[edit] Publication history
Berronar Truesilver was first detailed in Roger E. Moore's article "The Dwarven Point of View," in Dragon #58 (TSR, 1982).[1] In Dragon #92 (December 1984), Gary Gygax indicated this as one of the deities legal for the Greyhawk setting.[2] She also appeared in the original Unearthed Arcana (1985).[3]
Berronar Truesilver was first detailed as part of the dwarven pantheon in the Forgotten Realms in Dwarves Deep (1990).[4] She was detailed in the book Monster Mythology (1992), including details about her priesthood.[5] Her role in the cosmology of the Planescape campaign setting was described in On Hallowed Ground (1996).[6] She received a very detailed description for his role in the Forgotten Realms in Demihuman Deities (1998).[7] She is described as one of the good deities that celestials can serve in the supplement Warriors of Heaven (1999).[8]
Berronar Truesilver's role in the Forgotten Realms is revisited in Faiths and Pantheons (2002).[9] Her priesthood is detailed for 3rd edition in Complete Divine (2004).[10]
[edit] Description
Berronar appears as a powerful female dwarf with a beard braided into four rows, wearing chain mail.
[edit] Relationships
In many campaign settings, the dwarven pantheon of gods consists of the leader Moradin, as well as Abbathor, Berronar Truesilver, Clanggedin Silverbeard, Dugmaren Brightmantle, Dumathoin, Muamman Duathal, and Vergadain. Other dwarven gods may be present in different campaign settings.
Berronar is the wife of Moradin. However, Races of Stone details a similar goddess named Mya, who is also listed as Moradin's wife. It is possible that Mya is an alternate name or aspect of Berronar, rather than a wholly separate goddess.
[edit] Realm
Berronar shares a realm with Moradin, Erackinor, on the plane of Mount Celestia. She acts as Moradin's consort.
