Moradin, The Allfather

History

The two Primordial Gods Bahamut and Moradin were born at the beginning of all things, when the Primogenitor God Atlas gave his life to birth reality and the Planes. Born as brothers, the two gods are naturally close and highly friendly with each other as they have existed together since the dawn of time itself. Though they sometimes bicker and quarrel as is the wont for brothers to do, they are nonetheless closely aligned with each other and get along well.

Relationship Reasoning

Born of the dying primogenitor god Atlas, Bahamut and Moradin are beings born of the same flesh and the same divine source, and as such are naturally in tune with each other. They spent the beginning of time shaping creation itself, and since then they have only strengthened their bonds as the lords of all Divine Pantheons and all Gods. They both harbor a strong desire to see good upheld, and both are overwhelming forces for keeping goodness alive and protecting reality from those who would destabilize it.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

Both brothers believe in good, protecting life, and seeing all life and reality prosper and flourish. Both believe in letting mortal races act according to their own wants and needs, but guiding them from a distance and letting them live their own lives in hands-off manners, for to them, if they, as divine beings, dictated the lives of their followers the sanctity of what they have worked for eons to create would be lost, as free-will is paramount to them even if it leads mortal races to bad situations or scenarios.

History

During the events of The Jotunhunts, Thor was the first of the Giant Gods to fall beneath the hammer of Moradin as he and his Dwarves marched to war against the Giant gods and their Giant followers. Fighting the Allhammer with all of his furious might to defend his family and followers, Thor was sadly slain after Moradin tricked him into sacrificing himself to spare his family and followers. Deprived of his warriors death, Thor died to Moradin's trickery and died screaming, furious, cursing the name of Moradin and his followers...he is said to yearn even now, beyond the Divine Grave, for justice and a warrior's death.

History

The second of the Giant Gods to die beneath the hammer of Moradin during The Jotunhunts, Odin had until his death been the genius tactician and leader of the Giant Pantheon, and almost single handedly was keeping Moradin and his Dwarves from truly claiming victory over them after the death of Thor...yet, in a daring plot, Moradin and his children Gods infiltrated Valhalla and slew Odin in his throne room before his wife, Freyja, leaving her alive as a savage reminder to the Giants of their past. With his death, only the daring Baldr remained alive, and the Giants had all but lost.

History

The last of the Giant Gods to fall in The Jotunhunts, Baldr, the greatest and most noble of all his kin, was also the most powerful. Though his followers were in ruins and his Divine family all but shattered, Baldr fought with a fury and nobility that even great Moradin could not match. Even after the deaths of Thor and Odin, Baldr fought on for two months, so invincible that even Moradin could not scratch his body. Instead, while Moradin held him off in Battle, the other Dwarven Gods took to the Material Plane and slew all his followers, to the very last...and once his faith had vanished, Moradin held Baldr the Beautiful down until he vanished from the world, no longer capable of existing without his faith. Thus, The Jotunhunts ended with the death of Baldr, most brave and noble of all the Giant Gods.

History

Though all Giants can be said to have a reasonable grudge against Moradin, The Allfather, Patron of all Dwarvenkind whose reckless, arrogant actions led directly to The Jotunhunts, none can be said to carry a hatred as burning as Sigrid Grimr - Warmaster of Aslauge Daenic and Inheritor of the will of Thor, The Stormson.   Having recovered and reclaimed the legendary spear Bysmir once used by Moradin, The Allfather to skewer and slay Thor, The Stormson during the waning days of The Jotunhunts, Sigrid has long made public her open hatred of the God of the Dwarves and her desire to repay the grudge her patron deity Thor, The Stormson has kept even beyond the Godgrave for so many untold millennia - a rage which has permeated not only across time but had subsumed the mighty weapon Bysmir and proved so lethal to all who dared try to wield it before her.   While her actions in the formation of The Kingdom of Aslaga undoubtedly earned her the ire of The Allfather, Sigrid earned the personal hatred of The Allfather during the age of Troubles when she, alongside Aslauge Daenic and her Warband, were confronted by the Dwarven Deity for their transgression and, against all odds, managed to fight him long enough to allow for Freyja, The Godkiller to join the fight and defeat him - yet, even then, when her allies in the Warband allowed their newly arrived Patron Goddess to handle the bulk of the fighting from then on, Sigrid did nothing of the sort; Instead, Sigrid threw herself into the melee between Gods and managed to personally lay low The Allfather while working in concert with Freyja herself(Though Sigrid had been possessed by the echo of her Patron God's divinity, which aided her in the fight between Gods) - proving instrumental in his defeat such that were it not for her own mind being nearly consumed by the eternal rage of Thor that took hold of her in the fight's final moments, she would have assuredly ground the head of The Allfather into paste beneath her invincible azure soles.   As such, while the warband of Aslauge Daenic each played parts in his defeat, none played as big a role as Sigrid herself - who very nearly lost herself to the undying rage of Thor, The Stormson in the battle during which she is purported to have dealt a grevious wound to the Allfather(Not to mention insulted him countless times during the fight) that he will not soon forget.   Now, the two eagerly await their opportunity for a rematch - each lusting for the death of the other.
