Berronar Truesilver (BAlR-roe-nahr TROO-sihl-vur) is the bride of Moradin.
She dwells with him at the Soul Forge beneath the mountains in Solania
(fourth of the Seven Heavens, called Khynnduum in the oldest dwarven
writings). The Revered Mother is the defender and protector of the home not a passive homebody. She is seen as the patron of marriage and love,
and her name is often invoked in small home rituals for protection against
thieves and duplicity. Berronar is also the Power of healing. Lawful good
dwarves who value their families, clans, and the common strength and
security of dwarven society revere her for her caring and loving service to
the entire race. All dwarves of any alignment who seek a safe refuge or
who want their loved ones or relatives kept safe offer her appeasement as
well.
The Children of Moradin are shaped on the Soul Forge and ever warmed
by the embrace of the Revered Mother. Tend the hearth and home,
drawing strength and safety from truth, tradition, and the rule of law. Join
with friends, kin, and clan in common purpose. Do not succumb to the
misery of greed or the evils of strife, but always bring hope, health, and
cheer to those in need. Once an oath is made, Berronar watches over its
keeping - to break it is to grieve her sorely. Children must be cherished
and guarded well from harm, for they are future of the race.
Berronar's clerics serve as the guardians and protectors of dwarven clans;
they also maintain lore records and family histories. The members of
Berronar's clergy strive to further the good health and good character of
all dwarves. They heal the sick and injured, attempt to treat, eradicate,
and stop the spread of disease, develop antidotes to dwarfsbane and other
poisons that can affect dwarves, and encourage truthfulness, obedience to
law, peaceful harmony, and governance of greed and goldlust. Clerics of
Berronar never ignore a dwarf in need of aid, and they always help to the
best of their ability. If a cleric lacks magical means of curing, she or he
finds someone who can heal or provide all the non-magical care possible.
The duty of a cleric of Berronar is to keep every dwarf alive, whatever the
cost.

torches have been used). They can also find water, veins of ore, and
cracks or fissures that provide ways out, or can be mined to yield a way
from one cavern to another.
As Keeper of Secrets Under the Mountain, Dumathoin is the dwarves'
protector in death. While it may have been otherwise in the early days of
dwarven civilization, Dumathoin's clerics have been the primary morticians
and tomb protectors since the dwarves came to the Realms. In fact, clerics
of Dumathoin do their god justice as Keeper of Secrets, for it is incredibly
difficult to find dwarven tombs at all, let alone plumb their mysteries.
