Greyhawk deities and Eberron equivalents?


Savage Tide Adventure Path


Well, the guys at dungeon seem to be bogged down, I understand that, but my party isn't willing to keep waiting for the official Eberron conversion. So I'm going to have to go ahead and convert it myself. I'm stuck on deity conversions, though. Particularly Wee Jas and the Azure Cathedral pantheon. How would you guys translate those deities to Eberron?

Well, Weejas is the Lawful Neutral god of magic and death, so I'd translate that as Aureon, the Lawful Neutral god of magic in Eberron. The only god of death in Eberron is The Keeper, and he doesn't fit at all.

I'd probably translate the Azure Cathedral as the Church of the Silver Flame.

Wee Jas to Aureon makes sense, but Aureon is already taken. I converted Boccob to Aureon. The Silver Flame is taken too. I converted Heironeous to the Silver Flame. Here's my conversions as they stand so far. I've excluded all racial deities.

Boccob - Aureon
Ehlonna - Arawai
Erythnul - The Mockery
Fharlaghn - Kol Korran
Heironeous - The Silver Flame
Hextor - The Fury
Kord - Dol Dorn
Nerull - Blood of Vol
Obadhai - Balinor
Olidammara - The Traveler
Pelor - Dol Arrah
St. Cuthbert - Not sure...
Vecna - The Shadow
Wee Jas - Not sure...
Yondalla - Olladra

I'm open to suggestions and/or criticism.

It looks like there are more Greyhawk deities than Eberron deities so several Greyhawk deities may have to be rolled into one and be considered different aspects of the same god/pantheon. For example you've assigned Heironeous as the Silver Flame, but St. Cuthbert also fits the bill and there is no other Eberron deity that fits, so both Heironeous and St. Cuthbert could be considered the Silver Flame in Eberron. Likewise, Boccob and Weejas might have to be rolled into Aureon.


I've also been wondering about this. Some of them seem obvious - Dol Dorn for Kord, for instance - but others I'm less sure of. For instance, I could see using the Silver Flame in place of St. Cuthbert, and the Gatekeepers as the Whirling Fury - but I could also see using the Silver Flame as the Whirling Fury, if their influence is weak in the region. It rather depends on what, if anything, their role will be further down the line, and who they're going to oppose.

I'm tempted to use the Blood of Vol - or a non-evil offshoot - in place of Wee Jas, but I think Aureon works better. The Blood of Vol might work as the Scarlet Brotherhood, but then so could the Inspired.


I was going to use the Emerald Claw in place of the Brotherhood.

There are MANY more GH deities than Eberron. Remember that the Host and the Six are very much all the aspects of the world. The Nine are the more civilized while the Six are the more angry and barbaric.

I can see the Whirling Fury being the Silver Flame, or perhaps a radiant idol.

AS I am setting Sasserine in Q'barra, the Six will have just as much a presence as the Host. The Flame will probably be a small cult, which is another reason Whirling Fury could be good.

The Brotherhood could also be the Inspired.

I'm actually translating the Whirling Fury into a small cult that worships a little known deity aspect, specifically the Couatl that sacrificed itself to form the Silver Flame.

I'm just turning the Scarlet Brotherhood into one of the many pirate fleets operating in the Principalities.
