Thardanor
Membership alignment: Lawful good, lawful neutral, neutral good, neutral, chaotic good.
Thardanor is the dwarfish name for the Church of Danethrae. In the dwarfish tongue the church is called "Tyard-Annar", and historically some delves have also use the name "Czakzan-Annar". As this arm of the church provides spiritual support for The Dwarves, there is a strong focus on dwarfish life, but apart from that the fundamental teaching is the same. As with Danethrae, it supports the knightly virtues of honour, truth, purity and humility. It's clerics are mostly lawful-good but can also be lawful-neutral or neutral-good.
Membership of the cult is aimed at dwarfs of the above three alignments. True neutral and chaotic-good will also be accepted provided they conform to the viewpoint of the church, at least on matters where the church is involved.
The church's clerics are expected to fight to defend their beliefs against the works of evil. Warriors of all types who are members are expected to fight against evil wherever possible, openly attacking those who consort with evil if necessary. The cult's concept of evil refers mainly to chaotic-and-evil outlooks, although this does not mean that members can allow lawful evil acts to continue.
There is no call among dwarfs for Thardanor to support its own monasteries, but its close ties with the Cult of Danethrae in human lands mean those facilities are available to dwarfs.
Clerics of both Thardanor and Danethrae are considered to be worshippers of the same church; their teaching, roles, and positions within the church are equal, although there is separation of funding and administration between the official Danethrae and Thardanor churches.
