Form of Worship: Worship takes place at the forge, notably centred around crafting weapons and armour from steel or mithral.The most sacred steel is tempered in virgin snow on Orenday, the first full moon after midwinter (This is somewhat practical, Orenday literally means “Cold-day”, it is on this day that the snow would be best for tempering steel).
Typical Worshippers: Dwarves
Appearance: Dwerfater (or Dwurfater) appears as an ancient dwarf, whose beard is the color of mithral and touches the ground at his feet. He always wears a blackened leather apron over a coat of mithral mail and always carries his mighty warhammer Noolhamr (Literally: “Maker’s Hammer”).
History: Dwerfater is one of the oldest gods of the Stoneheart Valley. The mountains around Tarren’s Junction in the north and Doren’s Hold in the south are so full of gems, minerals and ores that it is easy to see whyDwerfater had such a strong following.It is believed that Dwerfater himself hammered the Stoneheart Valley into shape as the world was born.
Relationships: Dwerfater has no known affiliations with the other gods of the Stoneheart Valley, but is said to have forged one item for each of the other Lawful Good gods of the Stoneheart Valley, namely Mitra, Muir, Thyr and Kel.
Emissaries, Favored and Chosen: Dwerfater, ever practical often appears personally to oversee great works or to impart wisdom to his subjects. It’s said that every time a crowd of over a thousand dwarves gathers to start a new mine or for the unveiling of a new great work,Dwerfater will be somewhere in the crowd.
There have been sightings of dwarven angels bearing Dwerfater’s holy symbol, but his emissaries are far more likely to instruct and assist than they are to directly intervene. There are many dwarven folk stories among artisans of stranger appearing to help them at a crucial moment in a grand project, only to vanish once it is complete.
There is no known chosen of Dwerfater, and very few favored. The land itself and productive days spent in mines and at the forge are usually considered a gift enough.
The Church of Dwerfater: Dwerfater is almost exclusively worshipped by dwarves, but those raised by dwarven parents or in a hold or mine often take up worship as a matter of course. There are few priests (compared to other religions), as prayer and productive work are considered to be much the same. Clerics make up nearly 90% of all priests, with paladins making up the remainder.
To be a cleric of Dwerfater means to assist, teach and advise to uphold the magnificence of the dwarven race. This means not only helping the hold wherever possible, but clerics of Dwerfater are also expected to be craftsmen in their own right, and to spend some time crafting or mining and to set an example for other dwarves to follow.
To be a paladin of Dwerfater means embodying the very best of dwarves and dwarven culture.Dwerfater set out to create a land perfect for dwarves to thrive, and sometimes that means purging a place of evil or chaos. Paladins of Dwerfater are expected to be fearless and implacable. The paladin’s code is a little different from more martial or ‘holy’ deities.A typical temple to Dwerfater will be a masterwork forge or runeforge, often with an attached library or study hall so that the skills of artisans can be passed on. It’s also common to build shrines to Dwerfater near particularly pretty patterns of mineral veins, or at the first mithril vein found in a mountain.
Burial Rights: The dead are buried in a tomb that is clearly marked, and the dead are left with some personal possessions and often with small crafts made in their honor. Useful possessions of the deceased, like their tools or weapons are never buried with them, as that is considered wasteful and disrespectful. Instead, a dead dwarves armour or tools are passed down and are used wherever possible. Many dwarves proudly claim to have a possession that is many thousands of years old, although repairing or even reforging these items is common practice. It’s not unusual to have an axe that is thousands of years old, although no single part of it is any more than a hundreds years old. 
(“Thesues’s Paradox” would be considered ignorance, rather than philosophy)
Holy relics: As noted before, any object that has passed down the generations is considered blessed, as are all great works. It is almost unknown for Dwerfater to give a physical object to a follower; to do so would be more of a direct insult than a blessing.
Noolhamr is the most famous object ever crafted by Dwerfater, among the other items forged for the gods. Thyr’s hammer, Kel’s shield, Mitra’s longsword and Muir’s bastard sword are also said to be relics of Dwerfater
Paladin’s code:
A paladin lives by the spirit of the code, not by the letter itself.
“In the greatest enterprise, that is my life as a dwarf and a loyal servant ofDwerfater, I shall give my oath that I will serve Dwerfater above all other concerns; although I need not offend other gods to do so.
I will serve my Lord or Lady above any other being; although I need not swear an oath to them, any oath I swear or promise I make I shall keep.
I will not leave a place made worse by my own hand; although I will seek to improve all works in which I have a hand.
I will uphold the honor of the Dwarven people and their land; although I will seek no reward for carrying out my oath.
I will fight for the welfare of all, although I will eschew all destruction without betterment.”
The oath is given when a paladin is accepted into the order. This is the core of what separates a paladin from a fighter. What is unusual about this particular code is the lack of a clause about fighting honorably; Dwerfaterand his followers are very pragmatic, although cruelty is despised.Replacing it is the clause about improvement; leaving destruction in one’s wake is considered incredibly disrespectful to the land that Dwerfater has blessed.
