Dwarven Ancestor Worship
Dateing back to a time even lost among the dwarves. The worship and idolising of ancestors is still widely done in dwarven culture. However many dwarves (that have intergrated into their factions society) follow factions beliefs first and foremost. The traditionalist dwarves see them as outcasts who has "Lost the Stone". The dwarves who still worship their ancestors believe the decline of the dwarven race is due to the disrespect (as they see it) the surfacers show the ancestors, and the only way to rise the dwarves back to their old glory is to become even more isolated from the surfacers and rebuild their halls.
