Erlyid God (Death, destruction, evil)
Gonvan is not strictly speaking a god of the Erlyid pantheon, but a demon arrayed against it. In the mythology of the Erlyid, if a harvest fails, Gonvan has attacked Morganna; if a war is lost, he has tricked Diruc, and so on. Pelor is his sworn enemy. There are no public temples or followers of Gonvan, but a few desperate or corrupted individuals do worship and call on him. His domains are Chaos, Death, Evil and Destruction.
Since the coming of the Orcs, Gonvan has begun to blur together in the popular mind with Gruumsh, chief god of the Orcs. The more conservative in the Empire - and especially the Churches of Pelor and Diruc - have actively encouraged this, seeing it as a way of casting the orc people into disfavour and associating them with the mythological symbol of darkness, bad luck and evil.
