I'm looking for a god or goddess for the dwarves in a game that I am throwing together.
They usually keep to themselves more so than usual in this world and have to do business with a theocratic government. Don't know if that helps much.
Official and homebrew welcome.

If they're still lawful good just use Moradin, he's fine as-is.

Planescape isn't a word. It also shares forgotten realms gods in many cases.

I always prefered Grungni myself. Just for the name. Moradin sounds dull in comparison.

Dumathoin absolutely.

I've always seen him as the most dwarvish deity of the dwaven pantheon.

As long as your dwarves are lawful good use Moradin. Just change a couple things about his doctrince, give him a nice new name, and behold! A diety that looks like it took originality to invent but actually didn't.

Does this qualify as irony? Great stuff. Well, it made me chuckle, as it took me several moments to work out what was meant...

Unless you are playing a cleric, I wouldn't worry about it. I have had a heck of a time looking for a good Forgotten Realms deity for a Chaotic Good barbarian, but they all tended to be fruity women or elves.
