Kols

Kols, known to his faithful as the Oath-Keeper (or Oathkeeper), is the dwarven demigod of duty. His personal duties are following and serving his father Torag, protecting his brother Grundinnar, and sister Bolka. Among Torag's children, he is the oldest.¹ He is also the deity tasked with exacting punishment on those poor souls who shirk their responsibilities or break sworn oaths and solemn promises.²³ Some believe that Dranngvit is Kols' true mother.⁴

In his honor, dwarven contracts traditionally use a stamped seal with his symbol.⁵

Appearance

Not only is Kols the firstborn of Torag's children, he is, in general, an older god, which is reflected in his appearance. He has pure white hair, with a white beard that goes down to his knees. His skin is as deep brown as the earth, with age lines that tell many stories.¹
