Re: Re: Clangedinn during the Time of Troubles
Mercule, that's completely incorrect. Some pantheons are present on multiple worlds, instead of just one. While some "human gods" are only present in one sphere, like Greyhawk, many demihuman gods, such as the elven and dwarven pantheons, appear on multiple worlds. It's always, in ever single edition of D&D, held that the same elven and dwarven gods were present in the Realms and Greyhawk. They have worshippers on both worlds (and many others besides) and can appear anywhere in both.
To put it simply, Labelas and Glangedinn belong in FR about as much as Cyric does.

Yeah, I know the official response. I tend to think it's pretty lame that they ported over some GH gods.
Still, the thing that really sticks in my craw is that the non-human deities, which have been in GH since before FR was a WotC product, were pulled from the 3E GH sourcebook. If they'd left them in GH, I don't think I'd care much about FR co-opting them.
That, and I stayed up just late enough to get irritable.

Luddite.
Which is where he was, no doubt. However, his Realmsian, poor-man's-avatar-pale-imitation-smudged-around-the-edges-watered-down-nowhere-as-good-as-the-Great-Gygaxian-hallowed-be-his-name-original, self was in Ruathym being served up as the prime target for Labelas Enoreth's much vaunted pimp slap attack.
Whose Jas?
Entirely. The events of the FR comic have become "canonized" in published Realmslore. Many of the characters of the FR and ADnD comics have made the jump to TSR/WotC FR products as well.

You'd better believe it.

I'm not exactly a Gygax fanboy. Just not overly fond of the Realms in the first place. When stuff gets swiped (and removed) from a setting I do enjoy, I get (justifiably, IMHO) peeved.

Wee Jas is the Greyhawk goddess of death and magic. Imagine Mystara as a goth-chick with a big morbid streak.
