NEWS, NOTES AND VIEWS
OF THE GREYHAWK CAMPAIGN
By Gary Gygax
The pantheon of deities
in the Flanaess is very broad, and
many humanoids and demi-humans serve deities
which do not
have an aspect that exactly matches the race
in question, be it
dwarven, elven, orcish or whatever. However,
for communities
of demi-humans or humanoids outside human areas
of settlement,
or for large enclaves therein, some racial deities
are
needed. For such, you should feel comfortable
employing the
“Nonhumans’ Deities” section of the DEITIES
& DEMIGODS™
Cyclopedia, but with the following changes:
Maglubiyet’s plane is Gehenna;
Kurtulmak’s plane is Acheron;
Gruumsh’s plane is Gehenna.
Treat flinds as gnolls,
ogrillons as either orcs or ogres, and
norkers as goblins for the purpose of selection
of a deity of this sort.
Shaman maximum levels are: Ogrillons, 3rd level;
Flinds and norkers, 5th level; Xvart, 7th level.
Witch doctor maximum levels are: Norkers, 2nd
level; Xvart, 4th level.
There is only one addition to the list of deities
which I would
recommend. That addition is the xvart deity,
Raxivort.
The
statistics and details of this deity are provided
below.
Dear Editor:
I am happy to see DRAGON acquire its
sixth birthday. I have been reading the magazine
for the last three years. Overall I have
been very pleased with the articles which are
presented.

The section on assassins was very well prepared;
“The Assassins’ Guild” was clear
and
well organized, and “The Assassins’ Run”
was
equally enjoyable. The artwork added immeasurably
to the articles; if I recognize the
style, it was the same artist who did the picture
for Tom Armstrong’s and my “Bandits”
article in #63. (Right, Rog: His name is Steve
Peregrine, and he’s a good one.)
