[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 1679239, member: 8461"] According to [I]Monstrous Mythologies[/I], its the Elder Elemental God that has Tharizdun as an aspect (something they reversed in 3E); IIRC, it says this at the back of the book, talking about non-human gods specific to campaigns. I've seen nothing to indicate that the Dark God is anything like Tharizdun; [I]On Hallowed Ground[/i]'s god listing at the end of the book seems to make it pretty clear that they're wholely separate entities. I haven't heard the name "Vilp-akf'cho" at all before, that I recall. That said, the entry for the Elder Elemental God matches what you said for Tharizdun; that its a powerful force being held in check. It's the Dark God that's described as being an entity possibly dying; though since it's concern is with the break-down of all things, that might mean its doing fine. Not the only case for that on Toril; where one god uses the name of a similar one that isn't worshipped there. Ghaunadaur also uses the alias of Juiblex and (IIRC) the Elder Elemental God, but it's a distinct and unrelated deity altogether. Just curious, where did you read this? [/QUOTE]
