Hammer of Moradin is a special prestige class on Faerûn. Hammers of Moradin are members of an order of holy warriors, defending Citadel Adbar againt the enemies of dwarves: goblinoids, giants and drow. Rather than simply defend the city walls, they leave that work to the regular army of the Iron Guard and actively seek their enemies to destroy them and their homes. Very often they are helped by the order of explorers of the Underdark, the Deepscouts. To become a Hammer of Moradin, a dwarf must show great fighting skills and some degree of spellcasting ability.
