Velias - Herionean or Pelorite?

[Greyson]

Hi, all.

I saw this question posed before in the long Overload thread, but it went unanswered. Please abideme while I bring it up again.

Velias Childramun is noted as a LG cleric with no patron deity listed in Dungeon 124 on page 58 in the Backdrop: Diamond Lake article.

Yet, the same non-player character is noted as both a "Fatherly Cleric of Heironeous" and as a NG cleric of Pelor in Age of Worms Overload on page 19.

Does anyone have an opinion on which patron Velias supplicates? I assume Heironeous, given his presence in the garrison and the bolded text reading "Fatherly Cleric of Heironeous."

Happy gaming.

I think the concensus was that it didn't matter too much, so use whichever works best for you, or compromise and make him a cleric of (Heironeous + Pelor)/2 = Mayaheine :)

He's supposed to be Heironean. In a protean version of the campaign outline there was to be a small shrine of Pelor in Diamond Lake, but I cut it in favor of setting up the main local religious tensions between the Heironeans and the Cuthbertines. A Pelorian influence would have acted as a soothing presence, and Diamond Lake isn't meant to be a soothing place.

Sorry about the goof-up.
