Meriadar is a deity of patience, tolerance, meditation, and arts and crafts.
Description
Meriadar is a patchwork creature like his chosen race. He is portrayed with an elf's ears, a dwarf's nose, a human chin, an orc's jaw, and a gnome's eyes. Other details of his appearance - height, build, skin tone, and so on - change from moment to moment.
Realm
Meriadar lives in Arcadia in his realm, the Hand of Peace, located on the layer of Buxenus. The Hand of Peace is a refuge of sorts from the often intolerant Arcadian militias.
Dogma
Meriadar teaches patience and respect to all creatures. He expects open-mindedness and compassion, and expects his followers to attempt to meet and befriend other races. He encourages the mongrelfolk to blend in with other races when they can, remembering that they represent the logical conclusion of a mixed society.
Worshippers
Meridar's chief worshippers are mongrelfolk and non-evil orcs and goblinoids of any type.
Clergy
Priests of Meriadar teach mongrelfolk the ways of the races they live among, help establish and maintain hidden communities, and see to the welfare of the misshapen ones who cannot pass as other races.
