From World of Kralis

Dwarven Father, God of Death and Life

Kuuirgen is the dwarven god of Death and Life. He is also called the Dwarven Father as dwarven tradition holds that he was the one that created the dwarven race.

He is the main deity in the dwarven religion and pantheon. He is said to have shared powers with Elal, but it is widely believed by non-dwarven priests that Kuuirgen is Elal in dwarven form. A point that many dwarves give reason to fight over.

Dogma and Tenets

Followers of Kuuirgan follow a strict believe that without death there cannot be birth, without destruction there cannot be creation and that without war there can be no peace.

Kuurigan's teachings focus on the fact that all things have a beginning and an end. The time spent between the two is what defines a dwarves life. A dwarf can shelter himself or dare to take risks knowing that his next action could result in his very death or demise.

This has given to the believe within dwarven culture that life is nothing more than a series of moments and that each moment should be lived to the fullest. This, however, does not mean that this is an excuse to be reckless or without thought.
