Magron

Magron is the king under the mountain. He is the lost dwarven king, and the avatar of earth and ice.

History
Magron was the Dvagar King, who had a fortress beneath the shiver-spike, before it became sealed away by the permafrost. He was the last Dvagar, and king of the dwarves. He was known as the Mountain King, who claimed dominion of all mountains, and the bounties that lay beneath them. When the ice came, the mountain king refused to leave the mountain fortress behind, and so too did many of his disciples. Legend has it that the ancient Dvagar still exists beneath the frozen mountain, and so too does his horde of treasures and artifacts. Thus he is known as the King Under the Mountain.

The kingdom under the mountain was the largest city ever constructed, and created with geometry that would be impossible for any other race to create. The realm exists on the convergence of ley-lines on the north pole, and upon the ruins of the prodromos. The City Under the Mountain is called Rubir, and supposedly contains the dwarf gate to the realm of thoughts. This discovery cursed the dwarves with petrification, and removed their immortality.

Domain
The city of Rubir was once the Domain of Magron and his followers. It has since frozen over and become burried beneath the permafrost. Many modern dwarves and adventurers seek the frozen throne, and the dwarf gate to the realm of thought. Some dwarves beleive that closing the dwarf gate will save them from the curse of petrification, while others believe that the answer lies beyond the gate. Whatever lies beyond, it drove the king mad, and brought the city to ruin. Other's still believe that the dwarf gate stole away Dwarven immortality, but gave them the ability to die and cross into the afterlife. The different sects of beliefs are scarce, and few between. The story of Magron is no more than a fable in the current era, but some dwarves still study the annals of the saga like a religion.

Church
Few congregations exist for Magron. Once there were many temples dedicated to Magron, but they have since fallen out of practice as Dwarven societies have become closer to human ones, and since adopted the cardinal king religions or shamanism since the shamans have a realm and fable that explain the origins of the dwarves. The ruined cathedrals of of grand architecture can be found in most countries, many eras old, and now inhabited by displaced peoples.

Followers
Few followers remain to venerate Magron, but many seeking his treasures are considered followers. They pour over ancient legends and scrolls, traveling from ancient temple to ancient temples, seeking the answers of the dwarf gate, and a way to cross the permafrost.
