The leader of the Dwarf Uprising is not a dwarf who likes to be messed with. He is unbelievable tough and very aggressive. The long spikes protruding from the massive anvil-shaped mace can cave in a skull with a single blow.

• Command his guard to hunt down enemies

An ex-paladin, the Godless Inquisitor left the paladin order after being repeatedly shown that without his god he was useless and weak. He renounced his god and set out to prove that he, himself, had the power to shape the world.

Many joined him and they began an organization known as The Godless. Their only mission is to travel the world destroying all who pledge loyalty and love to any deity.

• Destroy temples and places of worship
• Refuse healing spells
