[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 7807861, member: 926"] Oh there are still plenty of Greyhawk villains on there! :) Acererak is a great big classic Greyhawk baddie, as well as Kyuss, Rary, and Vecna. (I'm just glad all that stuff about Robilar was finally cleared up; even though good (bad) ol' Lord Robilar is Lawful Evil he's not really a "villain.") And technically Lolth as well, even though she was essentially co-opted by the 'Realms. But I much prefer her as originally presented, as a Demon Lord rather than a (Greater) Goddess. (AKA Aracne, the name by which she is known to humans... I do like her having more than just 66 Hit Points, though!;)) I like having my Dark Elves worship Demons. But since I still go with the 1E Deities & Demigods concept of Demon Lords being equal to a Lesser God on their home plane it really doesn't make all that much difference to me; she can be both a Demon Lord [I]and[/I] a (Lesser) Goddess. And since Tharizdun has been portrayed as basically kind of being [I]the[/I] Big Bad of the D&D Multiverse (whom all the other deities in the cosmos team up with each other, regardless of Alignment, just to keep imprisoned) I'm not too worried about a lack of Greyhawk representation on the list... Tharizdun just plain outranks all the others. o_O(y)[I][/I] [/QUOTE]
