Rejj's Tome of the Gods

Welcome to the domain of Kertigen! Kertigen is the god of craftsmen, metal workers, precious gems, wealth, prosperity, and Dwarven-folk. Those who wish to protect possessions from theft, or protect weapons and armor from damage, should seek to gain favor with Kertigen. Kertigen's favorite workers are leprechauns who guard his treasures with jealous vigilance. Kertigen's symbol is the raven.

Divyaush is Kertigen's Light aspect. He is a "merry bearded man with twinkling blue eyes." (The Immortals Chapter 1 Page 3) He often gives substantial sums of wealth to those who have his favor and will often send his personal assistant--the welkin--to help out needy craftsmen.
Not surprisingly, many children like Divyaush and leave out sweets, candy, and other treats for him at a special Midwinter festival. He often helps craftsmen notice their decisions--but never fixing them himself--and is noted for being goodly and paternal. Divyaush's symbol is the welkin.
