Changes: Reorx

Revision as of 20:52, 24 August 2020

Reorx is the divine power of creation. He is the supreme god of Dwarves, and holds sway over Gnomes as well. Kender see him as a grandfather figure. Reorx is patron to smiths and craftsmen from all races. Reorx works with Shinare to spur dwarven economies.

With his forging hammer and the direction of the High God, Reorx forged the world, the stars, and the souls of mortals into existence from the essence of Chaos. Later, Reorx crafted the Graygem, which trapped the essence of Chaos. Reorx hates and fears Chaos, referring to him as the “Father of All and of Nothing”.

His appearance varies from time to time, but what is common is the he has a luxuriant beard, long curly hair, and he wears only the finest clothes with buttons of gold. His shirts are usually ruffled, and always has on a hat with a red plume on top.

Reorx to the Dwarves is known as the forger of the world, also Reorx the Life-Giver, and is praised as the god of the forge fire. Just like all dwarves, he loves to gamble, and has in the past gambled on almost anything. He has also been known to offer others a taste of his home brew Dwarf Spirits, usually just before he will make a bet.

He is the friend of Gilean.

-Creator of the world of [[Krynn]], sometimes called the Forger of the world. Reorx is the deity of the Dwarves, and when he takes on mortal form he takes the form of a dwarf. He is also the god of the [[gnome]]s, cousins to the [[dwarves]], and even has "guidance" over the [[Kender]]. Some believe that Reorx is still shaping the other side of [[Krynn]]. Reorx is notorious for his love of bets and wagers.

Instead of a piece of chaos Reorx captured all of chaos. As a result of capture the entire deity, the Graygem became sentiant, and attempted to spread chaos everywhere by change everything that came into contact with the gem, including the creation of [[Kender]]. The Graygem never looked or felt the same to any two people, always changing in size and look. In an attempted to save face form the other gods Reorx trapped the Graygem on the moon of [[Lunitari]], hiding it from his fellow gods.

The Graygem went wild running across the world bring chaos and change. After seeing the destruction that the Graygem left in its wake Reorx charged the gnomes with the capture and return of '''''his''''' Graygem. After chasing the Gem for thousands of years it was laocated on the Isle of Gargath where [[Palin Majere]], [[Tanin Majere]], and [[Sturm Majere]] along with [[Dougan Redhammer]](Reorox's Mortal like form) got it back, only to loose it once again in a wager against a common fisherman. This time as a result of Reorx loosing possession of the gem the [[Chaos War]] would break out.
