[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8414048, member: 6801228"] "Belief" isn't the same as "devoted and true worship" though. They certainly believed Iuz was incredibly powerful, because he proved that fact to them by conquering multiple kingdoms and establishing his empire. A) He did have a full country worshiping him, that's the point. B) A "relative few" or even "a whole country" is still less than "an entire race of people". There are certainly more than "relatively few" gnolls after all. So, by this logic, Yeenoghu and Demogorgon would also be lesser gods, maybe even greater gods. Hey, you know what you should do? You should actually read that entry. Maybe even click on the little button that says "3e" that shows you that Uthgar was a lesser deity in 3e. Because, in 4e, many beings were made into Exarchs who had been full gods. Including, but not limited to Berronar Truesilver Clangeddin Silverbeard Luthic Maglubiyet Sekolah Vaprak Yurtrus Erevan Ilesere Bahgtru So, I'm going to say be careful saying that any being who was made an exarch in 4e was never actually a god, because many of those are fairly major gods in other contexts.
