Daern is the Oeridian hero-deity of defenses and fortifications. Daern's holy symbol is a shield hanging from a parapet. She is often associated with griffins.
Description
Daern is depicted as a black-haired Oeridian woman with a plain face and strong blue eyes.
Relationships
Daern's apotheosis was sponsored by Delleb. She is allied with Heironeous.
Worshippers
Clergy
Daern's priests often advise military leaders on proper placement and construction of fortifications, castles, and keeps. Her priests are valued among rulers who wish to establish stronger borders. The priesthood favors the shortspear.
History
In her mortal life, Daern was responsible for the construction of a number of famous fortifications, including Castle Blazebane in Almor and Tarthax (currently known as Goldbolt) near Rel Deven. Some sources in the Great Kingdom imply that she was involved in the construction of the Imperial Palace at Rauxes, though this event occurred some time after her supposed death (some time after the Battle of a Fortnight's Length in -110 CY). The Tower of Daern in Irongate was based on her plans.
Daern's Instant Fortress
Daern's Instant Fortress is a magic item that appears as a small metal cube. When its command word is spoken, the cube grows into a 30-foot tall tower instantly.
