Their souls come from the Material Plane and return to the Material Plane. The various unique mineral patterns are dwarves, the humanlike apparitions are projections from the minerals.Then the theistic Moradin religion would be a specific culture whose ideology established an enclave within the mindscape of the Astral Plane. In other words, most Dwarven cultures have nothing to do with the Astral Plane, but the Moradin culture does. Generally, referring to animistic ancestors as the 'Old Religion', and the polytheistic gods, priests, and temples as the 'New Religion', works well enough. An individual Druid might belong to either one.</blockquote>
