Which Empyreal Lord(s) would you think someone would have the most success trying to pitch to a particular usually non-Good race? Assuming off the bat this evangelizing mystery cultist has the Charisma and the character levels to get them to actually listen and consider it.

Immonhiel, CG empyreal lord of herbs, medicine and toads would be one option for appealing to boggards, in my opinion.

Jalaijatali, CG empyreal lord of natural music, rapids and waterfalls apparently already has worshipers who are Good-aligned lizardfolk.

Olheon, LG goddess of deservedness, nobility and rulership might appeal to proud kobold chiefs, though you'd probably need to alter your art of her to make her look more draconic for them to take her seriously.

Any other ideas?


Maybe it's just because they've both got similar bird heads and their names sound a little bit similar, but I feel like the NG empyreal lord of aging, life and self-actualization and the CE demon lord of envy, lies and murder just beg to have some kind of backstory connecting them. Any ideas?


Are there any canon empyreal lords who were a different kind of outsider than the 4A's (Angel, Archon, Agathion, Azata)? Like, a peri or a couatl or something? Or would one of those that ascended to the power level of an empyreal lord be called something else?


I really like that there's at least one race down in the Darklands that aren't either competing with each other to see how evil they can be or too busy just trying to survive to care about good or evil. And I really like that there's an entire race that explicitly worships the Empyreal Lords, who I feel suffer for being a late addition by not getting much play in the setting. Most munavri are CG and thus worship the azata side of the spectrum, but which ones are specifically worshiped by the munavri? Quite a few of the choices kind of get invalidated by the fact that the munavri live underground.

Ashava and the Black Butterfly, for instance, are out because they represent the moon and the space between stars, neither of which any living munavri has likely ever seen.

Though if nothing else, I'm hoping Benorus is their biggest patron; the poor guy needs it, what with the munavri being the only major faction in the Darklands that's good-aligned as far as we know. Without them, he'd have to settle for whatever few mongrelmen, svirfneblin and dark folk go beyond their people's normal (Chaotic for the dark folk) Neutral alignments.

Huh. Now I kind of want a caligni cleric of Benorus who hopes his deity (who is, after all, a god of hidden wonders lost in the depths of the earth) can guide him to a cure for the degeneracy of his people at the hands of the owb. Eh, I'll save that idea for later.
