Dwarvenkind Domain

(prerequisite: must be a Dwarf)
The gods and goddess of Dwarven folk have their own unique ideologies and ideals, and the values of their societies as they've risen up through the many centuries of Dwarven life have all shaped a deeper, mystical understanding that the gods of these cultures purvey within underlying themes. For Dwarven folk, toughness, grit, determination, familial honor, and an ambition for gold and wealth are the most common qualities they share among their peoples, and these Clerics serve the gods of these societies by wielding magic power that enforces these ideals and defends well against the classic enemies of Dwarves, such as Giants and orcs. The power of the Dwarvenkind Domain reinforces Dwarven interests with divine power made manifest.
