Message: <blockquote data-quote="NLP" data-source="post: 304136" data-attributes="member: 520">Because the original question was:"Can anyone tell me if it has ever been said who their parent's are? I've always thought it might be St. Cuthbert (for the super lawful-ness) and then either yondalla/ehlonna for heironeous, and Lolth/Wee Jas for Hextor."And my answer was:"In Tal Meta's excellent write-up of the Greyhawk Gods, he has Erythnul being the boy's parents; and that seems to make sense to me. I believer there is a link to Tal's material on the Canonfire website, if you cannot find it there then do a search for "Tal Meta" on Google. It will turn up."No mention of canon was made, anywhere. The asker wanted to know if there was any information about the brothers. I was relaying that there was some interesting information at the above mentioned site.You, and the cronies who followed, are the only ones screaming about how it is not canon. I have not said it was canon. I said it was interesting. Much of Greyhawk's material, including such things as Ivid the Undying, is not "official" canon. Official canon changes depending on the whim of whomever is in charge at WotC this week. Today, Chainmail is canon, but that does not mean that three years from now when WotC produces a sucessful miniatures game that the canon will not be changed; or that the folks in Living Greyhawk will not change the material because of an adventure they have decided to write. Spend an hour on Greytalk, or go through the archives. You will find hundreds of posts from Gary Gygax, Erik Mona, Roger Moore, Gary Holian, Sean Reynolds, Lisa Stevens, and a slew of other "professionals" who have given their opinions on different aspects of Greyhawk. Better yet, attend a couple of the chats and see what the real "professionals" have to say. That was what this discussion was about. You are the one who wants to know about published canon. The original poster just wanted information; which is what I was giving him.There are hundreds of Gigs of Greyhawk material on the web, much of it written by professionals. Erik Mona's "Reflections in Silica: Sulm and Itar" is not canon, though it probably one of the best pieces of material you will ever find on those ancient kingdoms. You need to realize that the only Greyhawk material being produced is done by the Triads through LGH, but that does not mean that the professionals have stopped writing it, it just means that they write it as fanfiction. Most of the material in EGG's novels is not canon, but I know few Hawkers who would not consider it to be. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
