[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8413790, member: 2209"] In 2e they are both distinctive and the same entity. In [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/16895/DMGR4-Monster-Mythology-2e?affiliate_id=17596']Monster Mythology[/URL] Page 60: "Readers of FOE, The Drow of the Underdark, will find a specific form for this god in the Forgotten Realms, that of Ghaunadaur. [B]The version presented there is one which fuses the identity of the Elder Elemental God with that of an entity which appears to be its servant in some manner, Juiblex. In this book, the Elder Elemental God and Juiblex are separated and statistics for both are provided.[/B] In most worlds, their followings have a very distinctive difference. Juiblex appears to be an entity related to the most powerful of the tanar'ri (Monstrous Compendium: Outer Planes) and he has a specific group of worshippers: certain aboleths, who can become priests of significant standing. A handful of deranged human cultists may also revere this bizarre entity in some worlds. The Elder Elemental God has few no organized followers of any sort, because it is almost impossible for most beings to work out how to worship it. A handful of drow, and humans of exceptional wickedness, conduct rites directed towards raising magical energies from this being, and a tiny minority have succeeded. But, fortunately, this remains the achievement of a tiny handful of fanatics." [/QUOTE]
