O-Del, the Shaper, Saint of Craft and Construction

O-Del, patron Saint of Craft and Construction, whose gift of focus and dedication help craftsfolk and laborers create works both wondrous and mundane.

Images & Symbols

• Hammer & Anvil. It’s not uncommon for every crafter in a town to have a sign of the Hammer & Anvil above their shop’s door, with another sign below it indicating the kinds of things they actually make.
• Jeweler's tools and sewing needles; this is the preferred symbol of those who craft particularly fine and detail-oriented works.
• Drafting tools (compass, protractor, ruler, and quill) and scroll; this is the symbol of the followers of O-Del whose projects are truly grand in scale, such as shipwrights and architects.

Virtues

O-Del’s virtues are thus: Focus on your work and ensure that it is done properly; never leave a project incomplete; and always strive to create things with as much efficiency as you can.

Sins

The greatest sins in the eyes of O-Del are thus: Unnecessary destruction; allowing the pursuit of perfection to hamper your pursuit of your craft; and sloth that results in slow or slap-dash work.
