Have you guys taken a look at the Blackmoor Deity named Gorrim from the Dwarf Pantheon?

Gorrim is the dwarven God of Death, Murder and Thieves. Interestingly he is said to be asleep "below the Regent of the Mines' Seat of power". Although wards are in pace to keep him asleep, he is beginning to stir. (CS p 166)

It is also worth mentioning that in the description of Pathmeer, the Dwarven god of rogues and spies (CS p 167), it is revealed that Pathmeer is the brother of Gorrim. Those who follow Pathmeer know a secret that must be revealed before Gorrim awakens. Pathmeer is LG btw, which is weird for a god of Rogues and spies, right?

So what does this all mean?

In my original writeup, I had Gorrim be just the dwarven name of Thanatos. I am starting to rethink that theory though. One idea I have is that Gorrim is not an actual God, but instead another one of the . Interestingly, Freedom92 already made a connection between the Sleeping Ones in the .

What do you guys think of these ideas? And what could Pathmeer's secret be all about?

A sleeping dwarven god with destructive powers on awakening sounds an awful lot like, oh, I dunno, a volcano?

If one were to take that interpretation, one might associate him with an incarnation of a certain fire-loving demon...? No reason to limit the worship to just the Afridhi.
