Editing Dumathoin (section)

==1st Edition==
Detailed, as mentioned above, in [[Dragon Magazine]] #58, Dumathoin is the protector of the mountains, the earth, and all its secrets; metals and gemstones are his gift to the world. He is a silent, unspeaking god, reserving his wisdom for himself.

He is considered the protector of the mountain dwarves subrace, a position which led to the downfall of [[Abbathor]] and which he didn't exactly like at first. As a matter of fact, he was pissed off when he saw the dwarves start to "destroy" the mountains he had created for them, but his rage was soothed and changed to admiration when he saw the beautiful objects they crafted from the metal they had mined. Thus, he became the patron god of mining... but, whilst he does not object to tunneling, mining, or keeping treasures underground, he ''does'' object to those who plunder the earth's riches and take them away for unfair or selfish purposes. And dwarves are not exempt from this displeasure.

For this reason, Dumathoin does maintain friendly relations with a few non-dwarven deities, mostly connected to metalcraft and earth. As such, his mortal followers are sometimes involved in business ventures based around selling metals, ores and stone.

Dumathoin appears as a dwarf whose skin is earth brown, whose eyes are silver fire, and whose hair and beard are made of gray stone. He wields a two-handed mattock of solidified magma.
