The Brathmordakin

The Brathmordakin are the Dwarven Gods, the divine rulers of the race. There are nine Dwarven gods with Yemekar, the creator, as the strongest and the de facto leader.

When a Dwarf dies, his soul travels to Dungrimm’s keep on the moon where it is auctioned off to the god who bids the highest for it. A Dwarf that has faithfully served their god in life will have a much greater chance of bought by and serving that god in the afterlife.
