Minderhal (He Who Makes and Unmakes)Source Divine Mysteries pg. 310Minderhal is both praised and scorned for his inflexibility and dedication to the status quo. The stone giant god of creation, giants, justice, and strength has a dwindling following, partially due to modern
stone giants preferring to pay homage to the spirits of their ancestors over any gods. He instilled the belief that it is more honorable to exile yourself from a clan than to challenge superiors or existing traditions. Minderhal even went as far as encouraging the stone giants to accept being enslaved by the Thassilonians in exchange for political and magical might for himself, citing that it was only natural for the strong to subjugate the weak. Unsurprisingly, the moment the Thassilonian empire crumbled, so did faith in him.
While other stone giant deities gracefully accepted similar waning of faith, He Who Makes and Unmakes did not. He has an intense detestation for those who turn their backs on him, while deeply cherishing the few who remain as if they are the fruits of his own artisanry. The majority of those who do continue to praise him are stone giants. Minderhal is depicted as an elderly, powerfully built stone giant wielding a magical crafting hammer named Weight of Tradition that returns to his hands when thrown. Followers magnify his name by erecting large statues of his image carved out of soft stone in front of places of leadership or by etching his religious symbol into their walls.
