Grungni
From Lexicanum
Grungni is one of the three chief Ancestor Gods of the Dwarfs alongside Grimnir (Grungni's brother) and Valaya (Grungni's wife).
Grungni is the god of mining and smiths, and is the most important god to the Dwarfs. In Dwarf lore he was the first to delve into the rock, to mine the ores and smelt them into metals, which he taught the Dwarfs. In this way he gave the Dwarfs the tools and the means to defend themselves against their enemies.
Grungni is both an artisan and a warrior god. His main credo is oath and honour, upon which Dwarf society is built. His greatest shrine is located at the hold of Karak Azul.
Grungni's sons are Smednir, the Shaper of Ore, and Thungni, Ancestor God of Runesmiths.
