Ferron
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ferron tapped against the walls of the metal pod that he was resting in, deliberating about the progress that he had achieved, as well as the best method to process. He had exhausted himself working on the dwarven colony, however his progress had allowed him to leave the colony for a few days in order to retreat within his divine realm in order to recover. He had constructed his metal pod in order to aid in his recovery, and it was currently submerged within the molten metals of the Deep Forge in order to maximize his recovery time.
He had recovered his energy as a few hours ago, however he wanted to be sure he was in the best condition for the next step of his plan. He needed to bargain with his fickle siblings in order to be able to truly complete his grand project. He was scared of this, and thought that some of his children may abandon him, however he could not shelter his precious children forever and it was best for him to moderate their influence of his creation.
The colony was still lacking in terms of biodiversity, however he had did his best in order to help alleviate this problem. This was the most exhausting task he had under taken despite its simplicity. He had creating more fungi that was to grown to supply the village with additional food, as well as medicine. He had also created special silk worms that created a metallic silk that was suitable for the creation of clothing and nets. In addition, he had cleared an area of the cave to grow trees that were adapted to the cavernous biome of the dwarves. This was the most exhaustive task, but it was one that was necessary. He had also created a reed-like plant that he various uses. There was still much work to be done in this area, however this was enough for the same colony. He would need to revisit this area whenever he planned to expand the colony however. He wandered whether he should talk to Hayim or Naswaru, or maybe both, on how to proceed in this manner.
In terms of defense, the colony was doing quite well. He had formed the militia, which had named the Ironguard, and created the guardian of the colony which was a giant turtle with a metal shell which he had named Rook. While a giant turtle was ill-suited to wander the small tunnels of the dwarves, that was not its purpose. The purpose of Rook is that within his shell is a forge, and he is able to create powerful weapons and armors should their be need. In addition, he is able to create metal golems ranging from the size of a dwarf to a size of a man. For the most time, Rook remains relatively inactive, passively observing the village and relaying that information back to Ferron. However, Rook also uses his ability to construct golems in order to train dwarves in martial combat.
In addition, he had established the Church of Silver to his arbiters while he was away. They were to maintain the Great Silver Church, the church in which dwarfkind came into existence. They were also teachers of the divine wisdom, and healers. Members of the Church of Silver must only worship Ferron, however churches to other gods were permitted to form within the colonies, so long as they respected the authority of the Silver Church. He did not trust Gammaton, he was both to ambitious and to eager to please, but he was more suited to creating a stable form of government but he would need to be really careful about the fine print with this brother.
Previously, light was provided by Ferron's majesty. However he could only illuminate the colony while in its presence. In order to prevent the colony from being cloaked in darkness, he had created a second temple, the Temple of the Great Forge. The entire temple was devouted to storing Ferron's power and then distributing it across the colony through small metal disks. The Temple of the Great Forge supplied the colony with light, and heated the forges but its power was limited. He could only supply enough power within the temple for a few weeks. During his resting, he had sent Bishop southwards in order to investigate the Verzak Desert. There he discovered the dragons and in particular, the arch-dragons. He did not want to deal with Ragnageddon directly, his sibling disliked him for merely existing. However maybe these arch-dragons could be more reasonable. If all goes well, this will become the church of those who worship both metal and fire, however if not, there was other gods that he may attempt to bargain with.
While not related to the dwarven colony, after the fear spiral had disappeared. He had sent Bishop in order to retrieve some of the ore that he had corrupted and left behind. He had found the material, which had he named dark ore, was hard to work with. It was simply to brittle to work with. However, that was within the dwarven colony as he was not able to leave it at the time, and by time he had returned to his divine forge, he was to exhausted in order to continue. Perhaps he would be able to do something with it now that he had more freedom of movement. He had also wanted to investigate the spiral event more careful due to its associated with the earth's core, but he merely did not have the time, but he was a patient god.
Finally, he had also created a few more, grand yet empty buildings that will serve as potential churches for the other gods. He had various plans but he did not wish to finalize any he yet to make any business arrangements with any of the other gods. He was considering which god that he should approach next. This was a very delicate time in his grand plan.
