Tor

Summary

Tor is a god of protection, stone, and abjuration, especially in dwarf and Goliath-linked traditions. Brutor Ruby Eye was an abjuration wizard of Tor. His motto is “Tor Protects” or “Tor Protects all,” and his ancient stone protectors sheltered early mortals in caves and overhangs. In Hammerguard, Tor spoke through Groushin as the voice of the stones, describing himself as part of them, or them as part of him. His worship is also linked to protective shields, while Chip calls him his great-grandfather.
