Kireus is the patron of smiths. He appears as a thick-set man dressed in blacksmith's garb, with bushy red hair and a beard singed by smithing fires. Priests of Kireus traditionally build their Temples in swamps where they have easy access to the coal they need for their forges, and where fires do not burn out of hand. Priests of Kireus often associate with engineers and weapon smiths. It is said that no priest of Kireus can be harmed by a blade and no wall built of stone can bar them.
Temples to Kireus must be in swamps. Attempts to consecrate temples elsewhere will fail.
The following unteachable skills may be studied directly once Church of Kireus is known:
