Dammar
The Denied (planar psychopomp usher of liquor, luck and medicine [they/them] / N)
Portfolio: Liquor, luck and medicine
Realm: Outlands / Underlands
Alignment: N
Dammar focuses on the aspect of life rather than death. This unique role makes Dammar a critical figure in the balance between life, death, and rebirth. Known as the Denied, Dammar serves as a monitor for those attempting to return to the mortal realm from the Underlands, ensuring that such journeys are neither excessively frequent nor easily achieved.
Dammar’s concern extends beyond just the act of returning from death however. They are also recognised as the usher of doctors and medicine, reflecting a broader guardianship over the preservation of life and health. Furthermore, Dammar’s association with alcohol and its production ties them to one of the oldest and most widespread medical preparations in human history. Chant goes the creation of the hangover was down to Dammar, suggesting a whimsical intention to give mortals a glimpse of what lies beyond the veil of life.
Physically, Dammar is described as a portly, androgynous figure enshrouded in multiple layers of silk robes, with their face concealed behind a veil. Unusually, Dammar possesses many insect-like legs that protrude from beneath their robes. While they typically do not display arms, Dammar can manifest numerous arms when needed to perform various tasks. This extraordinary ability, combined with a supposed affinity for cockroaches, has given Dammar an additional reputation as the usher of insects and other creeping creatures.
