[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9110337, member: 8461"] Google is your friend, chum. From page 33 of [I]Vortex of Madness[/I]: "The Titans should be considered intermediate powers." Just in case you're not aware, "powers" was a synonym used for "gods" in a lot of AD&D. Note the listing for Moander's presentation on page 120 of [I]Faiths & Avatars[/I]: "Moander could manifest as the intangible image of a rotting hulk that resembled a giant, floating, disembodied male human head..." So he was clearly male-presenting. That's iffy; D&D has traditionally been [I]very[/I] flexible as to whether or not demon lords and slaad lords are gods or not (e.g. see the note on page 90 of the AD&D 1E [I]Deities & Demigods[/I]). [IMG alt="Animated GIF"]https://media3.giphy.com/media/u31fedwl4J7G0/200.gif[/IMG] Ah, so now it's "high profile" male deities of evil? You carry those goalposts! (And we all know that Vecna [URL='https://www.dicebreaker.com/categories/roleplaying-game/news/vecna-returns-to-dnd-2024-future-of-storytelling']isn't high-profile[/URL]. No sir, [URL='https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/tv-shows/vecna-stranger-things-explained/']not at all[/URL].) That's understandable, given how little lore you seem to know. Right, so in other words, you complained that there were none, and when you were shown to be laughably wrong, you hastily backtracked and made it about recognizability rather than whether or not there were any.
