Editing Laduguer (section)

==Worshippers==
Priests of Laduguer are called '''Thuldors''', and are distinguished by a brand of Laduguer's holy symbol on their forehead and by the practice of wearing unpolished iron breastplates emblazoned with the same broken crossbow bolt symbol. Only the strongest of duergar are selected to be thuldors, as the training is literally torturous; hours of repetitive prayer, interspersed with hard physical labor, branding, torture and other acts that require feats of superhuman endurance, culminating in being tied between two crushing stone blocks and left in solitude for a week. Many don't survive the training.

Holy Quests of Laduguer often revolve around awakening - and hopefully controlling - some long-buried evil of some kind.

Prayers to Laduguer are simple one-or-two-sentence affairs, but they're repeated dozens of times, with exactly the same rhythm and intonation each time. They're intended to be used to guide his followers at their work; as God of Toil, Laduguer has few rites, because time spent in ceremonies is time spent away from work. Temples to the Gray Protector are structural marvels, but completely lacking any form of ornamentation, and often with attached torture chambers, prison cells and battle arenas.
