Dranos — Lord of the Forge

Sacred Color: Ember‑red
Symbol: Hammer striking a rune‑etched anvil
Common Shrine/Temple: Forge‑temples, dwarven oath‑halls, smithy‑altars
Divine Law: “A forged oath is unbreakable.”

Worshippers: Dwarves of Frosthelm, smiths, merchants
Lore: His eternal forge burns beneath the Dragon’s Teeth. Dwarves swear life‑binding oaths before his flame.

Cosmic Form: A colossal being of molten iron and obsidian stands within a cavern the size of mountains. His body glows from within, fissures of magma tracing runes across his chest and arms. A hammer the size of a fortress rests in his grasp, striking an anvil carved from the bones of extinct gods. Each blow sends shockwaves through the cavern, shaping mountains and veins of ore above.

Chains of glowing runes coil around his limbs, binding the flame within him. Rivers of molten metal flow from his feet, forming the forges of Frosthelm far above. Dwarven silhouettes kneel in reverence, their faces lit by the Titan’s eternal flame.
