Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 1646373" data-attributes="member: 8461">Don't worry Nightfall, Kuje's answer was incomplete.The article on the nether hounds of Kiaransalee mention that, although she created them, they can sometimes be found in the service of other evil gods. This is because she lets them have the secrets of their creation, and usually gives it to, you guessed it, gods who ally with her against Orcus. Velsharoon is mentioned as one such deity. So our boy Orcus does get an oblique mention.The only thing that really bothered me about the article is that the author, Thomas M. Costa, listed Kiaransalee's info in a sidebar, and it was apparently just a cut-and-paste from Faiths & Pantheons, which had Kiaransalee as a demigoddess. This is incorrect; during the course of the Silence of Lolth, Kiaransalee has since become a lesser goddess, as detailed in the City of the Spider Queen <a href="http://wizards.com/dnd/files/Spider_Queen_enhance.zip" target="_blank">web enhancement</a>. The only possible rationale I can think of is that [spoiler]Kiaransalee might have lost some worshippers, and this power, since Lolth has just begun to grant spells again, as of the end of Extinction, book V of the War of the Spider Queen series. Even then though, that'd be an almost-immediate drop in divine status[/spoiler] so that explanation seems unlikely.</blockquote>
