In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Vergadain is the dwarf deity of wealth and luck.
In many campaign settings, the dwarven pantheon of gods consists of the leader Moradin, as well as Abbathor, Berronar Truesilver, Clanggedin Silverbeard, Dugmaren Brightmantle, Dumathoin, Muamman Duathal, and Vergadain. Other dwarven gods may be present in different campaign settings.
Vergadain shares the Dwarven Mountain on the Outlands with Dugmaren and Dumathoin.
Vergadain's priests dress in the finest golden chain mail and helmets. His holy days are on the full moon, and gold is sacrificed to him monthly.
