Marthammor Duin (Mar-THAM-more DOO-ihn), known on other worlds as Muamman Duathal (Moo-AM-man Doo-AHthuhl), is the protector of dwarves who make their lives in human society in the North, rather than keeping to mountain or deep-delve enclaves. Commonly known as Wanderers, all such dwarves make offerings to him in appeasement for good fortune. Marthammor is the patron of adventurers and explorers and all those dwarves who travel or live far from the dwarven homelands, allowing them to find routes to escape or to victory in their travels. He also watches over dwarven craftsfolk of any good alignment, keeping their homes and persons safe. His secondary aspect as god of lightning is unique among dwarves. The Finder-of-Trails is a growing cult in the North, and he may be evolving into an intermediate power. {Demihuman Deities, 2nd edition}The reference to him being Muamman Duathal means he also appeared in Monster MythologyMuamman is the protector of adventurers, travelers, “expatriates” in non-dwarven or mixed communities, and all those dwarves who travel or live far from the dwarven homelands. His is a growing cult in those worlds where many dwarves have become urban dwellers, and he may be evolving into an Intermediate God. His secondary aspect is unique among dwarves: as a god of lightning, which he often uses as an omen. He is on good terms with Dugmaren, and the theme of traveling to gain knowledge is a shared concern of these gods. {Monster Mythology, 2nd edition}So he thematically fits for a gold dwarf priest who wandered north. Much better than yet-another-priest-of-Moradin.</blockquote>
