Minderhal (pronounced MIN-dehr-hawl) is the smith-god of the stone giants. The primary deity of evil stone giants, he represents how traditions can both enhance a culture's accomplishments and cause it to stagnate at the same time.

Lawful EvilA lawful evil character goes about her business motivated by her own interests, but knows that ultimately order protects her. She seeks to achieve her own ends—but through order, not chaos. Even when boiling with anger, she is more likely to carefully plot vengeance than risk her own death through hasty actions. Sometimes that revenge will take years to happen, and that is acceptable.
A lawful evil character at the extreme end of the spectrum is zealous in her aims and will make any sacrifice to achieve them. Her twisted philosophy can make her paranoid of her closest followers, even family and friends. She stops at nothing to gain control, for only through control can she have peace. Yet even the most powerful and ordered society has its enemies, and to a lawful evil character only the destruction of those enemies can bring fulfillment.

Lawful NeutralA lawful neutral character admires order and tradition, or seeks to live by a code. He might fear chaos and disorder, and perhaps have good reason to do so from past experience. A lawful neutral person is not as concerned about who rules him so much as how secure he and his compatriots are, and finds great solace in the normality of society. Such a character may admire the strongest of leaders and punishments if they keep order, and he may support wars against other nations even if his own country is a brutal invader—his only concern is the rightness of the military action., LE
A lawful neutral character who follows his own code never breaks it willingly, and may become a martyr to defend it.Lawful EvilA lawful evil character goes about her business motivated by her own interests, but knows that ultimately order protects her.

Order is everything, at any cost.Neutral EvilMotivated by his own needs and wants, a neutral evil character is without conscience, acting only for self-gratification. He might surround himself with the trappings of cults and evil, but does so purely because it brings him closer to sin and wickedness. While a lawful evil person is inclined to bargain and a chaotic evil one to lash out, a neutral evil person is inclined only to look out for himself. In many ways, he epitomizes evil, since he has no clear loyalty to anything except absolute self-interest.
An extremist neutral evil character tends to be a loner, since he has either betrayed or slain those who came close to knowing him. - Realms

Obedience

Recite relevant passages from One Hundred Sacred Stones while you craft this object. Gain a +1 profane bonus on Strength checks and on attack rolls with thrown weapons.Boons

Master of Earth (Sp)
Hands of Justice (Su)
For a number of rounds per day equal to your Hit Dice, you can infuse your slams or a melee weapon you wield with the power of pure law. Your attacks with these weapons gain the axiomatic weapon special ability. Any attacks that would damage these weapons first have their damage reduced by 5 before you apply DR, hardness, or any resistances. Activating or dismissing this ability is a free action, and the rounds need not be consecutive. Any weapon affected by this ability returns to normal 1 round after it leaves your hands.
Maker's Gift (Su)
Once per day as a full-round action, you can grant Minderhal’s gift of power to a willing humanoid creature by touching it. The target gains a +2 profane bonus to Strength or a +4 profane bonus on Craft checks relating to stone. A creature can have no more than one Maker’s gift from an evangelist at a time. As long as the gift persists, you can speak telepathically with the target across any distance (but this does not grant it the ability to reply). The Maker’s gift is removed by dispel evil or dispel law. You can remove the gift as a free action, dealing 1d4 points of Wisdom damage to the target as a result. The target cannot attempt a saving throw against this effect.
