Zuris

Zuris, often referred to as the Forgemaster, is one of the major deities on the planet of Sprin'Torel. Some argue that she is one of the most important deities given how important the forge is to the very state of the world as it is now. In spite of this, many are still more comfortable worshiping some of the more classic gods than Zuris, thinking her to be only of worth for smiths.

Of course, her worshipers devote themselves to their craft, putting their all into every single item they make. While many claim this this is done merely out of a sense of pride, deep down every smith knows that their work is representative of themselves and the Forgemaster, and they would not be able to slack off without dishonouring her.

Worshipers
Though most of Zuris' followers are, in fact, blacksmiths toiling away in a forge day in and day out, many of them are soldiers hoping that their armour and weaponry hold out in the midst of battle. While they may claim that they are not doing this out of a sense of worship and that it is merely a prayer of hope, smiths still claim that any prayer for good forging is good enough for her.

Clerics
As with her followers, Zuris' clerics tend to also be trained with how to work a forge, using these skills to create protection for even the poorest of militia. Of course, some go above and beyond, wanting to use only materials they could get themselves, believing their sacrifice to lead to Zuris' blessing, creating even more quality materials. As such, they find that they are welcome in many forges while traveling, with the owners of those forges more curious to see what glorious devices may come out of it.

Orders

 * The Striking Blow
 * While many soldiers deny any worship to Zuris, The Striking Blow are an order of soldiers who double as blacksmiths, making their own weapons and armour for fighting. Though some think that they are wasting their time, energy, and focus doing both of these things at once, there is no denying that these are powerful soldiers with quality product. As such, no military force has ever greeted these people with anything less than open arms.

Rites
As with all other religions, the worship of Zuris involves many rituals and rites. While these are mostly for strength and creativity in a forge, there are some for protection and hoping that their weapons and armour hold up against the natural wear and tear of battle. Below is an example of a prayer to Zuris:"'I ask Zuris to give me the strength to lead my hammer and to retain the knowledge that will help me do my job and create such devices that will bring soldiers home in one piece.'"
