On page 13 of the Savage Tide Player's Guide, location #5 in Shadowshore states it is a Shrine of St. Worgul. Who in the heck is St. Worgul?
I've scoured my LG Deities PDF and can find nothing on a St. Worgul anywhere!

From "Questions about gods' shrines in Sasserine ?" thread:
The shrines to Lirr and Kurell got infested by typos. OR you could just say the're local variant spellings?
St. Worgul is a ficticional creation by the church of Olidammara. She has no friends. Poor Worgul. BUT, there probably should be a shrine to Rudd in the city somewhere, since she fits right in with the city's flavor. It'd fit best in Champion District, or perhaps Azure District.
Although Sasserine has a strong Suloise flavor in religion, it's not the rule; there are plenty of missing gods who don't yet have shrines in town, simply because none of their clerics have bothered setting up shop there yet. Phyton, Ehlonna, Corellon Larethian, Beory, Ulaa, Phaulkon, and Jascar might have shrines in the civilized reaches south of the city, among the plantations, but they are all nature deities in one way or another. Sasserine's a pretty crowded, filthy city, and worshipers of nature gods like these don't look to cities to establish shrines.

That's certainly a start! Thanks! I'll look back in my Dragons to see if there was a Core Beliefs article regarding Olidammara, which I do think there was recently. Thanks again!
There's nothing about St. Worgul anywhere else; what's been written about her in the Savage Tide adventures is what there is.
So basically she was just an ugly merchant who did well and some crazy half-orc (Jalpe Jinn) decided to venerate her? I am assuming St. Worgul has no deity type powers at all. So why such a big shrine? Was it in her will or something?
I have not found a reference from St. Worgul to Olidammara.

As stated in the Sasserine guide in #139, there never was a St. Worgul. She is a story concocted by worshippers of Olidamarra in Sasserine so that they can create a shrine as a legitimate front to their own worship of Olidammara, allowing them to meet and worship without being persecuted.

Whoa! I totally missed that entire article in Dungeon #139! Thanks!
see my post under the Forgotten Realms Conversion Notes....
essentially, I decided that St. Worgul was a dwarf elevated to demigod status by whichever dwarven god has trade and commerce in its portfolio; I simply treated the shrine to St. Worgul as a shrine to that dwarven deity;
