Moradin, the Dwarffather

Moradin (pronounced: /ˈmɔːrɑːdɪn/ MOR-a-din or: /ˈmɔːrədɪn/ MOR-uh-din) was the supreme god of the dwarves and the chief deity in their pantheon. The Soul Forger was strength incarnate and force of will embodied, a harsh but fair judge who evaluated his creations by the goodness of their works first and intentions second. The Dwarffather inspired dwarven inventions and constantly sought to improve their race, encouraging a good-natured, intelligent, and harmonious existence with other good races while battling their pride and isolationist tendencies.
