Message: <blockquote data-quote="Col_Pladoh" data-source="post: 28299" data-attributes="member: 796">St. Cuthbert appeared before the whole pantheon for Oerth was much developed. I created him as much for the humor of his followers as for any other reason. As the cosmology developed, I would place St.Cuthbert as a disciple of PElor who became most stern and set in the "way of truth."As for the nagrams page, there are a fair number of errors on it.For example "Vecna" is a cration of Brian Blume's, and as far as I know he made that name up without consideration for Mr. Vance.Another gaff is "The Egg of Coot." Dave Arneson told me it was after one Gregg Scott, a chap in the Twin Cities area who mamufactured and sold micro armor, who asserted that military miniatures were "manley," and disparaged fantasy gaming.I was surprised at the connection of Nosra, the chief of the hill giants with the name Arneson, as that was not my intent. I pictured the giant with a large and red nose, thus the "nos" and the "ra"--Nosre ddn't cut it.Geoff is actually for a nephew of mine, Jeff Davis.Sometime when I have a f couple of hours to spare, I'll go through the whole list and try to correct what other errors I note.In regards the UP ON A SPAPBOX column, glad that the current series of accounts is being enjoyed <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I have a few more to go yet--a half dozen or so not counting those already turned in, so likely most if not all of 2002 will be covered.Wish I had time for recounting old tales here, but there's just not enough hours in the day...Cheerio,Gary</blockquote>
