Daenyon is the god of thievery and the furthering of drow aims, interests, and power on the surface world.  He is also the god of drow males opposed to the matriarchy of Mazdra; he teaches that females are not better than drow males.  He believes that drow should work with other elven races for common advancement - never associating or trading with dwarven or gnomish races.  (Human and halflings can be tolerated.) Daenyon is handsome and vain, and does not forget slights and deceptions.

Daenyon is proud, haughty, and bears grudges of legendary lengths. Any underhanded means and treachery is acceptable to him if and only if it furthers his aims or is done in his service - but if others so treat him or his people, it is a deep sin that cannot go unpunished.

Daenyon is an active god who finds it difficult to hold aloof from the doings and needs of his worshippers.  Daenyon’s Avatar is of a thin, lithe drow male draped in black with an aura of grey about him. Despite a half mask over his face, one can still perceive his godly beauty and his glowing grey eyes.  The symbol of Daenyon is a shadowy half-mask.

Priests of Daenyon must encourage, lead, plan, finance, or aid bands of drow and allied evil aligned creatures in thievery, instigate plots, intrigues, and events to continually increase drow influence and real power in the surface Realm.
