I suppose I should clarify that the Tales of Engelain is not necessarily accurate from time to time, dependant on the writer of the entries. It is also completely non-compulsory for anyone in ITF to read, it's just a little something extra for anyone who is wanting to find out more about the setting. If anyone is interested in adding to the setting, and is a roleplayer/has been a roleplayer on a previous or current thread of mine, then do feel free.

What is the Dwarven religion?

I had Joric reference Tyrus and Janus at some points, but that was because I assumed everyone worshipped them since no alternative explanation was provided. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

As of yet, somewhat undefined. Part of the Engelite mythology states that the Engelite dwarves died out millennia ago in the grand war between Tyrrus and Soahc, when Soahc still retained the powers of a god, and therefore the dwarves of today are considered outsiders and non-natives from alternative countries/continents/islands etc. As such, it's more than possible that they have their own gods from their own culture back home, or, if it turns out there is no difference between the Engelite dwarves of the past and those of the present, perhaps isolation lead them to worshipping new gods, or maybe they have amalgamated the gods of the region they're in.

Which is a long way of saying I don't know, haha. Feel free to set your own terms, you being the resident dwarf-RPer. The dwarves in Engelain are based roughly off of those in Tolkien's works, which were nomadic and often drifted from place to place rather than having a permanent settlement. But this is one of the many things I left open for roleplayers to make their own decisions about, because I was wanting to vaguely define a world to roleplay within and then allow everyone to contribute to it in one way or another.

An example would be Oakfoot, the place that Soahc and the gang so recently decimated, was originally mentioned in Venom's first post as Zeddicus Spector. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire
