Siamorphe The current Siamorphe ( pronounced " SIGH - a - morf " or " SEE - a - morf " ) usually appears as an older lady of the nobility , her hair touched with grey but well kept , and her iron - gray eyes missing nothing . Her clothing shows the jeweled purple of the true nobility , with a silver chalice and adamantine scepter in her hands , and a tiara carved from a single diamond on her brow . Siamorphe is the vessel of a semi - divine power , which is passed down to a successor when the successor is dying . The current Siamorphe is the latest in that lineage . By preference , the successor is a direct descendant of the previous power ’ s mortal form , but anyone of noble blood will suffice . The former Siamorphe was a nobleman of Baldur ' s Gate , who passed the power to Lady Siamorphe of Waterdeep , chosen when she was killed in a riot in the Year of the Dusty Throne ( 1256 DR ) . Her portfolio is providing the Divine Right of nobility to rule , and encouraging the responsibility to rule well and wisely for the more common classes beneath them . Her worship is most common among the nobility and their councilors , especially among those who seek reasons to explain why they are in charge . Relationships . Though she dwells in the House of the Triad , she has no true allies or superiors among the gods . She opposes those who foster tyranny and corruption , most especially Bane , Cyric , and Gargauth . Perhaps Siamorphe ' s greatest divine foe is Gargauth , for the Hidden Lord opposes all that she stands for . Where she supports correct rule , he calls for corruption and self serving . Where her priests advise on the path of wisdom and virtue , his serve themselves first and teach others to do the same . Dogma . Nobles are given a divine right to rule , provided they rule responsibly and well . The nobility have an obligation ( " noblesse oblige " ) to rule with the best interest of their subjects in mind , even when those obligations interfere with their personal desires . The benefits of nobility are provided to them so that they can rule well . Their wisdom and charisma are inherited from their noble ancestors , and the leisure that their station provides is theirs so that they may be educated to properly perform their duties . The Faith . The priests of Siamorphe ’ s faith , called Scions of Siamorphe , most often act as advisers ( both spiritual and practical ) to the nobility . Elaborate rituals are being revived from the decay that had occurred under the previous Siamorphe , and unique ceremonies are being created for the noble families of Waterdeep and Tethyr , and are becoming quite fashionable . A baptism ceremony for a new heir can easily cost the family 10 , 000 gold coins . The faith supports a holy day in the Sea Ward and North Ward of Waterdeep called the Divine Revelry . The nobility takes over the Heroes ' Walk and Heroes ' Garden and the Street of Glances down to the temple at the Street of the Singing Dolphin . During the Divine Revelry , the nobles dress and act in archaic and stilted fashions , and throw coins ( most often copper and silver ) to the commoners . Temples . Most of Siamorphe ' s temples are small family shrines in the houses of the nobility of Waterdeep , and recently in Tethyr . Her only true remaining temple is the Chapel and Chalice of the Divine Right in Waterdeep . The relatively small house of worship is within the walls of the Assumbar family ’ s villa , and is the central building of the three that border the Street of the Singing Dolphin . " The following paragraphs are speculation based on the silence of canon sources after Powers and Pantheons , but is extrapolated from material in that book . " The current First High Lady Scion of the faith is the Lady Harlaa , niece of the Lady Belkerri who founded the Chapel and Chalice of the Divine Right in 1347 DR . The remainder of the temple ’ s staff is drawn from the children of the local nobility . This speculation is based on the fact that Lady Harlaa was listed as Lady Belkerri ' s assistant in Powers and Pantheons , though given the focus on hereditary succession , Lady Belkerri ' s youngest son , Lord Vrom , is probably as likely to have become her successor .
