Berronar Truesilver
(a.k.a. The Revered Mother, Mother of Safety)
Berronar is Moradin's bride and as such the matriarch of the dwarven pantheon. The Revered Mother acts as an authority figure for the other dwarven gods and she uses her skills in negotiation and her calm demeanor as a way to keep the pantheon unified when tensions rise.

Tenets of Faith
Berronar's clerics are known as faenor, which translates as "those of the home". Faenor serve as the guardians and protectors of dwarven clans. They archive the lore, traditions, and family histories of the dwarves. By acting as teachers and healers, they aim to further the good health and good character of the dwarven race. Serving as the moral compass of the dwarves, they can be very conservative and they do not tolerate foolhardiness and controversial ideas in young dwarves.
In the rigid church structure, every cleric knows his or her place, and every clan's church is built to look alike. This is done so visitors from other clans know exactly where they fit in. Berronar runs her church like a strict, but loving mother.
The faenor pray for spells at dawn. They organize many mundane rituals for the dwarf communities, but are best known for their marriages. Their reputation in organizing marriage ceremonies is so widespread that even some non-dwarves ask a faenor to conduct their marriage rite. Each year, offerings of silver are made to Berronar, usually coupled with a small white flower so as to show appreciation for Berronar's motherly love towards all dwarves.
