Durbegar the Enamoured

Durbegar the Enamoured is a Lesser Deity in Tebrith. Specifically, she is one of the Guardians of the Shards. According to the rhyme, she is the "One who laughs".

She was an orc barbarian named Durbegar Beastbelt, who fell desperately in love with Vewin, The Scales. Due to this infatuation, she nominated herself as a Guardian for the shard, even though she was not of sound mind to do so. As a result, she has been driven mad by the power of it, and is barely a shadow of what she once was: she is so ancient, wizened, and emaciated that it's impossible to tell she used to be an orc.

Due to her madness, she can often be heard gently cooing to the shard, and giggling in bouts of hysteria, as if it were speaking back to her. She can barely move on her own, dedicating all of her being to the shard. If the shard is threatened, however, in an instant she returns to her true form as Durbegar the Enamoured, and, using the power of the shard, is almost impossible to beat.

She can be found in a small hut in the middle of the area in between Gruyh Skyah and Strongfield, in the north half of the continent.
