Description

Kalishiba is the patron deity of ogres with regards to anything that is manufactured. All that is made falls under his sphere of influence. Kalishiba appears as a large and powerful male org who wears heavy plate armor. Strapped to his body is an impressive array of weapons and tools.

Religion

It is the belief of this religion that anything made should last. Durability is the most enviable quality a thing can have. The ideal is that once made an item will never break. Although this is impossibility, the religion has set this as its primary goal. The worship of Kalishiba is wide spread even among non-ogres and non-craftsmen.
