Erigrim (Elders, Eternal Ones). The first Dwarf to make himself a god was the Allfather Agamor. Soon to follow was his Battle Master Gort and the Rune Keeper Toreval. All the Ancestors were once mortals, who found power and divinity as they battled the Old Ones.

The Erigrim changed little in appearance since their ascension. They are each identified by their personal rune that they wear on their clothing and by the saintly halo on their heads. They appear individually or in groups to their followers.

Common Worship

Dwarves have a very strong sense of heritage and racial community. As such they all tend to revere the Erigrim as divine ancestors regardless of their other religious beliefs.

The pantheon is considered a union, as all Dwarves are kin no matter from which clan or country they originate. It is therefore common for Dwarves to consider all of them equally, even when choosing a single Kazmukzakäl (god-elder) as their clan Paragon.

As for Durathor, it is rare for a Dwarf to consider him a direct patron, as his worship is generally considered in contrast to the Dwarven morality. Reverence of him is reserved for the denizens of the Reilagg - Ash-skinned Gray Dwarves and their Corrupted kin. He is however regarded as one of the Kazmukzakällen (god-elders) and respect is given to his name. It is particularly useful to his name to scare would be troublemakers, including naughty children as a warning of what is to come of those who disregard their honour and duty.
