Apollo is the god of Plague.
We'd have a difference of opinions on the issue of slaughtering innocent ratlings...

Apollo is the god of Plague (Pestilence), Light, Music, Colonization, Shepherding, Prophecy, Healing, and Archery.
He does have a lot of titles, doesn't he
Funny thing is, I haven't even used half...
I'm not going so much for "holier than thou" as I am "holy and proud."
You're not below him, but if you don't show an interest in his deity (his life), than he sorta considers you a lost cause.
Doesn't mean he won't preach his dogma at any opportunity however

Well he has so many titles because he comes from a much smaller pantheon than the Greyhawk deities of which there are over 70 if the lesser known deities are counted (the ones not in the PHB).
That's a very fine distinction in the first place, but claiming his deity influences every action when there are so many deities who are known to influence certain areas leads more to the first impression rather than the second...especially when he's preaching to the two most religious characters in the party (a ranger and a paladin who both have deities) about an outsider god.
BTW - Orin doesn't mention a light, he just grabs whatever they (he and Shadow) were using when they first went down into the cellar.

Apollo is the only god from the Olympic Pantheon on Greyhawk, true, but he comes from a Pantheon that has an innumerable amount of gods and goddesses.
Everyone only ever hears about Zeus and Hades and maybe Athene, but I assure you, there are a lot more.
I'm just going from our own history here, not D&D's... Apollo really was an important god to the ancient Greeks.
If Orin chooses to keep his actions secret, so be it
