Habitats[]

Cormyr Heartlands

A group of deer in the Heartlands of Cormyr.

Deer were commonly found in the Pellamcopse Woods, north of Waterdeep.[15]

In north Faerûn, deer could be found in the Tangled Vale[16] and throughout the forests of the Vast.[17]

In the Unapproachable East, deer could be found in the Tannath Gap, Rashemen, and Immil Vale.[18]

Beyond Toril, deer inhabited the planet known as Radole.[19] Giant black stags with red eyes that could gore an elephant with ease served the goddess Beshaba and inhabited her Abyssal realm of the Blood Tor.[20]

Relationships[]

Hybsils were often on good terms with deers.[21]

Deer were the preferred animal manifestations of Gwaeron Windstrom, Shiallia, and Silvanus. Stags in particular were favored by the gods Baervan Wildwanderer, Eldath, and Rillifane Rallathil.[22] A white hart in the High Forest was considered sacred to Mielikki.[23]

Usage[]

Deer meet was eaten under the name venison. In the Hollowhar area of Silverymoon, peppered venison stew was popular and venison-and-mushroom broth was a specialty of Swordsfall House.[24]

Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue sold deer hides for 4 gold pieces a piece.[25]

The antlers of deer could be boiled down to create a sort of glue.[26]

Cultural Significance[]

  • Throughout the Realms, the words "doe" and "stag" were used as polite and rather bardic terms for one's female or male lover respectively.[27]
