Beliefs: \m/

Dallion (Church of the Smith, Forged Ones): The universe is raw material, we are raw material, but it and we can be forged to perfection. We are malleable like metal, subject to the forces around us, but we can become brittle or flawed. We must avoid that by being careful. Be as strong as steel by being like an alloy--mix your nature. The universe can be forged by us as it forges us. Be resolute, rigid, strong. Temper it. Forge it as you will.

Afterlife:

Forged Ones believe that every life is a time on the forge, a time that they are being forged. When they are reincarnated, they are tempered further, until eventually they reach a time when they are perfect. They believe that if they are broken on the forge of life, they will be cast off into a limbo where nothing ever happens, and that the greatest of the Forged Ones ascend to the Hall of Steel, where they are feasted for their greatness and await the time the world needs beings so great as they are. In this realm, they become the perfect tools of their Divine, having been forged into a perfect understanding of the world. They also believe that their mortal forms become one with the metals of the world.
