Brúni-Bári is the name of the twin dwarven gods of carousing, drink, and feasting. The two figures are worshipped as a single divine entity with that share a single portfolio and divine source.
"May you hear us sing along, from the forest | To the tavern's hall, until we fall | Our blood is boiling fast | Like mead poured on the table | In the tavern's hall, until we fall." - Traditional Dwarven Drinking Song
Unique among many of Lloegyr's deities, Brúni-Bári is a twin-aspected god, consisting of two twin brothers; Brúni, the brewer, and Bári, the cooper. The two were twin brothers in life who shared a bond stronger than a steel barrel hoop, and are said to have ascended to divinity together; as the saying goes, "what good is a stout ale with no one to drink it with?" Observers of the faith of the Twin Tankards will interchangably refer to the god as the combined name Brúni-Bári, to the twins as their separate names, or simply as 'the Brothers'. They represent the unity of the dwarven people and the love of celebration after a hard day's work; a reminder for dwarves to remember to enjoy the grand halls they build and revel in the knowledge of what it is that they fight for. Brúni-Bári, as a god celebrating the miracle of alcohol, is often looked upon as a less 'serious' god than the likes of Dwerfater or Barator, and particularly stoic dwarves may even forgo drink and celebration to spurn the brothers and their distractions from duty. These grumpy dwarves are looked upon with sadness, but Brúni-Bári does not smite those that spurn him; he prefers to take care of those drinking in his name. In addition to drinking, Brúni-Bári oversees the sacraments of feasting, singing, dancing, and otherwise having fun at the expense of one's inhibitions. Brúni-Bári encourages reasonable excess, and names moderation as a cardinal sin.
