Holy Covenant of the

Faith of the Brathmordakin

 

Preamble

The Faith of the Brathmordakin is all the denominations, or faiths that fall under it. They all share the same basis of faith: the Brathmordakin, key concepts, as well as their essential beliefs, with the differences between these denominations being expressed in additional concepts that do not contradict the above, choice of paragon to venerate, institutions they consider to be legitimate in the leading of their particular ceremonies and variations in rituals and prayers dedicated to the Brathmordakin.

 

This Holy Covenant of the Faith of the Brathmordakin establishes three norms for peaceful and productive coexistence with all the denominations of the Faith. These are what the essential beliefs of the Faith are, and which all denominations of the Faith must follow, the requirements of being a denomination, and failure to uphold those norms.

 

To go along with this The Forum of Faith shall be incorporated as part of da Kirkja Dverga in order to provide a more stable platform for all the denominations under the Faith of the Brathmordakin. These reforms are listed below, under the three norms.

 

Essential Beliefs of the Faith

All denominations that claim to be a part of the Faith as a denomination must follow these essential beliefs.

 

-I-

As per the teachings of Urguan Silverbeard, Yemekar created all beings in existence.

 

-II-

As per the teachings of Urguan Silverbeard, the Brathmordakin are Anbella, Dungrimm, Belka, Ogradhad, Armakak, Grimdugan. Yemekar is also considered part of the pantheon and has a Brathmordakin form, he reigns as the Head of the pantheon.

 

-III-

As per the teachings of Urguan Silverbeard, Khorvad is the fallen Brathmordakin. 

 

-IV-

As per the teachings of Fili Grandaxe, Khorvad, and Iblees are two distinct entities, and both cause imbalance.

 

-V-

As per the teachings of Urguan Silverbeard, all dwedohim reach Kaz’A’Dentrumm to be judged by Dungrimm to see if they can enter the hall of the dead.

 

-VI-

As per the teachings of the first High Prophet Khazrad Strongbrow and Urguan Silverbeard, when a dwarf enters Kaz’A’Dentrumm they enter the Auction of the Dead, where they are bided upon by the Brathmordakin.

 

-VII-

As per the teachings of Urguan Silverbeard, the dwarves are the holiest of the mortal creations of Yemekar 

 

-VIII-

The beard is a holy manifestation of Yemekar’s favor to the dwarves, as per the teachings of Urguan Silverbeard.

 

-IX-

Killing a being with a dwedohim is kinslaying and a betrayal of the dwarven covenant with Yemekar.

 

-X-

The dwarves are charged with the upkeeping of Yemekar’s Balance as explained by the teachings of High Prophet Morgrim Grandaxe. This comes to be as the holy duty of dwarves to stand for balance in creation, and to fight uncontrolled imperialism in the mortal world, among other Khorvadic influences.

 

-XI-

The dwarven faiths are collectively known as the Faith of the Brathmordakin, formally established as far back as Archbishop Alric Blackaxe.

 

-XII-

No individual dwarf can claim to know the full knowledge of Yemekar’s blueprint of creation as only Yemekar himself is privy to such knowledge. Thus claiming to have this knowledge is  claiming to be Yemekar, and therefore is inherently heretical.

 

-XIII-

Dividing the dwarven race due to differences of practice or perspective, when those differences do not disturb the key elements of the faith, is detrimental to the ability of the dwarven race to keep Yemekar’s Balance.

Claiming more legitimacy or authority over matters of Faith, and/or denigrating the legitimacy of other denominations. 

 

-III-

Shattering the Faith.

Causing division within the Faith of the Brathmordakin, failing to promote dwarven cooperation or failing to uphold the essential beliefs of this Covenant.

-I-

Breaking the essential beliefs of the Covenant will cause a trial to take place to judge the individual or sect in question to determine whether their teachings that contradict the covenant are derived from ignorance or Khorvadic influence. 

 

-II-

Individuals or groups that break the covenant out of ignorance will have their members join other denominations under the Faith of the Brathmordakin.

 

-III-

"Ho-Hoom!" gruffs the Low Hall keeper. She drags deep on cigar & plumes sin's smog out from stoney nostrils. 

"So, at last it is as settled as Stone."

She returns to her divining gems; ruby & sapphire.
