Vergadain - Dwarven - Priests - Gods
Vergadain is the patron deity of dwarf merchants and most non-evil dwarven thieves (some would say this is the same thing). He is something of a poet also, and no one's fool; he can evaluate treasures perfectly, and has the skills of a great con-man. He will use any non-harmful trickery to achieve his own ends. He delights in his magnificent collection of objets dart and jewellery, in his mansion on the Plane of Concordant Opposition.
Role-playing Notes:
Vergadain may dispatch an avatar to acquire some treasure he fears may fall into the wrong hands, or to guide his priests to that treasure. His omens are runs of bad luck, bad coinage cropping up in one's purse, a snake left in a sack (a symbol of one of Vergadain's own wiliest con tricks), and unexpected fortunate discoveries.

Duties of the Priesthood
Vergadain's priests include thief/priests. They encourage trade with other races-but always to the benefit of dwarves. They never steal from other dwarves, although "Vergadain's portion" can be appropriated from other races without their permission. The priesthood is expected to be personally wealthy, and to maintain temples in excellent style. It is allowed for priests and followers to hide their reverence on occasion, since few people knowledgeable about this cult are very happy at conducting transactions and deals with them.
