Muamman Duathal - Dwarven - Priests - Gods

Muamman is the protector of adventurers, travelers, "expatriates" in nondwarven or mixed communities, and all those dwarves who travel or live far from the dwarven homelands. His is a growing cult in those worlds where many dwarves have become urban dwellers, and he may be evolving into an Intermediate God. His secondary aspect is unique among dwarves as a god of lightning, which he often uses as an omen. He is on good terms with Dugmaren, and the theme of traveling to gain knowledge is a shared concern of the gods.

Role-playing Notes:

Muamman sometimes sends his avatar to aid as a guide, or to warn urban dwarves of trouble brewing in the homelands. More often, he sends omens in the form of lightning, subsidence on trails, sudden rockfalls, or by priestly divination through stone-flinging (the pattern of a fist is a common sign).
