The elves aren't in anywhere near the ridiculously unexpected predicament as the elves are. I don't personally understand the actions of the elves, the reasoning of the elves, or what possible logic the elves could be using to justify mailing their kids to other places - but it seems to me that it's something to do with the elves wanting to do it to themselves I suppose rather than a sudden unexpected action of the universe. Therefore, in the subconscious deity-bits of Zagyg I don't think he'd feel any hard tug of demand on his divinity for something that the elves are apparently doing with their own free will. Maybe if they keep acting like they've got something disturbed going on in their racial personalities that falls into the eccentric aspect of the deity, but for now the Zagyg-endorsment test results aren't in on if they're doing something unexpected or if it's just incredibly unwise.If Elves decide to worship Zagyg though, or the Alci, or Murlynd, then I don't suppose they'll find much resistance. If they choose to devote themselves to a non-elven, non-solicited god en masse then Zagyg will probably be compelled to fill in the spaces and try to attend to them because there's nothing BUT eccentricity and the unexpected involved with an unprovoked, unasked for radical change in whom your entire race worships. I mean, if Iuz's followers all suddenly up and started praying to Murlynd then Zagyg would be there helping give spells, because that would be sort of "what the hell" too. Does that make sense?So, if the elves want to convert to Zagyg that's fine. During the Greyhawk Wars lots of people payed homage to Zagyg temporarily too, because frankly he's the correct god to worship in uncertain times - if you've got the right mindset. Who better to watch over you than the god who expects the unexpected? Barring troops in bunkers, because those would probably be better. And mages, mages defending your home would be better too. But if you didn't have anything else going for you, and you watered the plants in the front yard naked occasionally, then Zagyg would be the right god for the job. Is Ellistrae using the portion of Zagyg to manage the drow any? That's what he's loaning it to her for, because the sooner the drow calm down the sooner that Zagyg can go back to...whatever Zagyg does.</blockquote>
