[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 3977110, member: 27051"] Yeah, in 1e Gruumsh had one cyclopean eye and there is the reference that Corellon unsuccesfully tried to shoot it out. My copy of [I]Monster Mythology[/I] (loved that book, btw!) is in a box, so I can't check it, but it seems quite possible that the story was retconned or retold so that Gruumsh once had two eyes and lost one to The Big Fairy. It would be good if someone could check that book for a reference. So the original quote is indeed mistaken in that it attributes the story to the 1e era, but not mistaken in that it was a widespread tale used in many campaigns. The story didn't come into my 1e games very much but I do recall that it featured in my own 2e games. However, this was only at the end of the campaign when the world was going to hell and the gods were openly fighting: Corellon put out Gruumsh' other eye, heh. 3e was already released by then, however, so I'm not sure how useful this perspective is...
