The Dwarven pantheon is one of the major ancestral pantheons on Kishar. Followed primarily by dwarves, especially those living around or near the Chaska Sea, the pantheon is unique in seeing its gods as ascended mortals, ur-dwarves who attained divinity very long ago.

Worship of the Dwarven pantheon is geographically quite diffuse, but it is especially strong in the eastern Thadrian nation of Barat Rkund. The dwarves there are especially culturally traditionalist, and have kept their religious beliefs intact even as many less staid dwarven societies elsewhere have shifted their beliefs over the millennia. Many of the Tumunzari dwarves of western Thadria also worship the Dwarven pantheon, although they often fuse it with their simultaneous belief in the Chaskan pantheon. The religious practices in Barat Tor in the Western Coast are much the same. Farther afield, worship of the pantheon is found anywhere with a sizable dwarven population. The inhabitants of Barazar El, Kharakun, and Emperor's Island, for example, all venerate the gods of the pantheon to varying degrees.
