Borrod

Borrod is the Deity of matter and patron of the Dwarves on Vishan.

History
According to the Vishan creation myth, Borrod was the third Diety to be awakened by the threat of Shivaeris. As he was awakened by the light of Ptahtum, he manifested matter in order to parry a lethal strike of Shivaeris to Ptahtum and Kalivastana. This manifested matter became Vishan itself. Borrod is honored as the most stable and stern of the Deities. .

As Shivaeris was locked away, along with the Deities, his jailers, Borrod formed its own people, the Dwarves, into what they are now, but its grapple with Shivaeris tainted the gift of the Borrod, infecting most Dwarves with the Corruption of Shivaeris. The infected gained rocky or metallic skins, and an innate sense of the value of things.
