Thread Title : Quasi-deities?

Who were the quasi-deities described in the old Greyhawk boxed set? I remember Kelanen (though not his swords) and possibly Heward, but the rest I've forgotten. Murlynd? Was he one of them?

Murlynd was there, and so was Keoghtom (sp?).  I think that was it.

Which old Greyhawk boxed set?

If it helps: in Dragon #71 Gygax said that Heward, Keoghtom, and Murlynd are quasi-deities, and that there are more including Daern, Johydee, Nolzur, Quaal, and Tuerny.  He also said that Kelanen may or may not be a true deity, and referred to him as a hero-deity.

The brown box for the campaign setting-- one book had a picture of charging knights, the other had a picture of the hex map. The quasi-deities were in one of them towards the back.

Kelanan, Prince of Swords... ahh the memories. I had a player from another DM's campaign that wanted to port his character over to my game. I had him face off against Kelenan for admittance to the Prime Material. He beat Kelenan down and I let his character inherit the title, "Prince of Swords". Just a silly little memory from middle school...

What were the names of Kelanen's swords? I seem to recall they were both intelligent items-- self-wielding, even.

Swiftdoom and Sureguard.  They both have 17 Intelligence, and Suregard can Dance for three rounds.

At least one of them was +6 as well, yes? Pretty boss for back in the day.

Yeah, they both were.  I'll probaby run afoul of the moderators' misunderstandings of copyright law if I answer too many more questions, though ;)

It's not as nice as books, but if you wanted to pick up a copy, RPGNow has a PDF of the set for only $4.95: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=1430&

Eh, I don't really need the stats: I was just waxing nostalgiac. The Greyhawk campaign box set was one of the first D&D books I lost.
