Abbathor

Abbathor, also known as the Great Master of Greed, was the neutral evil dwarven god of greed before becoming an exarch of Bane. He was an intensely greedy deity and was both desirous and envious of others' riches. Abbathor and his followers believed in the acquisition of all forms of wealth by any and all means necessary.

Worshipers
Abbathor's priests dressed in red leather armor and leather caps. His holy days were on the solar eclipse and he demanded the sacrifice of both blood and gems annually.

Relationships
Abbathor's relations with his fellow dwarven deities were strained, but he was not cast out of the pantheon.

History
Abbathor wasn't always evil. The creature that would one day become known as the Wyrm of Avarice originally concerned himself with the natural beauty of gems and metal, but became estranged from his pantheon when Moradin named Dumathoin the patron of gold dwarves, a position Abbathor had coveted since birth. Thereafter he traded the tradition and honor of the dwarven race for trickery and stealth. He had been denied the thing he wanted most, and swore never to be on the same position again. Henceforth, if something appealed to Abbathor, he took it. Since dwarves are prone to greed without help from their deities, many have fallen to Abbathor's seductive call. The Trove Lord now seeks to prevert the whole of the dwarven race to his way of thinking, the greatest offence he can imagine to thumb his nose at his distant patriarch. Abbathor covets valuables and gems with intensity best described as sensual, and goes to any length to get what he wants.

Dogma
"Toril's wealth was created for those dwarves crafty enought to capture it by any means necessary. Revel in the possession of all wealth that shines or sparkles, for its pleasing form was meant to bring you pleasure. Greed is good, as it motivates the possession and holding of all that is precious. Do not seize wealth from the children of the Morndinsamman, however, nor conspire against the favored of Abbathor, for strife in the name of avarice weakens the clan."
