Just wanted to find out some info about the Dwarven Pantheon, the Morndinsamman.
Were there any gods killed, or new gods created within the past few centuries? Did any die during the times of troubles? Did any new gods rise? And what about the exact relation from one god to the others.
Moradin and Berronar are the father and mother to all the Dwarven Gods? Or is it a little more complicated?
As much feedback as possible would be welcomed?

The 2E supplement Demihuman Deities would likely answer all of your questions quite nicely.  |

The older Morndinsamman consists of the following:
Moradin
Berronar
Abbathor
Clangeddin
Vergadain
Dumathoin
Sharindlar
The twins Diirinka and Diinkarazan are since long no more part of the Morndinsamman. Nor is Laduguer. Deep Duerra was never part, she rose after Laduguer departed the ranks and was banished immideately after her apotheosis and ascension.
The newer members are:
Thard Harr
Gorm Gulthyn
Marthammor Duin
Dugmaren Brightmantle
Haela Brightaxe

In particular Gorm Gulthyn, how long would he have been around?
PS.Wooly, I don't have that binding sadly, and here in Belgium they aren't very easy to come by since the only D&D shop in my city has closed due to going bankrupt. |

It's safe to say he's been around a long time. The FRCS references his "millenia of dutiful practice" with combat maneuvers. It also makes mention that he is dying, that from giving his essence to avatars "over the many centuries" his fate has become tied to the fate of the dwarven kingdoms. |

Have little time. therefore only a short answer with a hint where you might find more on this: 2nd Ed. sourcebook Dwarves Deep. One of the greatest if not the greatest source for lore on dwarves.
more at another time, if no other sages have provided the info you seek already.

On Hallowed Ground is a useful source, also.

I cant remember ever reading about any large shakeups withing the ranks of the dwarven pantheon, with the exception of the gods of the Derro and Duergar.
Blackwill, you do know that most of the old editions products can be bought as downloads from Paizo or RPGnow? Not the same as the printed versions, but cheap and easier to get a hold of. |
