Former Paladin Guildleader in Crossings. Replaced by Darius.

Commentary

The name Beren also appears in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, and is referenced in his Lord of the Rings saga. While the entire game and indeed the whole fictional genre of pseudo-medieval fantasy are heavily influenced by Tolkien, instances in which small elements of the author's work were apparently copied directly have appeared in DragonRealms. Some, like the character Beren and the secret mountain door in Zoluren that contained the exact same entrance riddle as did the Mines of Moria in Fellowship of the Ring, have been quietly removed from the game.
