[QUOTE="Endur, post: 2672969, member: 3346"] My understanding of Greyhawk Gods and Demigods. Some Gods are banned and worship is forbidden in the area around Hommlet. Iuz, Vecna, Erthynuul, etc. (basically all Chaotic Evil gods and demon lords). Also channeling negative energy and casting evil spells is illegal and banned as witchcraft. Some aren't banned, but nobody openly worships them in the area around Hommlet. Hextor would fall in this category. Although not Chaotic Evil, he is one of the Patron Gods of the Great Kingdom and fiends were rumored to control the Great Kingdom during the Greyhawk wars. He also has the title Herald of Hell. So he would make people very uncomfortable. The most popular Gods around Hommlet are Pelor and St. Cuthbert. With Pelor being the most popular God of the Old Faith (including Beory the Earth Mother, Ehlonnna, Obad Hai, and Nerull as Death). St. Cuthbert is the most popular of the newer Gods in the area. Other Gods that have a small amount of worship would include Tritheron. Although worshipping Hextor is not banned, there are few other worshippers in the area, so there is the question as to why a priestess of Hextor would be here instead of in the Great Kingdom where there are millions of worshippers. The current head of the Church of Hextor rules part of the Old Great Kingdom called the North Kingdom. Most ambitious members of the Church of Hextor would be there. St. Cuthbert has an order of Inquisitors known as the Order of the Stars. This is a mostly lawful neutral order of clerics (St. Cuthbert himself is Lawful Good in Greyhawk). The Inquisitors are a sulphur and brimstone group of clerics who happily burn and destroy evildoers. Their primary goal is to instill doctrinal purity in the faith and prevent backsliding into evil ways. So inflicting vengence on the orcs of the Pomarj, the scarlet brotherhood, and any other evildoers they can find is their primary occupation. Hommlet is currently experiencing a visit from the Inquisition. St. Cuthbert has these domains: Destruction, Law, Strength, Good, Protection. Trithereon is a Chaotic Good god of Individuality, Liberty, Retribution, and Self-Defense. His symbol is the rune of pursuit, representing his relentlessness in hunting down oppressors and tyrants. He has three magical weapons (sword, shortspear, and scepter) and three animals (hound, falcon, and sea lizard). Trithereon's clerics are rugged individualists, never afraid to question authority. Domains: Chaos, Good, Protection, Strength. Joramy is a Neutral (NG) lesser goddess of Fire, Volcanoes, Wrath, Anger, and Quarrels. The Goddess of arguments. Domains: Destruction, Fire, War.
