Religion
The dwarves have a strong religious tradition and they commonly perform ceremonies and worship collectively. Salvation is attained by action, so practicing religion is more important than taking its meaning to heart. Thus rituals are very important and form the backbone of dwarven doctrines.

Clans are often very proud of their priests and it is a matter of status to support them. If the priests of a clan decide to convert to a new religion, all the other members of the clan usually follow their lead.

Ancestors are revered in daily speech and simple rituals by referring to them respectfully or praying to them so that they watch over the family line.

Dwarven gods are often closely connected to the dwarven lifestyle, environment and history, such as pantheons of mountain, earth, fire, blacksmithing and war and they are frequent actors in the dwarven legends. Dwarven temples are usually dominated by large and intricately carved altars which display the might and splendor of the gods.

Superstition
Dwarves are pragmatic people and they prefer not to meddle with things they do not understand. Supernatural occurrences which cannot be traced to their deities are widely distrusted and avoided.

Dwarves fear open water and usually avoid swimming and traveling by boat if possible. They tend to keep indoors when it is raining to avoid ill fate.
