Il-marenin

"Ilmarinen (also known as Ilmari and takoja iänikuinen or 'the eternal hammerer'), a blacksmith and inventor in the Kalevala, is a god and archetypal artificer from Finnish mythology. He is immortal and capable of creating practically anything. In addition, he is described as working the known metals of the time, including brass, copper, iron, gold, and silver. The great works of Ilmarinen include the crafting of the dome of the sky and the forging of the Sampo." [Ilmarinen, Wikipedia]

Il-marenin was worshipped by an early British tribe called the Sword People. Aryara of the Sword People called on Il-marenin before attacking the Children of the Night, and regarded their slain corpses as a sacrifice to Il-marenin. When Aryara was dying of his wounds, he could hear the voice of Il-marenin. Later, in the ages of Iron, Il-marenin was known as Wieland and Vulcan. [REH Children (online text)]

An ancient Briton named Vertorix exclaimed Il-marenin's name in stressful moments. [REH People (online text)]
