[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 8424929, member: 42582"] Can Kelanen The Prince of Swords grant spells? As I think [USER=2209]@Voadam[/USER] already noted upthread, the GH Boxed Set Glossography includes him in the chapter dealing with "Personages and Quasi-Deities". Page 33 says "Throughout the world of Greyhawk are quite a number of characters that have risen above the status of heroes, but who are not quite demi-gods. These personages are 'quasi-deities'." There is then a list of them, which includes Kelanen. Then on page 36 we have Kelanen's entry, which says he "is one of the very poewrful individuals who might, or might not, be a true deity. Thus he is known as a 'Hero Deity,' and some who live by the sword pay him homage." And his DDG-style entry says "Worshippers's Alignment: Any" which contrasts with the N/A of the other three detailed quasi-deities (Heward, Murlynd and Kheoghtom). Kelanen does not appear in the deity list in the LLG, but worship of Kelanen is mentioned in the Sea Princes entry (pp 100-102) as one of the religions of that area. The list of quasi-deities on p 33 also includes Daern, who is described as a Hero Deity in the LGG (P 169): "It is rumored that Delleb sponsored Daern, hero-goddess of defenses and fortifications, to her present position." Does Daern have clerics? I don't know. On the whole I think it's all a bit ambiguous. I assume this is deliberate. I don't see that having a cleric of Daern or Kelanen show up would do any harm to anyone's game! [/QUOTE]
