Daern (Greyhawk Action)

Greyhawk Action!

Daern is an ascended human of the Common pantheon and the goddess of fortification, and by extension of architecture and science, Daern represents a new tradition of intellectual gods and is an ascended mortal sponsored by Delleb.

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.

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.
