Dogma
Dumathoin does not object to tunneling, mining, or gathering the treasures of the Oerth, but he frowns on clumsy or haphazard mining. Dumathoin's worshipers are encouraged to seek out the hidden gifts that Dumathoin watches over and to enhance their natural beauty and the beauty of the mines from which they are taken. Dumathoin does not encourage greed, as he says that true beauty is found in discovery and crafting, not hoarding. Dumathoin teaches that tombs are to be kept inviolate and well tended. He deeply opposes the undead, particularly dwarven undead. Secrets are considered precious by the faithful of Dumathoin.
