[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7901802, member: 6670153"] Its not unusual for Evil Gods in FR to have none evil worshippers, even clergy, alignment is usually secondary to the Portfolios, like Malar has repectable clergy in Cormyr that hunt animals instead of people and share the food with the poor. There are other examples. This would be true of the Orc Gods as well. I mean the response to Obould the first creating Many Arrows and peace with it's neighbours by Gruumsh was to turn him into an Exarch and a member of the Pantheon. So you can't always rely on a Gods alignment when figuring out what a God will do in any given moment or what kind of clerics it will have. Like Sharess was CG in previous editions, but would tolerate Evil Clerics and Sune had Lawful Good Paladins even though she herself was Chaotic (an except to the rule of Paladins in previous editions where normally only Neutral Good, Lawful Good, and Lawful Neutral had Paladins). Of course good orcs that reject the Orc Pantheon, but are still religious will likely adopt the Pantheon of whatever race they live with. And of course all Druids of every race worship and get their magic from the First Circle in FR, a group of Nature Gods, although they might worship other Gods as well. That includes Orc Druids. Or you can use the God of the Scro Orcs, they are a race of intelligent orcs from Spelljammer, but the Scro have appeared in an FR novel and in the Solar System of FRs. [/QUOTE]
