#1 grodog Sep 05, 2007 22:57:12	Has anyone compiled a list of all known quasi-deities, along with their racial origins (the old OC or FC, etc. from the Glassography)? Zavoda's index seems lacking on this, and I can't think of any lists offhand that include the racial info for Q-Ds (perhaps DMPrata's??).
#2 ripvanwormer Sep 06, 2007 8:58:33	Has anyone compiled a list of all known quasi-deities, along with their racial origins (the old OC or FC, etc. from the Glassography)? Okay, I'll define "quasi-deity" as broadly as possible, to include the various hero-deities, saints, and other personages who are essentially quasi-deities in power or have once been called that. Generally I classified everyone of Aerdi origin as Oeridian. Elsewhere, most post-cataclysmic heroes of nonspecific origin are listed as Common. Charmalaine, Nazarn, and Roykyn have mixed origins (Charmalaine was a halfling sponsored by both the Oeridian god Fharlanghn and the halfling god Brandobaris; Nazarn was a half-orc sponsored by the Suel god Kord; Roykyn was a gnome who abandoned Urdlen to be sponsored by the Oeridian god Erythnul) so I listed them as both their specific race and as Common. I figured the Suel (human) side would be more likely to accept Nazarn than the orcish pantheon - the average orc wouldn't be interested in him, since he's a creature of human civilization (gladiators). Azor'alq - Baklunish Cat Lord - Animal Charmalaine - Halfling, Common Daern - Oeridian Daoud - Baklunish Diancastra - Giant Gadhelyn - Elven Gendwar Argrim - Dwarf Heward - Common Iggwilv - Common Johydee - Oeridian Kelanen - Unknown Keoghtom - Common Krovis - Flan Kuroth - Oeridian Kyuss - Flan Murlynd - Common Nazarn - Suel, Common (Half-orc) Nolzur - Common Quaal - Flan Roykyn - Gnome, Common St. Bane - Common St. Benedor - Oeridian St. Ceril - Common St. Eleador - Common St. Kargoth - Oeridian Tsolorandril - Unknown Tuerny - Oeridian Vathris - Flan Wolf Lord - Animal Zinzerena - Drow

Looks like your list features at least one, Nazarn. Do you have sources handy for these: Charmalaine - Halfling, Common Diancastra - Giant Gadhelyn - Elven Gendwar Argrim - Dwarf Nazarn - Suel, Common (Half-orc) Roykyn - Gnome, Common Zinzerena - Drow I rooted around in LGJ#3, the Glassography, etc., but these don't bells offhand. Thanks, too :D :D

Zinzerena is also described in On Hallowed Ground and the recently published Drow of the Underdark hardcover. All of the above, excepting Diancastra, are also described in the Living Greyhawk Deities document: http://www.wizards.com/rpga/downloads/LG_Deities.zip. Diancastra is tied to Oerth by virtue of having once matched wits with Lyzandred. She's described as a "Heroine/demigoddess," which is how Zinzerena was also described before LGJ#14 turned her into a hero-deity. Diancastra might properly be described as a quasi-deity, though, since she has no priests.
