Vora

Vora is the dwarven goddess of rivers, creation and wisdom. She is worshipped as one of the creators of the dwarves.

The myths
According to the myths Sythar, the god of volcanoes and war, had created the dwarves as mindless slaves. Vora pitied them and allowed them to drink from her waters. Giving them life and a piece of her wisdom. In return the dwarves built a great temple in her honor.

This angered Sythar and he went on a rampage, destroying the temple in his fury. This in turn angered Vora and the two gods battled each other. The battle raged on for eight weeks and five days. Eventually Vora led Sythar into a trap and killed him.

Sythar's wife Fari was struck with grief and demanded Vora be punished. The other gods agreed and Vora was banished for slaying one of their kin.

Worshippers
The mountain dwarves are forbidden by law to worship her. The seafaring dwarves however have no such law and she is very popular among them. They even named one of their cities after her, Vorahym.

One cult takes this a step further and worship only her while denouncing the other dwarven gods. Legends say Vora rewards these cultists by bestowing a piece of her divine wisdom upon them. And upon their deaths they become one with her.
