Grundinnar was one of Torag's many sons and is the dwarven god of friendship and loyalty. He was experienced at breaking up fights over his sister Bolka and had thus developed a strong sense of diplomacy. He used this skill to end feuds, encourage neighborly conduct among his followers, and ensure that dwarves remember friends they have not seen in many years.1
In that spirit of friendship, dwarves who made friends with members of other ancestries often gift them small ornamental hammers in his honor.2 His name is also generally invoked when followers were in the midst of building new peaceful relationships with others.3
After the death of Gorum in 4724 AR, Grundinnar and an array of dwarven heroes battled the primordial being Otolmens over the fate of a warshard that crashed at the gates of Larrad. According to the Molthuni novel When Gods Make War, both were then removed from reality in a loud flash as if neither had ever existed.4

In the Mwangi Expanse, the Mbe'ke dwarves place Grundinnar almost as high as Torag himself in the pantheon, seeing him as responsible for the peace that the Mbe'ke were able to establish with the nearby dragons.5
