In the History of Duergar we discussed their origin and way of life, here we discuss their religious beliefs and way of worship. Laduguer and Deep Duerra form a dual symbiosis that controls the Duergar society and protects them from outside influence. Gracklstugh would not have withstood all the violence sent against it if not for these two. The children of Laduguer shall conquer the earth and stone from which they sprang and the voids in which they dwell. The seizing of new lands, new wealth, and new servitors is the manifest destiny of those who mine the Night Below. Magic is weak, unreliable, and unsubtle when compared to the powers of the mind unless bequeathed and steadied by the will of the gods. By means of the Invisible Art, the duergar shall destroy or enslave all those reliant upon petty magics to survive. ------------------------------ And as always, follow the holy words of Oghma - "Like, Share, Subscribe." ------------------------------ Faerun History makes videos for DM’s and Players who wish to know more about the Forgotten Realms Lore.

The Morninglord has a long and interesting history, but how is his church run? What do his followers value and what sort of people go to his sermons? This video takes a look at the faith of Lathander and how someone who stumbled into a follower of Lathander would be treated and what sort of activities his church would do. It talks about the rituals and festivals the church holds, what titles are used in the temple and what sort of reasons someone would go to a local chapter. While not every temple of Lathander is welcoming and innocent as the perspective of Orlpar the Dawnmaster here, the church of Lathander is one of the more open and welcoming places in the realm. Last time we discussed churches, we tackled Bane and his doctrine. The intent behind this series is to move away from the Gods and their ploys and look at how their worshipers work. What are their temples involved in? Why would you join? What attitudes and perspectives would a follower of the divine being hold.
