The Revered Mother The bride of Moradin and the mathriarc of Dwarfhome. Clergy name: Faenor (those of the home) Alignment: LG Portfolio: Safety, honesty, the dwarven home, family, scribes Cleric Align.: LG, LN, NG Domains: Good, Healing, Law Favored weapon: Mace
Clangeddin Silverbeard Intermediate Dwarven Diety Father of Battle, Lord of the twin axes, the Rock of Battle
The dwarven god of battle is who dwarves primarely pray to for luck in battle, and since dwarves are a warlike race, he is crucial. Clergy name: Alaghor (those who demonstrate valor in battle) Alignment: LG Portfolio: Battle, war, valor, bravery Cleric Align.: LG, LN, NG Domains: War, Strength, Law, Good Favored weapon: Battleaxe
When a dwarf marches off to battle, the hymns of Clangeddin Silverbeard echo in his warrior’s heart. Those dwarves who fight by proffesion or preferences honor the lord of the twin axes in word and deed, pledging to honor battle, mastery in training and wisdom in war. Clangeddin never backs down from a challenge, never compromises, and never surrenders, even when all is lost. Clangeddin harbors a special kind of hatred for giants, and it is said that the natural ability to confound and defeat these enemies is a gift from him. Clangeddin allies with all members of the Mordinsamman except Abbathor, whom he shamed in the distant past and hence gained his eternal emmity. The Rock of Battle knows that he also can call upon the support from other pantheons such as Gaerdal Ironhand, Arvoreen, Torm and Tyr.
Popular in dwarven communities thanks to their martial skill, followers of Clangeddin have a poor relationship with other races, which see them as bloodthirsty berserkers. While certain followers undoublty verify such an evaluation, the bulk of those that follow the Father of Battle know much of troop movements and tactics, and make excellent wartime advisors. His clerics conduct military training every day and learn and teach methods of crafting arms and armors. As they seek to make dwarves even stronger on the battlefield, they are allways alert for new tactics, traps and weapons.
Known as alaghor, “those who demonstrate valor in battle”, clerics of Clangeddin Silverbeard pray for spells in the morning. The aniversaries of past battles hold special significance for the alaghor. On such occasions, the clerics break old weapons anointed with their own blood and recount tales of fallen heroes that they might never be forgotten. More disturbing, for their enemies, are the frenzied war chants in which the alaghor engage during the heat of battle. Known as ehontar, “songs giving fear to the hearts of the craven”, these low, droning war chants bolster the spirit of nearby dwarves, assuring them that Clangeddin immediately enlists in his celestial armies those who fall during furthering the destiny of the dwarves and their strongholds. Alaghor know they will die in combat; the rest is merely a matter of timing. Clerics of Clangeddin frequently multiclass as divine champions, dwarven defenders, or fighters. Some gain some experience as barbarians or were barbarians prior to heeding the call of the The Father of Battle.
Vergadain Intermediate Dwarven Diety Merchant King, the Laughing Dwarf God of wealth and riches and the art surrounding it. Clergy name: Hurndor (those who trade) Alignment: N Portfolio: Trade, wealth, trickery, negotiation, non-evil thieves Cleric Align.: CN, N, NE, NG, LN Domains: Luck, Trickery Favored weapon: Longsword
Marthammar Duin Lesser Dwarven Diety Watcher over Wanderers, the Watchful eye God of dwarven travellers and explorers. Clergy name: Volamtar (Blazers of fresh trails) Alignment: NG Portfolio: Guides, explorers, travellers, lightning Cleric Align.: CG, LG, NG Domains: Protection, Good Favored weapon: Mace
