Y'Grath
Y'Grath is associated with the wolf and the eagle. His color is yellow and his symbol is an open book.
Y'Grath's followers mainly consist of wizards and scholars and his priests are usually scribes, librarians or scholars. He is the god of knowledge both magical and mundane. He and Eir are very close, but while Eir is goddess of intuition and innate knowledge, Y'Grath is the god of study, learning, understanding and practical knowledge. His priests sometimes work as engineers and have assisted with the design of the queen's naval vessels.
There is another sect of Y'Grath's priests who function as judges and lawyers. To these priests, Y'Grath is the god of law above all else. He represents the letter of the law, as opposed to Kela who is the spirit of the law.
To the dwarves he is known as Y'mir and his worship is more widespread than in The Isles, though his priests remain few. Most priests of Y'mir are solitary clerics, living on the outskirts of their towns who quietly labor over new inventions or concepts, rejoining dwarven society only when they have something to share.
In the Western Plains he is called Howling Wolf and it is thought that the howling of his favored creatures inspires his priests with their ideas. His priests tend to be hermits, living completely away from their tribes, sought only when their assistance is needed. They have been known to visit and work with the wizards in Gottel. Priests of the Howling Wolf have also been known to appear in order to judge tribesmen.
