A good rule of thumb: If you can't quite recall whether a god is from Dark Sun or another setting, it's not from Dark Sun. Dark Sun doesn't have gods.

Sure it does.

Their names are Tim Brown and Troy Denning. :D

Ari,

:lol: Good one.

Staffan,

Mm good point but some times I think (no offense Kaeyoss, so PLEASE don't take offense), he doesn't think things through when posting. (I do the same thing so don't feel bad.)

In this case, I think that maybe he really doesn't know/care enough about Dark Sun to know/remember they don't have gods there.
 


I think of it as Lloth, because that's how I first encountered it -- but Lolth is just so much easier to say, so that's what I stick with! ;)

I don't actually mind fantasy settings drawing on real-world myth, but I do wish they'd not change things in the process. ;)
Isn't "drawing on real-world myth... [and] chang[ing] things in the process" sorta what fantasy literature (and, for that matter, much real-world myth) is all about?

And yes, Faraer has it down. "Lloth" is a formalization of a misprint that isn't even current any more (even in Menzo), so I don't much see how it's a canon alternative (though some folks may like it in their individual campaigns; not me, though!).
