I think we got a bit of an disagreement here, Reptiller.

While the majority of the Hardhead clerics revere St. Cuthbert from the prime world of Ortho there are still those who do not. While Kelemvor is a nobody in the planar sense of things, it doesn't mean that there are no plane-travelling followers of Kelemvor to be found.

Although, it is worth to note that, being a faithful servant of a power literally "no one" has heard of, is rather strong brand of being a Clueless. Not that there is anything bad in being a Cluess, I think we even had rather avid follower of Morrigan, the Raven Queen, amongst us a while back - as an example.

Erm, but some "Torillian" concepts such as the "The Wall of The Faithless" would be something the planars would think as nothing but barkle, [nonsense, or nonsese such as the faction philosophies for the indeps].

I know my Athar would just fall to the ground laughing, if she were to ever hear of the wall.

Don't remember about the hardheads and St. Cuthbert, but you're probably right...

The rest is spot on... nothing wrong with kelemvor worshippers in the plane, but just a bit 'fish out of water' feeling

The power is from a prime world of Oerth. Checked it from the Factol's Manifesto page 97.

I tend to mix up the prime worlds of Orthos, Ortho, and Oerth.

Ah, yeah since I knew about Orthos, and that harmonium having their own primeworld, but it could have been greyhawk gods they worshipped there, not sure if it says anywhere?

Ortho = The prime world where the Harmonium was founded.

Oerth = Prime world of Greyhawk, St. Cuthbert.

[When followers of St. Cuthbert run into Harmonium they tend to become members of the Harmonium as the views of the deity and the Faction go almost hand in hand. But I would have to say no, I do not think it was mentioned anhywhere what were the deities of Ortho.]

Orthos = Now, I'm not entirely sure where I have picked that one up. Could be from "Ortho's" - do any of you have a clue?
