In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Beory is the Flan goddess of the Oerth, nature, and rain. She is also known as the Oerth Mother. Her symbol is either a green disk marked with a circle or a rotund, female figurine.

[edit] Description

Beory is considered to be a manifestation of the Oerth itself. She does not care for anything else, and mortals or other deities only concern her if they threaten the Oerth. She is distant even from her own clerics, who wander the earth to experience the different parts of the world. They spend their time communing with nature and often associate with druids.

[edit] Worshippers

Beory is worshipped widely throughout the Flanaess, but particularly in the County of Ulek, Furyondy, Perrenland, and Tenh. Her faith is prevalent among the tribespeople of Flan descent, such as the Rovers of the Barrens and the Bright Lands.
