[QUOTE="radferth, post: 308634, member: 5791"] If one looks at any earthly pantheon, the Greek for instance, you will notice that a family tree will include many being not necesarrily worshipped as gods. It is therefore quite likely that any given deity has relatives not mentioned in any official material. If one follows what has been written by TSR/WOTC, then Hextor and Heironeous started out as half-brothers with no other relations mentioned. I know nothing about the new chainmail, but WOTC seems to have decided to name Alia as their mother, which works as well as any. Some additional H&H trivia. Rob Kuntz mentioned somewhere on the Greytalk list that Hextor and Heironeous were both part of the nine "demigods" imprisoned in Castle Greyhawk in EGG's original Greyhawk campaign. In the Greyhawk campaign I run, Heironeous and Hextor are actually the same being, although no mortal knows this. They two priesthoods resulted from factionalization of the Oeridian was cult in ancient times now forgotten. Definitely not cannon, but I like how it explains the intense fratricide between the two cults. [/QUOTE]
