ĭespite recent events, the number of dwarves who turned their back on Berronar and Moradin was steadily growing, believing the couple led a too-conservative philosophy. Rarely did faenor follow alternative paths, and the few who did usually became fighters and dwarven defenders. Berronar ran her church like a strict, but loving mother. This was done so visitors from other clans knew exactly where they fit in. In the rigid church structure, every cleric knew their place, and every clan's church was built to look alike. Their patience was definitely taxed by the number of twins from the Thunder Blessing. Serving as the moral compass of the dwarves, they could be very conservative and they did not tolerate foolhardiness and controversial ideas in young dwarves. By acting as teachers and healers, they aimed to further the good health and good character of the dwarven race. They archived the lore, traditions, and family histories of the dwarves. Faenor served as the guardians and protectors of dwarven clans. Worshipers īerronar's clerics were known as faenor, which translated as "those of the home". īerronar grieved for her failure to compromise with the dark cousins of the dwarves, the duergar and derro, though in truth there was nothing she could have done for them. She hated the orc, goblinoid, and giant deities nearly as much as her husband did. Clangeddin Silverbeard and Gorm Gulthyn were friends, but she was reserved towards Marthammor Duin, Dugmaren Brightmantle, and Deep Duerra. As an ideal wife to Moradin, she was one of the few he trusted completely. The Mother of Safety generally ensured that a relation formed became a healthy and loving marriage, while Sharindlar oversaw the earlier courtship. She worked closely together with Sharindlar to promote love among the dwarves. Relationships īerronar was too focused on the dwarven pantheon to give much attention to outsiders, but she was on friendly terms with the lead goddesses of friendly races such as the elves, gnomes, and halflings. In this new age, the Revered Mother gave council to Faerûn's most trusted orthodox dwarven clerics as a way to aid Moradin in charting the dwarven destiny. This decline finally seemed to have reversed with the coming of the Thunder Blessing in the 14th century. Traditionalists of dwarven culture claimed that without these qualities the Morndinsamman and perhaps even the entire dwarven race would not have survived their slow decline. The Revered Mother acted as an authority figure for the other dwarven gods and she used her skills in negotiation and her calm demeanor as a way to keep the pantheon unified when tensions rose. She could be strict and even fierce when the situation warranted, and would go to almost any extreme to protect the dwarves. Īt the same time, the indomitable Mother Goddess never wavered or despaired in the face of adversity or loss. The Revered Mother was gentle in speech and ever-forgiving of her children, divine or otherwise. With a merry disposition and hearty laugh constantly at the ready, Berronar's skills of persuasion were such that she could usually bring two foes to understand one another and set aside their differences. Personality īerronar was a kind and caring godess with strong maternal love for all dwarves (and even dwarven allies) who valued compassion, tradition, fidelity, and family. Berronar had the power to take the shape of an aged dwarf (of any sex) or even a short and stooped human crone, and when in this lesser form, none, whether mortal or god, could detect her divine nature or powers. Berronar appeared as either a 6 feet (1.8 meters) or 19 feet (5.8 meters) tall dwarf with a brown beard braided into four rows.
