Religious Precepts in the Dwarden Rite
The Power is Supreme Above All Others: The Power has no peers, and is supreme among all other powers. There is nothing the Power cannot do, and no force that the Power cannot overcome. The Power sits peerless among all other powers.
Liturgy
Liturgical Language
The Rite of the Dwarden Church uses High Middle Dwarden as its liturgical language. All major religious written works in Dwarden have been transcribed in this language, which sounds to the modern Dwarden ear as formal, rich and transcendent.
The liturgy itself is performed almost entirely in an awe inspiring monastic chant.
The Canonical Script
On formal Mandadorian holy writings, Danian-based script is used, modified with specific letters and symbols to correctly pronounce the Dwarden language.
Capital letter writing is used on sacred vestments.
Faith in the War of the Black Crown
Centuries of near-existential warfare with the undead of their own people has forged Mandadorianism in Dwarden into an iron faith that serves as the primary shield against against the horror and despair so often encountered by the people of those lands.
Prophecies During the War of the Black Crown
Although it was understood that Yathamian would not return for the salvation of Dwarden during the War of the Black Crown, there was great hope
During his Second Embassy, St. Yathamian is recorded in the Book of Maethon stating:
"By holy Prayer, Shield, Hammer, Sword and Song you shall conquer, and the Black Crown of evil will forever be dethroned."
