Fortubo is the god of Stone, Metals, Mountains, and Guardianship. Originally a member of the Suel pantheon, Fortubo abandoned the Suloise upon discovering that the Suel were behind the creation of the derro. Fortubo now favors dwarves above any other race, and has relatively few human worshipers. Fortubo's holy symbol is a warhammer with a glowing head, though any hammer will serve.
Description
Fortubo appears as a short, bearded Suel human with more than a passing resemblance to a dwarf. He wields a great hammer named Golbi, said to be a gift from Moradin himself.
Relationships
Fortubo is a close ally of Moradin, Berronar Truesilver, and other good dwarven deities. Fortubo avoids all other gods save for his brother, the Suel deity Jascar. He is a foe of the derro and their god, Diirinka.
Realm
Fortubo's realm in Solania, the fourth of the Seven Heavens, is called the Empyrean Delve.
Worshippers
The faith of Fortubo is most popular in Irongate, Onnwal, Sterich, Sunndi, and the Yeomanry.
Clergy
Fortubo's priests are nearly always dwarven. The priesthood welcomes both male and female priests, especially married couples. The children of married pairs of Fortuban priests are said to be blessed with exceptional endurance and insight. The priests of Fortubo focus chiefly on the protection of dwarven communities. They are intense foes of orcs and goblins, as they feel these beings harm the earth with their pointless tunneling.
Temples
Up until 583 CY, the chief temple of Fortubo's faith was in the town of Dwarfhaven on Lendore Isle. It is assumed that the faith moved its headquarters to another location after the elven followers of Sehanine Moonbow took control of Lendore Isle in that year.
