Laduguer

The Exile, The Gray Protector, Master of Crafts, The Slave Driver, The Taskmaster, The Harsh

Since his ejection from the Morndinsamman, Laduguer viewed other dwarven gods as layabouts who prized their traditions over progress. Under his guidance, the duergar have forged a sternly militant society based on obedience to one’s leaders, the holding of slaves, and the constant pursuit of magic weapon innovation. Laduguer teaches extreme xenophobia to his followers as a matter of course; the followers of the taskmaster limit their contact with outsiders to brief, necessary trade, or slave raids.
There are no Ladugurite holidays, as breaking from one’s strict work regiment is a danger to duergar society.
The Thuldor are the ranking members of Laduguer’s clergy. Bearing a title meaning "those who endure", the Thuldor often function as both religious and secular leaders in a society that sees little division between the two.
Because the Thuldor practice the depth of their worship by devoting at least one hour a day to the crafting of magical weapons, their temples often contain artificer workshops and organized troves of ingredients.
Non-duergar Ladugurites are rare, but not unheard of, and typically looked down upon by their fellow clergy. They justify themselves by behaving as slaves to Laduguer himself, and often adorn themselves with chains and manacles. Though they will never achieve roles of leadership within duergar society, they consider it their duty to extend his reach and domination over others beyond the Underdark.
