Ban, the Miner
Ban is the most prominent god in the dwarven pantheon. He is seen as directly responsible for the great prosperity of dwarven mining, and is said to have filled the world with minerals from his own personal hoard as a gift to the dwarves who worship him. Miners are especially prone to his worship, for obvious reasons.
Breios, the Craftsman
Breios is seen as the great forge master of dwarven kind, providing dwarves with the knowledge to mold the minerals given by Ban into useful tools and beautiful trinkets. All smiths worship Breios, as well as many other craftsmen such as masons, tailors, and the like.
Karr, the Judge
Karr is seen as the protector of dwarven law and tradition, and is second only to Ban in his prevalence in dwarven society. Leaders invoke his name when passing judgement or creating laws, and all customs are said to have originated from his teachings. Politicians and noblemen tend to be the most common worshipers.
Loz, the Warrior
Loz is the god of strength by arms in dwarven culture. While Karr is responsible for creating law, Loz is responsible for enforcing it. Disputes are often settled by combat, with the winner seen as favored by the Warrior and thus in the right in that situation. Soldiers and criminals are his most devout followers.
Fauren, the Builder
Fauren is the god of intelligent design, the great architect of thought. He is said to have constructed the mind and given meaning to the patterns found in nature. Mathematics and related disciplines are thought to how been first revealed to his early worshipers. Builders and academics tend to favor Fauren over the other gods.
Mani, the Bard
Mani is the god of stories and merriment. Song and dance are his gift to dwarven kind, and the keeping of historical records were inspired by his tales and legends. He is a strong proponent of kinship, promoting close-knit groups to vast alliances. All dwarves celebrate Mani with festivals throughout the year, taking time from their busy and structured lives to recognize that leisure is important as well.
