Danu
Keeper of Knowledge, Guardian of Truth, God of Scholars, the Sagacious God
Danu is the goddess of knowledge, prophecy and skill.
Danu represents another side of civilization, that of learning, knowledge, and understanding. She encourages mortals to learn, plan, and understand that which they build.
Danu's church is relatively widespread in civilized lands, but has never held much power or political influence. Most Danu clerics avoid politics whenever possible, content to instead seek out books, preserve knowledge, and share their love of learning. The church of Danu usually maintains a temple or shrine in larger towns and cities, often as part of a larger museum, library, or academic institution.
Not surprisingly, Danu has proven a favorite patron god amongst wizards, teachers, alchemists, and sages. Danu stands for learning about magic and understanding the art.
Few temples dedicated to Danu exist in small towns or villages, and they are practically nonexistent in wilderness areas. In centuries past, the church operated far more temples, and Danu's priests served as librarians, sages, and teachers in almost every nation.
