Grondolk

Grondolk (or 'Tomb Watcher') is the God of Burials, Mourning, and Death. His worshippers preach that death is natural and that the spirits of ancestors should be worshipped as personal saints. He is almost always portrayed as male, though his Dark Elf interpretation is female.

Overview and Worship
Grondolk cannot physically appear on Dormunyr, however he is known to influence it heavily, and send spirits to guide lost souls to his realm. These spirits are called Zarfts, small ghostly figures with long beards, no torso, and gaping mouths. They are sometimes seen circling graves where a Dwarrow has been recently burried.

Worship of Grondolk is not a regular occurence, he is only prayed to by mourners, gravekeepers, and those attending funerals. Tombs are often blessed with his spells, and his verses and rites are often carved into the walls of such places. On top of this, teracotta clay statues known as Undis are placed in great numbers within the tombs, they are often also found before gravestones. These statues are generally made to represent the likeness of Zarfts, and thusly appear as mushached ghostly figures doing what seems to be a movement of waving their arms. These figures are enchanted by Dwarrow priests to ward away evil spirits from the graves and prevent the restful dead from being used in necromancy. Though they often come in the shape of Zarfts, there are ocassionally Undis built to look like warriors, weeping mothers, merchants, children, or other figures that the artisans or comissioners feel are relevant to the tomb or grave they guard.

Verses
"Guardeth the resting places of the dead, looketh to their deeds f'r guidance, and speaketh not of their spirits in vein."
