| | == Dogma == |
| Grumbar is said to have created the [[Staff of the Marsh]] in [[Prehistory|Prehistoric]] times. The Staff, while hidden away for most of Quelmar history, was said in legends to be capable of moving and altering the realm landscape without limit.

| === Dogma ===
| |
| Grumbar is famously uncaring and unresponsive to his followers, remaining stoic and silent, and forcing his own followers to have a rock-hard trust and faith in his actions and interventions. Those who fumble or doubt Grumbar's existence or assistance prove themselves too flighty to keep any powers granted to them. | | Grumbar is famously uncaring and unresponsive to his followers, remaining stoic and silent, and forcing his own followers to have a rock-hard trust and faith in his actions and interventions.

| At it's most extreme, Grumbarans practice active reclamation of the land, which they deem as "repairing unnatural scars" including man-made lakes, irrigation, lost fertile lands (such as towns built on arable soil), and replanting after forest fires. Grumbarans played a large role in the recovery of Isonhound after [[The Razing of Isonhound|The Razing.]]
| | ==Followers and Practices== |
| | | Most Grumbar priests have an oath against travelling over water, considering themselves tied to their mother-land intrinsically. Teleportation is not considered crossing the water, and as such, most Grumbar temples have teleportation circles built into them to allow travel across followings without breaking oaths. |
| === Followers ===
| |
| Most Grumbar priests have an oath against travelling over water (known as an '''Oath of Landwalking'''), considering themselves tied to their mother-land intrinsically. Teleportation is not considered crossing the water, and as such, most Grumbar temples have teleportation circles built into them to allow travel across followings without breaking oaths. | |

| ==== Heart of Stone ====
| |
| Archpriests of Grumbar complete their theological and spiritual training by crafting and attuning with a magic item known as a '''Heart of Stone'''. The hearts activate portals that allow the archpriests to easily travel between every hold in Quelmar, voiding the need to ever cross a body of water. A portal can also be opened directly into the [[Elemental Plane of Earth]].
| |
| | |
| == Temples ==
| |
| In the [[PR]] era there were '''Seven Temples of Grumbar,''' notably including [[The Howling Crag|The Howling Crag.]]
| |
| | |
| The temple located dangerous close to the eastern coast of Amusa was known as the '''Sixth Hold.'''
| |
| | |
| Temples were often built on sites of great ore veins of [[Alexandrite]], a very rare and naturally ocurring stone which contained magical properties, said to have come from [[The Feywild]].
| |
| | |
| When temples were under attack, all lights would be extinguished, and Grumbarans would rely on their abilities of ''Tremorsense'' and ''Meld into Stone''.
