Gildrolin
Gildrolin is primarily the God of Creativity, Craftsmanship, and Trade. In the early days of Eltharia's creation, Gildrolin created the dwarves, instilling within them their industriousness and innate talents of craftsmanship. Gildrolin aided the earliest dwarves by teaching them the art of mining and fostered their love of the secrets of the deep earth; gold, silver, precious stones, and other treasures that could be conjured from the deep depths of the world with a steady pick-axe and hard labor. For this, he is often referred to as the Dwarf-Father, and nearly all dwarves pay some form of respect to Gildrolin, even if he is not their chief deity of worship.
It is said that every few hundred years, Gildrolin will approach the most talented and renowned dwarven craftsman and offer to take them as an apprentice. If the craftsman accepts, The Gilded King takes them to The Eternal Forge upon the peak of Mount Kimgolor. There, the Dwarf-Father helps his chosen apprentice hone his craft even further, before sending him or her back to their home to share their knowledge and works with their brethren. Dwarves that have apprenticed under Gilrolin are regarded in high honor within dwarven society.
