Excerpt: This is a list of deities from the Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. Allitur Atroa Azor'alq is the Baklunish hero-deity of Light, Purity, Courage, and Strength. His symbol is an armed man standing atop a stone summit. Azor'alq is a tall, handsome warrior with a dark complexion. He wears fine chain mail and his helm is topped with peacock feathers. His long curved sword, of elven make, is known as Faruk. Azor'alq is a member of the Baklunish pantheon. In the past, he has been a foe of the demon lords Munkir and Nekir. Azor'alq's sanctum can be entered through the highest peak in the Pinnacles of Azor'alq. There he dwells with his ancient paladins, the Thousand Immortals.

Azor'alq cares nothing for redeeming or converting the evil; he offers only destruction for those of evil. Azor'alq's clergy is hereditary among the Paynim, who claim their line stretches unbroken back to the earliest days of the Baklunish Empire. Azor'alq's clerics are often war-leaders, and always fight at the forefront of any battle. Their favored weapon is the scimitar. The few remaining paladins of Azor'alq seek to emulate the Thousand Immortals by destroying creatures of Darkness (fiends and undead). Some make quests to the Pinnacles of Azor'alq, hoping to pass the tests and challenges prepared by their master. Over 3,000 years ago, during the time of the Baklunish Hegira,
