Deep Duerra (pronounced: DWAIR-uh), also known as
Queen of the Invisible Art or the
Axe Princess of Conquest, was the
DUEREGAR goddess of psionics, conquest and expansion.
Following:
Deep Duerra and her clerics were known below the surface as
Norothor ("those who seized enemy lands"). While very few surfacers knew of the goddess and her faith, the
Norothor were the talk of underground waystations and trading communities because of their recent efforts in the
UNDERDARK. Even the older
DUEREGAR who served
LADUGUER considered the
Norothor to be a nuisance, because of the strong degree in which they preached expansionism. Regardless, the
Norothor served an important role in
DUEREGAR society, since they trained the natural psionic abilities of young gray
DWARVES, they attended to and controlled the underclass of slaves, and they scouted and cleared out nearby tunnels so the community could continue to grow. Because of their focus on the mental disciplines they were often used as ambassadors to psionic races such as the illithids and aboleths. The brashness inherent of the faith however, ensured that many of these missions ended disastrously. Duerra's temples were constructed in symmetric patterns meant to be visually appealing, and they featured an empty seat at the center of the centermost room. This seat was called the
Daul's Throne and served to remind the
Norothor that Deep Duerra was always present and watching.
Norothor frequently multiclass as fighter or as psions.
