Dwarven Pantheon
The Forgotten Realms sourcebook “Faith and Pantheons” was used extensively here;
we highly recommend it as your source for information that is more
detailed than what is presented below.
For deities that have clerics, shrines, or sacred locations within this module, we’ve made notations and have included some information on their dogma as role-play aids for players. We’ve also included dogma information on the deities more commonly chosen by our players.
Clerical domains available in NWN that have been approved for each deity are
listed in green at the end the entry.
All clerics must choose from the Approved NWN Domains determined by deity selection.
