Taniger, God of Dwarves and Forging, is your typical, everyday dwarf. He is grumpy, he works hard, and protects what is his with every ounce of his being. His people are crafters and he takes pride in craftmanship well done. Thus why he is so proud of the dwarves for they are fine artisans and blacksmiths. He values innocence and his dwarves, though withdrawn, are often found protecting those who follow Aiyana or are innocent all in themselves. He looks like an older dwarf, usually in armorers attire, though sometimes sailors clothes. His favorite avatar is an armorsmith in Astadi by the name of Kon Boonsteady.
Some generic roleplaying mechanics are as follows: His Mages wear the attire of blacksmiths, right down to the thick leather aprons. They carry warhammers as their weapons and they bare the symbol of a warhammer upon their person.
Alignment (If your system calls for such things): Lawful Good. If every there was a God who followed the rules, it was Taniger. Which makes his friendship with Targon all the more mystifying.
His followers include most, if not all dwarves and craftsman of any race.
Taniger created dwarves and a race of small ones (this would be halflings in most worlds), but the small ones died out a thousand years before the Chosen. The reason is unknown.
His Mages are charged with finding knew ideas for crafts and trades. But their biggest responsibility while with a group of dwarves on a patrol or mission is healing and repairing armor. Though good craftsman, they are also excellent fighters and battle is just important to them. Their temples always include a forge and usually small painting/crafting areas. Proceeds from crafts and items are used for upkeep. The temple themselves are usually very defensible and made of stone.
He gets along with all the Gods, even the dark Gods, save Dasa. He loves innocence and tries hard to protect Aiyana and Pezuta from harm. And he will fight to his last breath to stop Kahalla, if need be.
Tomorrow: Tymara, Goddess of the Sun
