Re: Demihuman Pantheons

Well, I use the pantheons, because I happen to like them, especially the
elven/drow.

In cases where a particular character should worship someone other, I just
make them up appropriately, like a krynnish elf not worshipping Larethian
but instead Eli (the elven name for paladine, one of several possibles)
