====== Grumbar ======

Grumbar is the elemental embodiment of earth. He is one of the four elemental deities worshiped in Faerûn but, like all except Kossuth, has a very small following. He is generally uncaring to his faithful, but continues to grant his priest their powers since their worship increases his power on his home plane.

To maintain continued worship he does take a limited interest in his followers mortal problems, and his gifts are most often protective magics or knowledge of the underearth's secret places or rich lodes of ore, though he seems to mete them out without determinable reason.


===== Worshipers, Clergy & Temples =====
Grumbar's church is varied and chaotic since he takes no interest in its structure. As a result it is a collection of cults with each faction coming up with its own ethics, codes, morals, and teachings.

The church is usually organized into small sects known as Holds, each comprising seven clerics, seven monks, and seven rangers and as many laity as can be supported. There is little dissension within Holds, and little interaction between Holds.

The Grumbarryn have a natural resistance to change, especially radical change. Important Grumbarryn followers, priest and warrior alike, are frequently portrayed in teaching stories and fables that argument the faithful's belief in the importance of resisting change. Those who follow the Earthlord can often be found in public preaching against the evils of boarding ships and setting sail to uncharted lands, preferring exploration on the continent of Faerûn. Many of the clergy members preach that "more than enough problems exist to occupy our time here at home without looking for new troubles." Grumbar's clergy members also take stances against changes in the social code, changes in government, the building of new landmarks that change the face of the land (such as dams) and changes in their own religion.

Grumbarryn doctrine also speaks of the holiness and absolute quality of oaths. Grumbarryn take oaths with extreme seriousness and would never break one upon pain of being cast out of the faith. The //Oath of Landwalking// is a solemn promise undertaken by all members of the Grumbarryn faith upon entering the priesthood that forbids them from traveling through the air or by sea. Only in the most dire of circumstances would priests of Grumbar take to the enemy element of air. Travel over water is allowed only when the church would benefit as a result of the sacrifice.
