Reorx, also known as the forge, is a God in the fictional Dragonlance world. Reorx was the God who captured Chaos, the father of the Gods, in the Greygem of Gargath.

While humans tend to portray Reorx rather unflatteringly, as nothing but a paunchy squire of Kiri-Jolith, dwarves and gnomes hold him to be the highest of the Gods. This is perhaps due to the role that Reorx, and the Greygem, played in the creation of those races (along with the kender).

Reorx is the God of creation and technology, another quality that endeers him to both dwarves and gnomes. Unlike the constellations of the other Gods, Reorx appears in the sky as a single red star, said to be the light of his forge.

The fact that most of his followers are dwarves means that the church of Reorx is known for its stability. The dwarves have a pasion for heirachical organisations, and the church is no exception. Clerics of Reorx have an important role in dwarven public life. The church doesn't have as much influence in gnomish life, but the priesthood works with that of Sirrion to produce the metal required for gnomish invention.

Reorx often works with Shinare, Goddess of idustry and commerce, to help drive dwarven economies. He also grants inspiration to gnomes to help them on their life quests of developing wonderous machines. He is also fond of the kender, although he generally doesn't directly intervene in their lives.
