Yussack is a very practical, down-to-earth deity who believes in skill, hard work and making an honest living. He is popular among a wide range of humans and demihumans, especially dwarves who consider themselves a race of craftsmen. Yussack is most famous as the blacksmith of the gods, similar to the Greek god Hephaestus, but his interests are wider, and he appreciates any who create things that can be sold, including carpenters, tailors, jewelsmiths, glassblowers and even shipwrights. He takes pride in his creations and expects his followers to strive to produce goods of quality - shoddy work is as bad as no work at all. He can be somewhat more interested in the production of items than what they are used for - he has no problem with the creation of instruments of torture as long as they are well made. Yussack and his followers have a strong work ethic - he encourages them to make a decent living from hard work and disapproves of fraud, theft or directly harming competitors. Outperforming competitors fairly is lauded of course. Yussack has some interest in merchants and trade, but he views this as more of a way to spread the craftsmanship around so they can be used and admired and encourage the production of more goods - he is not that involved in the intricacies and subtleties of business deals or finance.
Yussack has appeared in various forms throughout human history in Tersius though he arrived in the City-States of Sorquos via the Irryllian Empire where he also has a strong following. Yussack has a particularly large congregation in the city of Ironport where dwarves and humans meet to trade, and his temple there is quite impressive and the archbishop sits on the city council.
In terms of Pathfinder 1E rules, Yussack is Lawful Neutral with Lawful Good tendencies. His favoured weapon is a warhammer (often shaped to resemble a blacksmith's hammer, and may be multi-purpose in that regard). His prefered domains (of which his clerics can choose two) are Artifice, Law and Community. His clerics may be any lawful alignment as well as True Neutral or Neutral Good. His symbol is
