Gar B'ahrz

Gar B'ahrz is the regional deity of craft in the Frosthold. In the Udur tongue the name "Gar" has been adopted as a title for the masters of their craft, in honor of the deity. B'ahrz is translated best to English as "Deft-handed One". Gar B'ahrz is revered in the north as the supreme craftsman. It is said that by his hand many ancient and powerful weapons like the Broken Blade Ulfberght, the legendary hammer Phroem, and the mighty bow Fjltindas. So to are attributed mighty armors, tapestries which do not age. He even inspired the giantfolk of the frozen north with the spark which led to the creation of the mighty bulwork that is the Frosthold and its imposing walls.

Gar B'ahrz's doctrine is not complicated. To all who practice their craft with love and a song in their hearts or on their lips, Gar B'ahrz grants inspiration and skill. Gar B'ahrz has no formal places for worship. For him, each forge is a temple, each sewing needle is a holy instrument, and each cooking pot is filled with his holy water. Craftsmen of the north venerate him in their structures, and the keystones of most doorways and the mantles of most hearths in the north are inscribed with the makers's mark of Gar B'ahrz.
