§ Portfolio: Safety, honesty, home, healing, marriage, family, fertility, records, oaths, water, nature, peace

Anbella is the wife of Yemekar. Just as Dwarven souls are forged on Yemekar's Ruhn-Anvil, they are ever warmed and nurtured by the loving embrace of the Hearth Mother.

Do not succumb to the misery of greed or the evils of strife, but always bring hope. health and cheer to those in need. Once an oath is made, Anbella watches over its keeping - to break it is to wound her sorely. Children must be cherished and guarded well from harm, for they are the future of all Dwarvenkind.

 

~=~ Dungrimm, "Guardian of The Dead" ~=~

§ Symbol: An Iron Mask

§ Portfolio: Battle, valor, bravery, honor, defense, the dead, the moon

The finest hours of Dwarven kind come in the thrusts and feints of war. Seize the opportunity to defend your kin and ensure their victory when conflict erupts. Revel in the challenge of a good fight and never waiver in the face of adversity,  no matter how ominous. Lives should never be thrown away foolishly, but the greatest honor is to sacrifice oneself for the cause of the field of battle in service to a righteous cause. Honor the dead and death itself and keep the places of the dead inviolate and well tended; the noble ancestors of our race will neither be robbed nor moved through the actions of thieves and defilers. Abide not undead creatures, especially those that take the form of Dwarves, thus mocking the creation of Yemekar.

§ Symbol: A Lightning Bolt

§ Portfolio: Love, romance, youth, dancing, courtship, explorers, travellers, seduction, lightning

 Be merciful in speech and deed. Temper your anger and hostility with constructive and charitable endeavor. The children of the Dwarves must live in safety and propagate. Love with a fiery passion.

~=~ Ogradhad, "The Lore Master" ~=~

§ Symbol: An Open Book

§ Portfolio: Scholarship, invention, discovery, knowledge, magic

The secrets of the world are waiting to be discovered. Travel widely, broaden your mind at every opportunity, and pursue the life of a scholar. Cultivate the spirit of intrigue among the young and be teachers to all. Seek to recover lost and arcane knowledge of ages past and apply it to the world today.

~=~ Armakak, "Merchant Father" ~=~

§ Symbol: A Gold Coin

§ Portfolio: Wealth, luck, chance, negotiation, merchants, cleverness, the sun

The truly blessed are those whose enterprise and zeal brings both wealth and good luck. Work hard, be clever, seek the best bargain and the Merchant Father will shower you with gold.

~=~ Grimdugan, "Lord of Avarice" ~=~

§ Symbol: Obsidian Dagger

§ Portfolio: Greed, money, merchant, thieves, shadow

The wealth of the world was created for those Dwarves crafty enough to capture it by any means necessary. Revel in the possession of all wealth that shines or sparkles, for its form was meant to bring you pleasure. Greed is good, for it motivates the possession and holding of all that is precious. Do not seize wealth from the children of the Brathmordakin however, nor conspire against the favored of Grimdugan, for strife in the name of avarice weakens the clan.

~=~ Allies of the Brathmordakin ~=~

 

 

 

~=~ Wyrvun, "Lord of Virtue" ~=~

§ Symbol: An Ice Crystal

§ Portfolio: Cold, frost, ice, purity, virtue, righteousness

 

Wyrvun is the youngest ally of the Brathmordakin, first placed upon the world to control the elements of the Deep Cold and protect the mortal races from its wrath. As his corrupted self, he wreaked havoc upon the Dwarves for centuries until finally being freed and returned to his original form by Igor Ireheart, to whom he named his Paragon. Wyrvun is a shape shifter and in his most basic form appears as a blizzard. However, to mortals he more often chooses to take the form of a dragon. Those Dwarves who choose to follow his teachings value a pure and righteous heart above all else.

 

~=~ Dormmar, "The Flesh Lord" ~=~

 

§ Symbol: Unknown

§ Portfolio: The Doomforged, runes

Very little is known about Dormmar. A recent addition to the allies of the Brathmordakin, all that is truly known about him is that he is the god of the Doomforged. Originally thought to be Iblees, recent research found that this was incorrect and Dormmar is now listed as an ally of the Brathmordakin.
