Dwarven

Ancestor Worship

{ReligiousDescription|religion=ancestor_worship|description=The Dwarves have a great semi-mythologized history of various heroes, kings, and ancestors dating back to their creation by Halanna the Earth-Mother in the Tree of Stone caves. It is said that a hall of a hundred storytellers couldn't tell the full Dwarven folklore even if they had a hundred years to do it, and every hold has their own stories that are kept in carefully kept records. At one point, these stories were part of a wider belief in a dwarven pantheon, but most dwarves have lost their faith in the gods long ago as Aul-Dwarov fell, while the fall of that great empire only left behind more tragedies and tales of grandeur. While the great ancestors are worshipped and revered, they are not gods; they are reminders of what simple dwarven ingenuity, bravery and wisdom can achieve. Inspired by the heroes of old, many dwarves look towards the Dwarovar, All-Dwarves-Home, in order to reclaim the history and lands they have lost.}
