God of Craftsmanship, Labor and Triumph Over Adversity

Eonak is the artificer of the gods. He is also the consort of Imaera. After the Ur-Daemon War, he took the people who worked in the stone under his wing and taught them. Thus, he is considered the patron of the dwarves.

Maker of all of the fantastic items used by the gods, Eonak spends most of his time at his forge. He is more at home there than anywhere else, and at times only a decree from Koar or the soft words of Imaera can separate him from it.

Often considered a strange pairing, Imaera and Eonak are each masters of crafting, although their choices of substances is vastly different. Imaera's crafting is of living things, of cycles and seasons and balance. Eonak's crafting is of inanimate things, yet even as Imaera's, his creations must fulfill their purposes, achieve a balance of beauty and utility, and all, even as Imaera's do, contain some part of him that marks them as creations of Eonak's hand.

Eonak personifies success won by hard work rather than natural gifts alone. Legends differ as to how Eonak lost his arm, but all agree that the veil iron arm he spent lifetimes crafting is the greatest piece of craftsmanship ever under taken and serves him better than the original.

Eonak's preferred humanoid manifestation is that of a heavily muscled person, either a short man or a large dwarf, who wears the leather garments of a blacksmith. His left arm is missing, replaced by a veil iron prosthetic. In manner, he is impatient, surly and distracted. His symbol is a golden anvil on a field of brown.

Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places

Cleric Guilds

Displayed in the Prayer Rooms of each Cleric Guild is a statue of Eonak. These prayer rooms are considered a holy shrine to multiple deities.

The scowling face of a large, burly dwarf frowns back at you.  He is dressed in a blacksmith's apron and leaning on a sturdy hammer.  His left arm appears to be made of metal.

K>touch Eonak
You reach out and touch the statue of Eonak.

A warm feeling washes over you, as if Eonak smiled upon you.

Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild

Located in the Antechamber of Liabo is a table inset with disks depicting all of the Liabo arkati, including one for Eonak. This area is not considered a holy shrine.

A golden anvil on a field of brown is painted on the crystal disk representing Eonak.

River's Rest Cleric Guild

There is an altar in one of the Alchemy workshops inside the River's Rest Cleric Guild dedicated to Eonak. This area is not considered a holy shrine.

An altar is set atop a granite slab against the wall beneath the window.

The altar is crafted of the same material as the slab upon which it rests.  A small stone anvil sits squarely in the center of the altar, surrounded by a circle of tiny iron ingots.

Kharam Dzu Cleric Guild

Through a dark entryway just east of the entrance to the Kharam Dzu Cleric Guild on Teras Isle is a shrine dedicated to Eonak.

[Cleric Guild, Hall]
Thick tiles of square glaes form a straight line along the middle of the floor here, a dark red glow emanating from the lava that flows within the channel. Waves of vaporous heat blur the air slightly, the temperature almost too much to bear in this slightly cramped hall. Slabs of iron sit reverently in small shelves carved into the rock, along with various other metals of different make and hue.
Obvious exits: south, out

[Cleric Guild, Shrine]
The ruddy crimson light emanating from a lava pocket covered by a circle of glaes bathes the golden anvil that serves as an altar in a glow not unlike that of a forge. Cast in heavy iron, a statue of a thickly muscled man wearing a leather apron stands behind the anvil, his right hand holding a huge hammer ready to strike an unseen slab of metal. The dark red light from the lava below plays across the statue's gleaming surface, illuminating the man's determined and headstrong expression.
Obvious exits: north

>look statue
Cast from gleaming iron, the statue is devoid of color, instead relying on the ruddy light of the lava surrounding it below the floor to enhance its rugged features.  Eonak is depicted with his prosthetic arm upon the anvil as if holding a piece of unseen metal steady, while his right holds a huge hammer high above his head in preparation to make a precise strike.  His brows are furrowed in deep concentration, and his face bears the lines of one who has toiled long and hard at his craft.

>look anvil
Set before a small ring of glaes that protects any bystander from the bubbling lava underneath, the anvil is completely unadorned.  The statue of Eonak's faux veil iron arm is eternally set with its palm downturned upon the altar, as if it were holding down a piece of metal to be forged.

Zul Logoth, Temple of Eonak

Through a metal door just east of the Zul Logoth Cleric Guild is the Temple of Eonak.

[Temple of Eonak, West Sanctuary]
Towering columns chiseled from the granite rock itself leap upward to support a crystal-encrusted ceiling forty or more feet overhead. Thick, sienna velvet carpeting extends from north wall to south wall in this cavernous sanctuary, and benches placed in rows march toward the altar that stands at least a hundred feet to the east. All around, fire billows brightly along a ledge twelve feet up, the licking flames displaying no effect on the russet, woven mithril curtains that adorn the walls. You also see a winding stair and a black metal door.
Obvious exits: east

[Temple of Eonak, East Sanctuary]
A river of fire extends around the walls to converge in a sea of flame underneath the gigantic altar. The blaze's red cast reflects off the russet mithril curtains and the crystal-encrusted ceiling, bathing the room in a warm, flickering glow. Long benches provide places to sit and quietly contemplate if one does not feel distracted by the crackling fire all around. The room has been arranged so that all attention is directed toward the gigantic altar and the rising wall just behind it. You also see a narrow passageway.
Obvious exits: west

This area is a holy shrine.

>look altar
The altar consists of a massive golden anvil, nearly fifteen feet long, a twenty-foot-long mithril battle axe laying on the anvil, and a sea of fire surrounding both larger-than-life constructions.  A gigantic iron hand gripping a vultite hammer appears ready to strike the battle axe's blade.

>look anvil
The anvil stands in the sea of fire, its base unseen among the roiling flames.  Fifteen feet long and half as wide, it appears to be made of pure polished gold.  Its edges are perfectly beveled, and its sides are smooth and free of imperfections.  A mithril battle axe rests on the anvil's flat upper surface.

>look axe
The mithril battle axe's blade gleams in the flickering firelight, and the blade's edge appears sharp and deadly.  This axe was made for no mortal being, as the blade is easily eight feet across and the haft over twice as long.  A single piece of dark ironwood, twenty feet long and three feet thick, makes up the haft.  The heavily lacquered handle extends ten or so feet beyond the end of the golden anvil, yet the battle axe appears to be in no danger of falling.

>look hand
The details of the gigantic hand have been carefully carved into the solid iron, right down to the fingernails and lines in the knuckles.  The hand tightly grips the shaft of the hammer, holding it aloft over the battle axe and anvil.

[Temple of Eonak, Landing]
This simple granite platform extends out from the south wall, supported by several granite arches anchored into the wall. A winding stair spirals down to the floor of the sanctuary sixteen feet below, and a grey marble opening allows exit into a tunnel in the wall. From this overhead vantage many aspects of the temple, such as the ledge, the fire ring, the fire sea, the ceiling, the anvil, and the battle axe, show aspects not apparent when viewed from the temple's floor.
Obvious exits: none

This area is a holy shrine.

>look at ledge
The granite ledge is approximately two feet wide and circles the edge of the temple on the north, west and south walls.  On the east end it turns and widens out into a large dais that holds the altar.  The thinner ledge area contains a shallow trough which appears to hold an abundance of clear oil.  The fire feeds on this oil.

>look at sea
The ledge's trough widens out into a shallow sea full of clear oil.  The fire burns this oil greedily, though apparently not hot enough to disturb the golden anvil that rests in the center of the sea.

>look at anvil
The anvil stands in the sea of fire, its base resting in the shallow pool of light oil.  Fifteen feet long and half as wide, it appears to be made of pure polished gold.  Four small rings dot the surface of the anvil, and two leather straps the color of the battle axe's ironwood handle are affixed to the rings.  The two leather straps securely hold the mithril battle axe against the anvil's flat upper surface.
