[QUOTE="Virel, post: 5768645, member: 24633"] For these purposes wiki on Iuz is close to what's occured in my Greyhawk campaign. I always think of Mordor when thinking of Iuz and his lands...but my game world isn't middle earth. [IMG]http://www.deigames.com/wgr5.jpg[/IMG] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iuz]Iuz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] Iuz is the chaotic evil demigod of Deceit, Evil, Oppression, Pain, and Wickedness. Iuz is variously called "The Old One" and "Old Wicked," among other titles. Unlike most Greyhawk deities, Iuz makes his home on Oerth, where he rules a broad swath of the Flanaess known as the Empire of Iuz. His symbol is a grinning human skull, or a human skull with blood-red highlights. Iuz is the cambion child of the demon prince Graz'zt and Iggwilv, the so-called "Witch Queen of Perrenland." He is an ally, and sometimes lover of, Zuggtmoy, Demon Queen of Fungi, who keeps his soul amulet safe in her layer of the Abyss. His half-sister Drelnza, a vampire daughter of Iggwilv, was slain by adventurers. IMC the 1/2 sister hasn't been slain. Iuz is the maternal grandson (by adoption) of Baba Yaga, and through Graz'zt, the half-brother of Athux, Thraxxia, and Arzial. He is also related, through his father, to the demon lords Pale Night, Lupercio, Rhyxali, Vucarik of Chains, and Zivorgian. Iuz is allied with Graz'zt and Pazuzu, who he must deal with to summon demonic minions in any great numbers. He deals carefully with Lolth, but has no formal alliance with her. Thus far, they seek to dominate very different territories. Iuz has many enemies, notably Vecna, Saint Cuthbert, Zagyg, and the Horned Society. He hates Keoghtom, Kelanen, Heward, and Murlynd for aiding in his imprisonment, and hates Bigby, Neb Retnar, Quij, Robilar, Riggby, Tenser for trying to kill him. IMC Iuz has the same enemies plus a few more such as Athena, Odin, Tyche, Thor etc, since I use the Greek & Norse in addition to the Grewhawk deities. Iuz also currently has poor relations with his demon father and magic user human mother. On the plus side, Loki & Ares have fair terms with Iuz.
