 History/Relationships:  The little believed but fanciful tale of Kerrigor’s birth was that he had a duty set to him by his king as a punishment, something that would keep him out of view until the day of his death. Kerrigor went into his isolation and worked dutifully on the monumental task. When it came time to die, he simply continued working through his own death. Most likely this story is simply a metaphor of some type, but it captures the nature of the Patient Scholar well. He is an ancient, mysterious deity who is the patron of those who take quiet pride in their dutiful labor.

 Dogma:  Take pride in your work and do it dutifully and with honor. Those who tail their entire lives have indeed lived good lives, having made something better than themselves. Bureaucracy is nobility and labor is honor. Do not let the jeers of those who know not the strain of a day’s work affect you, for the ignorant and wastes on society are not worthy of your attention.

 Clergy and Temples:  The Lorelord has temples in nearly every industrial city on Choll. His patronage of the hard worker, the accountant, the guard, the laborer, the man with the eternal job which will continue long after he is passed, and the idea that there is honor and nobility in such service is something that resonates with those who are entrusted with these very duties. Often they provide cheap or free healing to the working man.
