Moradin

Overview
Moradin, or the Dwarffather, is the lawful good chief deity in the dwarven pantheon. His holy day is on the crescent moon and he is worshipped at forges and hearths. Melted metals are sacrificed to him monthly.

Followers
Moradin's clerics are usually drawn from family lines, like most dwarven occupations; they wear earthy colors, with chain mail and silvered helms. Moradin charges his followers with the task of removing the kingdoms of orcs and wiping out the followers of Gruumsh. He is upset if they flee from their foes or kill their fellow dwarves.

Orders

 * Hammers of Moradin: The Hammers of Moradin are an elite military order dominated by crusaders and fighting clerics with chapters in nearly every dwarven stronghold and members drawn from every dwarven clan. The Hammers serve both as commanders of dwarven armies and as an elite strike force skilled in dealing with anything from large groups of orcs to great wyrms to malevolent fiends from the lower planes. The order is dedicated to the defense of existing dwarven holdings and the carving out of new dwarven territories. Individual chapters have a great deal of local autonomy but, in times of great crisis, a Grand Council will assemble to plot strategy and divine Moradin's will.

History
It is said Moradin created the first dwarves out of earthen materials and tutored them in dwarven ways.
