That's it. Inform, cite, refer and speculate at will.
It's almost 2015 and I don't see the glorious Gorm Gulthyn on that list.
Oh, of which, they'd be referred to as either Barakor (those who shield) if they're clergy, or "Vigilant/Dwarven Hero" if they're just followers (because Gorm Gulthyn is such a badass that even his standard followers are badasses).
(Gorm Gulthyn is the honey badger of dwarven deities, defendin' strongholds and kickin' drow ass right and left.)
EDIT: Also, this didn't happen. Don't let anyone say it did. This doesn't exist, no siree.

Hey, look what I found! It's an online copy of Powers and Pantheons. According to that, Jergal's faithful are called Jergali. It's a 2nd Edition D&D book, but it seems safe to presume that its lore (or at least the bits that weren't overwritten by future editions) still stands, doesn't it?
There doesn't seem to be a generic name for Lurue's faithful, but Lurue's clerics are called Silvermaids because Lurue doesn't welcome men among her clergy. Because unicorns are flippin' sexist bigots, that's why. :P
(By the way, Red Wizards, your creation of the black unicorns makes Lurue cry. Stop doing that. :( )

RE: What's That Parish Called Again...? - Wids - 12-14-2014
Hey, Carcass, look over there! There's a special chair for you, right over there in the corner where MoreThanThree's sitting. Here, wear this goofy paper hat. Now you and Three have your own clique going! There you go. Have fun, you right couple of jokers. :P
(Also, you didn't come up with one for Loviatar's bunch? You disappoint me. :P )
Oh, and I also dug up Faiths and Avatars. I wonder if this might clear anything else up. Man, clerics really got screwed in their numbers of spells back in the AD&D days. You cleric-players who didn't join in until 3.0 or after have no idea how good you really have it.
(And ha ha, look at that pic on Page 32! Look at puny little Malar! Yeah, Malar, just keep thinking that you'd have the slightest chance if you threw down with Auril or Umberlee or Talos, let alone all three of them together in a big Gods o' Fury free-for-all. You'd get curbstomped in the first two rounds. What kind of loser worships a god like Malar the Loser God, anyway?)

It looks like Faiths and Avatars could have used a bit more editing. I've counted a handful of typos already.
And aren't Glyphscribes specialty priests of Deneir, Gatalis? I was looking more for the rank-and-file clergy of this god or that god. Or should I go ahead and toss in the nomenclatures for each god's specialty priests, or would that look too cluttery?
(Oh, okay, I'll toss your suicidal losery dwarf god into the list too. But I'm a fan of Luthic, so I'd better find something on the orcs' mother goddess too, daggit.... :P )
RE: What's That Parish Called Again...? - Bertram Anders - 12-14-2014
Faiths and Pantheons made no distinction in the clergy for Deneir.
RE: What's That Parish Called Again...? - Wids - 12-14-2014
I'm reading Faiths and Avatars (still), and it does have this to say about Deneir's faithful:
"Clergy members are known as Deneirrath. Only about 15% of clergy members are specialty priests."
Specialty priests of Deneir are Glyphscribes, and I can't find any generic term for a worshipper of Deneir. Deneirrath wear cloaks with colors and patterns designating each cleric's rank in the church (any rank from Applicant to High Scrivener). I'm not seeing any specific role which the Glyphscribes play in the Church of Deneir, but they have special powers enabling them to identify any glyph, create various glyphs and wards, and speak the language of any sentient creature native to Abeir-Toril whom they happen to come across. Maybe Glyphscribes are supposed to be wandering diplomats and lore-gatherers or something.
Anyway, Deneirrath. Should we run with that?
RE: What's That Parish Called Again...? - Bertram Anders - 12-14-2014
I like it.
RE: What's That Parish Called Again...? - Wids - 12-15-2014
Okay, we'll run with that. :)
I'm at Shaundakul's entry in Faiths and Avatars right now, and it looks like his clergy are called Shaundakun, with Windwalkers as their specialty priests. Shaundakul's clergy also honor the Windride on the 15th of Tarsakh, during which they pretty much jump up and ride the winds for a whole day, not particularly caring where the wind drops them off and making an adventure of wherever they land. Unless the wind drops them off inside an active volcano, I imagine. That would suck. Wouldn't it, Pleiade? ;)
Speaking of holidays, remember when I made this thread? Since then, we've established that Thay's March 15 (for example) usually won't coincide with our March 15, and several days in Thay pass for every one of our days. So how do we go about setting up holiday celebrations and events on this server, now that I think about it?
