[[ProjectGorgon:Ormorek]] is loved by the [[ProjectGorgon:Dwarf|dwarves]] of [[ProjectGorgon:Alharth]], and many things are named after him.
{{Quote|source=[[ProjectGorgon:Mox Warcut]]|
[[ProjectGorgon:Ormorek]] is the god of Bitterness. He has a special place in dwarven hearts. His avatar lives in [[ProjectGorgon:New Aufghel]] -- if he's in a good mood you might be able to meet him there.
;Why is he special to dwarves?
I guess that'd be hard for a non-dwarf to understand. But let me try to explain it. Thousands of years ago, [[ProjectGorgon:Ormorek]] was the god of Dwarves. he was a great god then. But there was a war between gods, and [[ProjectGorgon:Ormorek]] was struck down by [[ProjectGorgon:Umrad]], the god of Mining. And [[ProjectGorgon:Umrad]] became the god of both Dwarves and Minerals.

That's all ancient history, and nobody holds it against [[ProjectGorgon:Umrad]]. We like Umrad! And we like [[ProjectGorgon:Bogdelle]], and most of us like [[ProjectGorgon:Kirad]] too. But [[ProjectGorgon:Ormorek]] is special to us.
;How so?
[[ProjectGorgon:Ormorek]] should have died, but he held on to one small thread of dwarven nature: our bitterness. As the god of Bitterness, he became a horrible god, spreading undeath and misery for thousands of years. But we dwarves accepted him anyways.

That is, we accepted that part of our nature is to be sullen, bitchy, whiny. Bitter. It happens. We accepted him, both conceptually and physically, as one of us. And that's the part that makes us proud.
;Proud? Of bitterness?
No, not proud of bitterness! Of the better parts of dwarven nature: patience, acceptance, and compassion.

I mean, look at how the humans treated [[ProjectGorgon:Ilth Hale]]. She was the god of Humanity, and she was struck down in that same battle. She became the god of Sorrow and the Forsaken. And so humans forsook her! She attacked them, so humans turned their backs on her.

But dwarves welcomed [[ProjectGorgon:Ormorek]] back into our cities, even though his undead attacked us. Even though he was just a thread of anger and misery.
;How'd that work out?
It was hard. It took many generations. But eventually we reached him. We stood by our old god and convinced him not to create undead.

And yeah, he fell off the wagon a few times. But he hasn't made new mummies in hundreds of years. And he's not nearly as bitter as he was even when I was a lad.

And... I think he's a god of something more now.
;Something more than a god of Bitterness?
Right. He's the god of Bitterness and something else. I don't know aht else yet. I don't know if anybody knows.

He's not a strong god... in fact he's one of the weakest gods. But who cares? He's ours. And he's represented us at our best and at our worst. And we never give up on our own, and there's not a damned thing [[ProjectGorgon:Umrad]] can do to ever change that!

So that's why dwarves to out of our way to kill mummies. It's a little favor to [[ProjectGorgon:Ormorek]]. It helps him get better, in a tiny way. And tiny gestures add up. It takes a long time, but we're very patient.
;I understand now. Thanks.
