Does anyone have, or know if there exists, any additional information on the worship of Curna by dwarves in the Shining Lands?
I know the dwarves of Gemstone Chaka are canonically established as "devout worshipers of Curna" (The Shining South 2E p66), and that Curna is a goddess of wisdom (The Shining South 2E p59) later established to be an aspect or identity of Oghma (Shining South 3E p116), but that's all I've been able to dig up. I can find no specifics about why the dwarves worship Curna, nor how.
Is that material out there, or is that pretty much the beginning and end of it, as far as published stuff goes? A search here on Candlekeep turned up nothing about it, as well, so any help is appreciated, even if it's just to confirm that nothing else has ever been said on the matter (since then I know I'm free to make up whatever).

Thanks, that's what I hoped to hear!
If something were to turn up, at this point, I think it'd be so obscure as to be irrelevant, anyway. |

AD&D 2e Shining South P69 lists an elf priest of Curna:
"Jromin is the spiritual leader of the elves of the
Ajmer Forest. He is a devout priest of Curna,
greater power of wisdom."
"Another separate faction from the Shining South revere Oghma under the feminine guise of Curna, who they consider to be an aspect of the unifying world spirit they refer to as Adama. This sect is barely involved with the politics of the others and has a more common sense approach to knowledge, dealing primarily with knowledge of day-to-day current events."
