D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

Maxperson

Morkus from Orkus
Belief is passive in the sense that the god isn't actively going around doing things to get people to worship it. Sure, it grants cleric spells (unless it's getting some other god to grant them, or the cleric is gaining spells through sheer belief), but it's not actually putting out much effort. Its clerics are the ones who actually do the preaching and conversion, while the god sits back and reaps the rewards, like in a pyramid scheme.

The Harmonium put out the active effort to remove chaos from Arcadia, but did so without kindness or decency and often by using cruel methods. The evil of their actions removed enough good to tip the balance from Lawful Neutral Good to just Lawful Neutral.

As for Yeenoghu, he actively instructed his followers to murder any gnoll who didn't worship him. I'm not even 100% sure he allowed for conversion. Some gnolls worshiped Gorellik or even Vaprak and got killed for it. Vaprak wasn't weakened because he had ogres and trolls, but nobody worshiped Gorellik but gnolls. Hence the decline.

However, it's important to realize that, as far as I can tell, Gorellik has been in slow decline since 1e (at least since Yeenoghu was created) but is still alive. So, I don't know how much time has passed in-setting since then (since that, of course, depends on the setting and individual DM), but it's implied that this happened a long time ago, not recently.

Maybe there are a few holdouts who still worship him, on worlds yet untouched by 5e's retcon of gnoll origins. Or maybe he has no worshipers at all but is still holding on due to plot armor, because "god in decline" is potentially more interesting and useful than "god-corpse that nobody knows who it was or who worshiped it."
I know there were a few other gods that I've seen, but I can't find them and am giving up at this point. Since I can't find them, I'll walk back the "short time frame" comment I made.
Yeah, but not if it keeps contradicting other pieces of canon. Like with Iuz. He "should" be a lesser god at least. But he's not. Because of plot armor.
I'm still far from convinced that he has a large enough fan base to be more powerful than a demigod.
It's been a while since I read the book. Does it say what dwindle means? I imagine it would mean that they would lose their shape and go back to being dreams and nothing more. However, I don't think that Realms or Greyhawk gods work like that. They don't seem to "dwindle" in that manner. They remain gods, albeit of a lower rank. They don't even have the cool option of becoming a different type of power:

View attachment 145063
It says that their might diminishes, not their shape and form. They might eventually go back to being dreams instead of dead gods on the astral, but they'd drop from greater to lesser to demigod first.

And I loved the Banjo storyline. :)

And again, this is 1e. As of 3e he has significantly more. Below is from the 3e PHB page 53

"Some sorcerers favor Boccob (god of magic), while others revere Wee Jas (goddess of death and magic). However, many sorcerers follow some other deity, or none at all. (Wizards typically learn to follow Boccob or Wee Jas from their mentors, but most sorcerers are self-taught, with no master to induct them into a religion)."

From 3e PHB page 55

"Wizards commonly revere Boccob (god of magic)."

Whether he wants it or not, or cares or not, he gets the worship.

So, some sorcerers and maybe half of wizards... do you think there are hundreds of thousands of wizards and sorcerers in Greyhawk?

And sages. And clerics. And likely bards. And apparently yes. By RAW anyway. Do I really think there are a million+(hundreds of thousands were for intermediate gods)? No. He should probably be a lesser god.

I'm sorry, did he have bard and sage worshipers? You only listed wizards and sorcerers, so I didn't expect you to suddenly start adding to the list.

But you do point out a problem with your theory I was about to get to. You'd need hundreds of thousands or millions of worshipers for every deity in Greyhawk. So, just rounding to a million per god, you'd be looking at a population of the section of the continent where greyhawk is set as a minimum of 155 million people. And that is if every single person was a "true worshiper"

Which isn't super unreasonable, you have a billion people in China after all.... except wasn't there a rather famous article posted about how the world of Greyhawk seems to have an incredibly low population density? Right here. Which makes me wonder how well this is supported to have a minimum of 155 million people, which by the way, doesn't have more humans than other races, this is literally just "by god" so this doesn't represent rare races as being fewer in number.

And so, this seems.... highly unlikely.

Sure, I mean, we know he has a big empire, but we don't know how many True Believers he has, or for that matter, if the soul husks he used to help him achieve divinity had any affect on his status. He probably doesn't have that many who truly worship him, though, for reasons you mentioned before.

It wasn't intended to be an exhaustive list. Even all of those I added still do not make up an exhaustive list.

Say what? I'd like you to list all 155 greater gods of Greyhawk please. Or heck, 155 gods of any type.

Considering you pulled that number out of your rear, it does seem very unlikely. Even if we assume that every god on the 5e list is a greater god(and they aren't), that would still only be 25 million, and it would promote Iuz from demigod to greater god.

Your 155 million population would give Boccob his 1 million+ wizards/sorcerers/sages/etc., though. ;)

It may be worth noting that, including hero-deities and quasi-deities, there are 125 human gods in Greyhawk. As well as an additional 174 nonhuman gods that are always included in every online list of Greyhawk gods.

It may also be worth noting that people are more than capable of worshiping more than one god at a time. Even more than one greater god. ;)

I had no idea there were that many. I looked at two lists and counted 98 on one and 120ish on another. It also makes me wonder if many of those are duplicates or not. One things D&D has done in the past is something like, "The goddess Fifi is the patron of chihuahas in country X. She is also knows as Foofoo the goddess of dogs in country Y, and the goddess Fafa, patron of canines in country Z. Sometimes the portfolios change to an even greater degree.

That could be. I didn't really go through them that carefully. In any case, there's a lot of Greyhawk gods.

It is the only listings of his worshipers though. Sages, scholars, wizards and archmages. That's all it lists anywhere I look. And, amusingly, sages and scholars and philosophers and other terms that mean the same thing are also worshipping Rao (Greater), Lendor (Intermediate), Delleb (Lesser), Lirr (Lesser), Lydia (lesser) so we've got a massive split amongst these scholars.

Also, interestingly when I found Lendor, I also found this "Lendor's tiny amount of remaining worshippers are sages, old men, and others distant from everyday concerns. "

I did not "pull that number out of my rear" and you clearly aren't thinking things through if you are thinking 25 is in anyway accurate, because you are missing some blatantly obvious facts.

But, before I have the list (don't worry everyone, it will be spoilered for obvious reasons) I do want to remind you of what I said, because you are going to immediately turn around and try and "well, actually" me. I said "rounding to a million per god". Remember, in 3.5 what it states that Greater Gods (ranks 16-20) "Called greater deities, these entities may have millions of mortal worshipers, and they command respect even among other deities."

Millions. Plural. So the most powerful greaters might have 10 million or more worshipers. So, I was doing a Fermi Estimation, picking a number that was likely fairly close to an average, to get a rough sense.

Now, the list of every single greyhawk setting deity by 3.5, when this ranking system was implemented:

Actually, I'll admit, I'm using a different list this time.

I think putting a nail in the coffin that people ever followed this rule at DnD headquarters
