The Greyhawk deities were never really developed until the last few
years. TSR/Wotc/Gygax have over the years done a miserable jobs of
laying the history and culture of Greyhawk. That's why I could never
get into it. It's a shame - some of the cultural groups have a lot more
"character" than most of the FR stuff, which I generally prefer. I
never really noticed until I started playing in Greyhawk campaign, after
which I started digging for some background. Perhaps when I'm home,
I'll be able to write a little more with my papers in front of me.
