This is probably really old, but I was getting information on Mielikki for my campaign, and noticed the name "Ehlonna" in there... :D

It probably wasn't a joke. It was probably a misprint.

Dan, the FR deity name closest to Ehlonna is Elistraee, this would have been one of the largest misprints ever.

Ummm.....

Page 42 of faiths and Pantheons is dedicated to Loth?!?

I believe the reference to Ehlonna is on page 49. Under the "Other Divine Powers" heading.

That has got to be a cut and past misprint. Those gods are too similar for it to be a coincedence. Someone didn't want to make the deity from the ground up and so they just copied her from another book, and tweeked a few things. Looks like they missed something.

*shakes head*

Yeah, I meant 49

That was what I thought too. I wonder if any of these exist in other books as well, errors of this size :D

Magic of Faerūn p. 66 also mistakenly refers to Ehlonna when talking about Mielikki, though that was corrected in a recent errata.

Ironically, the errata itself refers to wrong page numbers...

-Ehlonna is the Grayhawk equivalent of Mielikki. Someone probably wasn't paying attention, and accidentally put in Ehlonna in place of Mielikki is what I think Dan is the point Dan is trying to get across.

Besides, Eldath would be a closer approximate both in name and character than Eilistraee. ;)
