The Dwarves of the impaled rift largely worship a small section of the pantheon, and have changed some of the portfolio of the Gods to fit their needs. To all non-surface/non-farmer dwarves, Kanne Godx of farming, plant life, crop health, etc, has been merged with Cristifiano, who existed in a similar area as Kanne, but also handled mining, ore processing, jewels is an outside of the pantheon and only came on for outside of the holds as Dwarves and Haflings worship (NAME) for this god

*Marozia (Ceyae) represents Craftsmanship, not art for the Dwarves and Haflings.

Impaled Rift subraces

Red-Blooded Dwarf

• - Known as “Red blooders” or “The Reddies”, these Dwarves are unique in the fact that they intermingled with Infernal society, creating a unique and unusual line of Dwarven Kin who looked similar to many types of Tiefling. There were a variety of skin tones, eye colours, horns, tails, and special abilities that came along with them. From an ability to manipulate fire, to the ability to create fire at will, these Dwarves have a unique and spiritual connection to the element. What happened to them in the end, no one is sure. The Dwarven account says they vanished, or were killed off. But no one has a formal record.

High Blooded Dwarf

• Known as “High Blooded” or “The High Blood”, these Dwarves intermingled with Elves at some point and created a syncratic bloodline of Hardy smiths with a unique ability to enchant, and create like no other. The Dwarves of the mountain found this threatening, and decided it wasn’t worth letting them live. It’s rumoured that the Elves had taken in some of the High Bloods and sheltered them, allowing them to hide, and intermingle with their people. But no one knows for sure, as the elves of that area aren’t inclined to say. The Dwarven account says they vanished, or were killed off. But no one has a formal record.
