[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 2965746, member: 10784"] I don't think there is information on the dead gods that I can recall... though, maybe somebody from Kenzerco can fill folks in on that. But, I think something as important as that is left up to the DM - partially why they also do not give any sort of stats to Emperor Kabori, the most powerful person politically in the Kalamar setting. Back in 2E days, we had the old boxed set of Kalamar where the climax of the campaign was a showdown with the evil Emperor Kabori... who, it was revealed in that fateful last session, was really a Pit Fiend. However, I have heard others from the kenzer boards have all sorts of ideas of what Kabori really is: just somebody with a lot of levels of Aristocrat; an evil wizard or sorceror type; a good man who is being manipulated by his right hand man (elf) Shifan; a megalomaniacal emperor who wants to impose a "Kalamaran Peace" on the world; etc, etc. That is one of the things I like about Kalamar is that it leaves arguably the most important person (outside of the PCs, of course!) in the setting undetailed and up to the DM. There are a few other NPCs that are also not detailed (the evil high Theocrat of Pel Brolenon as another, I believe. Pel Brolenon is a theocracy whose economy is centered on the slave trade! Way back after the 2E campaign I mentioned above concluded, our DM had planned for us to continue into Pel Brolenon to take on the Theocrat, who he had sketched out as a powerful drow priestess, if I recall) [/QUOTE]
