D&D 5E Info on Beltar from Greyhawk

Beltar. A Suel goddess from the Greyhawk setting.


Wikipedia is the extent of my knowledge of this goddess and her followers. From this entry, I have created an adventure hook in my last session. I am ashamed to say I know little about Greyhawk except from the Gord the Rogue books I read circa 1987 and Wikipedia. I have three weeks to take a crash course in this religion.


I'm using it as the origin story for the dungeon the PCs are about to enter. New creatures have made the dungeon there home, but trappings of the old religion will be everywhere. Plus these new creatures will be using any relics that may be lying around.


In short, I'm looking for a link or product featuring this goddess. Perhaps you have used this goddess in your own campaign?


Access on a kindle fire would be a major plus. I am driving distance from Gamescape in San Francisco.


Thank you!

I personally know nothing about this goddess, but a search provided some sites which appear to have more info than Wikipedia:

The canonfire site also has a nice bibliography:
