Berronar Truesilver Berronar Truesilver ( " bair " - oh - nahr " troo " - sill - vur ) was an intermediate deity in the dwarven pantheon . She was also known as The Revered Mother or the Mother of Safety . Activities . Berronar was Moradin ' s bride and as such the matriarch of the dwarven pantheon . 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 . 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 . This decline finally seemed to have reversed with the coming of the Thunder Blessing in the 14th century . 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 . Regardless of these recent events , the number of dwarves who turned their back on Berronar and Moradin was steadily growing , since they believed the couple led a too - conservative philosophy . Followers . Berronar ' s cleric s were known as " faenor " , which translated as " those of the home " . Faenor served as the guardians and protectors of dwarven clans . They archived the lore , traditions , and family histories of the dwarves . By acting as teachers and healers , they aimed to further the good health and good character of the dwarven race . 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 . Their patience was definitely taxed by the number of twins from the Thunder Blessing . In the rigid church structure , every cleric knew his or her place , and every clan ' s church was built to look alike . This was done so visitors from other clans knew exactly where they fit in . Berronar ran her church like a strict , but loving mother . Rarely did faenor follow alternative paths , and the few who did usually became fighter s and dwarven defender s . Rituals . The faenor prayed for spells at dawn . They organized many mundane rituals for the dwarf communities , but were best known for their marriages . Their reputation in organizing marriage ceremonies was so widespread that even some non - dwarves asked a faenor to conduct their marriage rite . Each year , offerings of silver were made to Berronar , usually coupled with a small white flower so as to show appreciation for Berronar ' s motherly love towards all dwarves . Midwinter Day . Midwinter Day was one of two significant holy days for the faenor . On this day , they held fantastic celebrations below ground . Midsummer Night . Midsummer Night was the second significant holy day to the faithful of Berronar . This night they organized celebrations above ground . They also invited members of friendly neighboring communities and travelers , rarely non - dwarven though . Relationships . Berronar 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 . She worked closely together with Sharindlar to promote love among the dwarves . The Mother of Safety generally ensured that a relation formed became a healthy and loving marriage , while Sharindlar oversaw the earlier courtship . As an ideal wife to Moradin , she was one of the few he trusted completely . Clangeddin Silverbeard and Gorm Gulthyn were friends , but she was reserved towards Marthammor Duin , Dugmaren Brightmantle , and Deep Duerra . She hated the orc , goblinoid , and giant deities nearly as much as her husband did .
