Overview

God of crafts and smiths, typically depicted as a blacksmith. Furthane is the master craftsman of the gods, his most significant work being Nen's gavel. He acts as the patron of all crafts, including woodwork and masonry, and his blessings are highly sought after during the construction of castles and houses. In addition, his association with armor and fortifications earns him prayers from the less violent soldiers who seek Furthane's defense rather than Rannash's might.

Theology and Practice

Furthanian monasteries are virtual workshops, where the monks turn out crafts and wares for the greater glory of Furthane. Furthanian clergy are inevitably dedicated to a craft of their choice. Furthanian temples are well-known for their beauty of decoration. Priests often carry tools or implements of crafts.

As the god of crafts (not just smiths), Furthane is much more popular among average Hesketines than among the actual PCs. His blessings are highly sought after during the construction of castles and houses. In addition, his association with armor and fortifications earns him prayers from the less violent soldiers who seek Furthane's defense rather than Rannash's might.
