Great Dwarf



The Great Dwarf is the patron god of the Dwarves. It is said that when the Great Dwarf still walked on the world of Tyria, he used Anvil Rock as his forge, and at another time used the Anvil of Dragrimmar to forge weapons with the strength of the Dwarven people and shields as unbreakable as their collective will. Ages ago, the Great Dwarf battled against the Great Destroyer and in order to defeat the creature, stole its name and sealed it within the Tome of Rubicon. It is also said that when he left Tyria, he traveled to the Great Forge that lies within the Rift and currently rules there.

Within the Tome of Rubicon lies a prophecy claiming that when the Great Destroyer rises, the Great Dwarf will do battle with it.

The Great Dwarf, along with being worshiped as a god, is a collective consciousness. As such, when King Jalis Ironhammer performed the Rite of the Great Dwarf and linked the minds of the Dwarves, they fulfilled the prophecy within the Tome. No one has ever seen the Great Dwarf in the flesh.
