Anteus is the God of Fire and Earth. He appears to his followers as a short, stout man with a bulbous nose, a long cap and he is often seen carrying a pickaxe or hammer. Priests of Anteus build their temples in the mountains and are often seen working with miners. It is said that dwarves are the special minions of Anteus, and that a party which contains a Priest of Anteus will never be attacked by dwarves and will have free passage through dwarven tunnels.
Temples to Anteus must be in mountain provinces. Attempts to consecrate temples elsewhere will fail.
The following unteachable skills may be studied directly once Church of Anteus is known:
