[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 6748559, member: 25818"] [b]Originally posted by lord_gore:[/b] I've updated the table with the domains (where available). Enjoy! I've also noticed that Sul Khatesh's influence overlaps with Bel Shalor... So I made a quick research and tried to fill in the missing domains (3.5 only), trying to take into account the various descriptions and information about each known Overlord (official domains are in black while my suggestions are in blue).

What do you think about it? I'd love to hear some feedback. [off topic] The other night, my players asked me about the Lords of Dust and the fiends in general. I made them roll Knowledge checks and they succeeded brilliantly. I then proceeded to explain them about the Khyber's bloodspawn, the Age of Fiends, the various fiends themselves and their loose organization (Lords of Dust, Bleak Congress, the Rajahs[Na-Vakhti]-Prakhutus-Fangs of Khyber chain of command, and so on...), the myths (the Shadow in the Flame) and all the the bits I could conceive/remember (various locations)...

I was mislead by Yad-Raghesh's description (colossal two-deaded tiger fiend) and I assumed that each Overlord was physically unique. After reading the Lords of Dust article on Dragon Magazine 337, I knew I had made a mistake since those portraits depict normal rakshasas albeit far more powerful, yet I still think that having some warped Overlords throws in some fun and makes the players feel the raw power of Khyber's blood. [/off topic] On another note, I also found some discordancy on the prakhutus' statistics: in some cases they are normal rakshasas, in other cases they're ak'chazar rakshasas. In my campaign, all prakhutus are ak'chazar rakshasas (except in the cases of Korliak, Mazyralyx, and Mordakhesh) and they have sorcerer (instead of wizard) levels and/or prestige classes level.
