LAA
Major goddess, LG - Hills,
Mountains, Gemstones
Whether Ulaa is most akin to
humans, gnomes, or dwarves is subject to debate. She is as tall and broad
as a dwarf, has features such as gnomes do, but her husband Bleredd is
most certainly human in aspect. Of course, being who she is, Ulaa can
appear as male or female, dwarf, gnome, human, or just about any sort of
creature she chooses. Ulaa dwells most frequently on the Prime Material
and Elemental Earth Planes.
In such locales she is most at
home, for she loves both rolling hills and craggy peaks, earthen burrows
and stoney vaults. Ulaa typically accouters herself in adamantite mail
with many gems decorating her harness and weapons. With her always are her
military pick and hammer of thunderbolts. She can hurl this weapon, whose
name translates as "Skull Ringer." This weapon is particularly
deadly against humanoids, killing as many as 25 in a single pass. Ogres,
ogre-magi, trolls of all sorts, ettins, all giants other than cloud or
storm, and all golems other than iron ones are slain instantly if struck
by ''Skull Ringer. 
Because of her affinity for the
earth and minerals, all but evil-natured earth elemental creatures respect
Ulaa. Those of good nature will serve her upon request. Those inimical to
her flee in terror at the sight of her. Ulaa possesses many gems and
jewels, some of which are magical. Powers vary from those of elemental
command to command of earth and mineral. Those who find favor with her
will usually receive one or more magical jewels intermixed with a reward
of gemstones.
In addition to being able to pass
through earth and rock at a very fast rate, Ulaa has many magical powers
connected to earth. No earth-based spells can harm or hamper her.
Clerics of Ulaa wear green and
brown initially, then brown, brown and gray, and all gray at the highest
levels.
There are many demi-humans
(dwarves, gnomes, and halflings) who serve Ulaa, and there are fair
numbers of humans (mostly hillmen, mountaineers, miners, and quarrymen)
who do likewise. As would be expected, shrines, chapels, and temples are
exclusively found in hills or mountains, if not subterranean.
Services in honor of Ulaa are
always in a stoney area, with earth and gemstones displayed. Hammering on
stone, rhythmically, and chanting in deep notes, serve as the hymn.
