campaign setting s for the "Dungeons & Dragons "role-playing game , Parrafaire is the naga deity of guardianship. He guards magical secrets and hidden places underground. His symbol is a male naga head with feathered ears.Description
Parrafaire uses riddles, puzzles, non-lethal traps, and diversions to prevent all but those who he judges worthy from discovering the things under his aegis. Parrafaire is unconcerned with morality, admiring only mental skill. He has a weakness for flattery.
Parrafaire appears as a water naga with feathered ears and wings like those of a
couatl . The color of his skin and feathers changes to match his environment, or as he wishes.Relationships
Parrafaire is said to be the son of
Shekinester andJazirian . He aids his mother Shekinester in protecting her secrets, as well as a variety of other deities, including the dwarven deityDumathoin .Realm
Parrafaire lives in the realm of "Trickster's Delight" on the plane of
Carceri , but he may move through the planes and manifest avatars as a greater deity (because of his mother's aid).Worshippers
Parrafaire has no priests and few worshippers of his own, acting instead as a servant of other gods. Most nagas give him at least indirect homage, however.
