"The
Master Smith"
God of Fire,
Craft, and Craftsmanship
"Lay me on an anvil, Master Smith. Beat me and hammer me into a
steel spike that thou might have use for me."
-- Oranian Prayer for Guidance and
Strength
 
Priests of Oranus often
travel the world, searching out new inventions in far-away places.
When not on the road, the priests of the Master Smith often
support themselves by crafting and selling high-quality
manufactured goods, like swords, bells, armor, lenses,
leathergoods, furniture and so on (the common population of
Taranche tends to believe that he is the "blacksmith's god", but
in truth he supports all of the tradecrafts). They also
invest in and support promising young craftsmen just starting
out in their trade.
The Church of Oranus
is charged with making the theoretical real; the Master Smith's
priests are responsible for all of the notable technological
innovations over the past several thousand years. Stored
in the locked vaults of Oranus' temples are inventions ahead of
their time, created by priests of the Master Smith but forbidden
by the god to be released for the now.
Oranus is also seen
as the god of fire; in this, his domain is fire as a tool rather
than as a rampaging force.
Also Known As: Friming (Chayk),
Uverass (Khazak)
Dogma:
Question and challenge the unknown with new ideas and new
invention. If its worth doing, its worth doing well.
Trust the worker and not the worker's tools. Patience is
the virtue of the wise craftsman. Hard work never hurt
anyone. Effort is its own reward.

A hammer striking an anvil.
