# Starfinder Lore ## Dieties: Torag und Angradd [Background zu Torag](https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Torag) [Background zu Angradd](https://www.aonsrd.com/Deities.aspx?ItemName=Angradd) ### Torag Torag (pronounced TORR-awg)is a stoic and serious god who values honor, planning, and well-made steel. He is an often distant deity, lending magical power to his clerics, but leaving his followers to make their own way through life, knowing that this will make them strong and determined. #### History During the Age of Creation, Torag was among the original gods who battled the Rough Beast who sought to destroy Golarion. He and Gorum forged the shell of the Dead Vault, which would serve as Rovagug's prison after his defeat. The dwarves believe that Torag created the world at his great forge, striking it again and again with his hammer to get the shape he desired. As rocks tumbled and the sparks flew, the dwarves were born, made of stone with bellies full of fire. These dwarves were created deep in the Darklands and were perfectly suited to their environment. Torag ruled them justly for centuries, and they worked hard to be worthy of his approval. He gave them a single prophecy: that one day the earth would shake, and they would leave their darkened homes to press upwards in a Quest for Sky. When Earthfall struck in -5293 AR, the dwarves took this as the fulfillment of their prophecy, and began the centuries-long migration to Golarion's surface. #### Dogma Torag condemns suicide, and the souls of his worshipers who take their own lives are condemned to Avernus, the first circle of Hell. ### Angradd LG god of dwarves, fire, tradition, war The patron god of the dwarves, Torag, vanished along with Golarion during the Gap, leaving his younger brother Angradd to assume guardianship of the dwarven race. Aggressive and militaristic, Angradd exhorts the dual importance of upholding ancient dwarven traditions and fighting to preserve them.
