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, and protecting his brother Grundinnar and sister Bolka. He is the oldest of Torag's children. He is also tasked with exacting punishment on souls who shirk their responsibilities or break sworn oaths and solemn promises. Some believe that Dranngvit is Kols' true mother.

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

Appearance

Kols is the firstborn of Torag's children and an older deity, 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.
