Deities of the World of Greyhawk
The people of Oerth worship many gods. Only deities of
the central Flanaess are detailed here, and of those, only
the lesser gods (in most cases) have been detailed. In
general, the greater gods are far to removed from the world
to have much to do with humanity, and while they are
worshiped, few people hold them as patrons.
These deities have been known to intercede directly in
the affairs of men, but only if these affairs have a direct
and crucial bearing upon the concerns of the deity. Even so,
the annals of historians list only a few such instances in
the history of the Flanaess.
Deities have Weightily affairs to attend to, and in
general they can not be bothered with the trivial needs of a
party of lowly mortals. However, under certain circum-
stances, a demigod and a godling might well become embroiled
in human affairs -- as your further reading will discover.
Because of plots of Iuz and various demons and evil elemen-
tals, ST. Cuthbert has become actively aware of events (and
has indirect assistance from Beory, who resists elemental
destruction). The enmity between Iuz and St. Cuthbert may
yet result in direct confrontation.
A list of the greater, lesser and active demigod deities
of Flanaess are given hereafter.
"ORG" is the racial origin of the god, the following is
a list of abbreviations and there meanings.
C = common in most areas
O = Oeridian
S = Suloise
F = Flan
B = Baklunish
U = unknown or indeterminate origin
