Blerred (BLAIR-ed) posses many superficial features that are dwarvish; he is short in stature, with dark hair and beard (though the beard is not overly long), and a small round face that gives him a kind of "squinty" look; making him appear perpetually angry (or perhaps perplexed). He wears plate mail and wields a warhammer, Fury, thought to be the inspiration for the first hammers of thunderbolts forged by humans.. Many dwarven miners and smiths will offer tribute to Blerred, but very rarely will one directly worship or serve as a cleric of the Power. Blerred’s worshippers is composed almost exclusively of human miners and smiths.

The earth's gifts are there for the taking, and creating a perfect suit of armour or flawless weapon is a goal to which all war-crafters should aspire. Mining and smithy-work is not for the weak, so those that worship Blerred should be strong in mind and body, for the weak will forges a weak weapon. Anyone with the talent for this craft should be taught it, and those who keep secret more efficient or effective ways of finding or working metal will be punished.

Services to Blerred often take place within a mine. During sermons, points are often accentuated with the strike of a hammer (usually against an anvil). Offerings to this Power usually consist of some unearthed treasure from deep within the mines.

The clerics of Blerred cooperates in efforts of mining and metal smithing with the community. Most all clerics of Blerred have some skill in smithing and/or mining. In many instances they coordinate such efforts. They are not a terribly social clergy, as most of their time is spent either in the forge or in the mines. Still in all, they are appreciated and admired by the community for their contributions and diligent work ethic. This work ethic is stressed over and over again by the clerics in their teachings and sermons.
