Deneir (/dəˈnɪər/ də-NEER) is a fictional minor deity on Faerûn, a fictional sub-continent in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
Ed Greenwood created Deneir for his home Dungeons & Dragons game, set in the Forgotten Realms.
Deneir first appeared within Dungeons & Dragons as one of the deities featured in Ed Greenwood's article "Down-to-earth Divinity" in Dragon #54 (October 1981). Deneir is introduced as Lord of All Glyphs and Images, god of literature and art, a neutral good demigod from the plane of the Happy Hunting Grounds. He is described as being connected to Oghma, and depicted as an old, balding sage with a flaming white beard, said to have manufactured the artifact Kuroth's Quill, and ascribed by his priests to have written most magical books and tomes. Deneir's alliances among the gods are also described: "Oghma is served by Gond on one hand, and by Milil and Deneir on the other." Deneir is commonly worshipped by magic-users, illusionists, thieves, clerics, as well as characters employed as poets, artists, scribes, and sages.
