{{greyhawk action}}{{tocright}}

Modern scholars have tried to work their way trough the many divinities of Greyhawk to identify the major powers, to try and identify the gods of the different culture with one another. The argument is that there cannot be two gods with ultimate authority in the same domain; these must either be at war (which there are no indications of) or one and the same. This is a highly controversial argument among [[Cleric_(Action_Greyhawk)|Clerics]] but espoused by [[Wizard_(Action_Greyhawk)|Wizards]].

Synchretism is not really a pantheon, but it functions as one. It is possible to be a [[Cleric (Greyhawk Action)|Cleric]] of synchretism, which makes you more of a philosopher or divine scholar than a servant of the divine - such clerics are sometimes called Astral Magicians. If this is an insult or a honorific depends on the speaker. A perversion of this ideal is the Ur-Priest, who recognizes the divine and steals their power.
