#1 rian_king Feb 27, 2009 11:34:57	I have read the FR campaign guide a few times and can't seem to find if Orcus exist or what he has been up. Can anyone help me with someone info. IF its a link or anything. I want to involve him in my FR campaign
#2 salla Feb 27, 2009 11:43:38	If you're running the game, and you want him in, he's in. Simple as that.
#3 rian_king Feb 27, 2009 11:46:30	yes but I would like to stay with the story line. I have no problem changing my game a little. I would like to think he is FR somewhere.
#4 salla Feb 27, 2009 12:45:19	Not sure why I felt compelled to look, since I subscribe to the 'screw canon' philosophy, but according to this page from an FR Wiki, he's there. http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Orcus
#5 rinonalyrna_fathomlin Feb 27, 2009 12:57:27	The answer is yes, Orcus and the other prominent demon lords have a history of activity on Faerun.
#6 suin_bahhar_02 Feb 27, 2009 12:57:59	And he has been slayed twice on fearuns grounds. Orcus and his necromantic cults has (or has had) some interesting opposition with the drow goddes of undead, Kiriansalee. His wand had been stolen from him as well, not sure which adventuring company did that. King Azoun's gang, nay?
#7 rian_king Feb 27, 2009 14:02:33	Thank you very much everyone and that gives me some more details to give my players
#8 lord_karsus Feb 27, 2009 16:01:15	-Yes, Orcus does exist. He has a long and storied history that takes place mostly in Vaasa and Damara. Information on him can be found primarily in the Kiaransalee entry of Demihuman Deities, because the two were chief rivals, with Kiaransalee having worshipers in a Galena Mountains, The Mines of Bloodstone, and The Throne of Bloodstone.
#9 Shemeska_the_Marauder Feb 28, 2009 1:31:23	The rivalry between Orcus and Kiaransalee is further explored and greatly expanded upon in depth in the events of the module, "Dead Gods".
#10 rian_king Mar 01, 2009 9:48:11	ok once again ty everyone. I like to try to make it feel like the FR is coming to life
#11 lord_karsus Mar 01, 2009 11:13:53	ok once again ty everyone. I like to try to make it feel like the FR is coming to life -Very easy to do.
#12 judge_dookie Mar 01, 2009 12:16:08	-Very easy to do.
#13 markustay63 Mar 01, 2009 12:46:18	-Very easy to do. I'd preface that with 'was', but whatever... ;)
#14 Zireael Mar 02, 2009 9:55:35	Well, the nethyarch of Narfell were Orcus's half-fiendish sons, so he has to exist in FR...
#15 markustay63 Mar 03, 2009 13:18:44	Ya' know... fiends get a lot of 'tail'.

His wand had been stolen from him as well, not sure which adventuring company did that. King Azoun's gang, nay? Don't know about Azoun, but I know Gareth Dragonsbane and co. did. I think Kane might have done the actual wand snatching though. Kane's ing awesome and Gareth steals all of his credit.
#17 Shemeska_the_Marauder Mar 05, 2009 23:11:23	I'd say it's up for debate if Gareth and company actually managed to snatch the actual wand, because the wind was perfectly fine when Kiaransalee hid it and Orcus/Tenebrous went hunting for it. For purposes of meshing the two stories, I'd keep the Gareth and company wand simply that of an avatar. I'd intended to write a minor tie in to the Gareth story with the wand in Dragon magazine, but between edits and word limits it didn't happen so we're left with a bit of discontinuity.

It turned out to be an avatar.
