  185. normal'>Preface: </b>This article was originally compiled by Erik Mona, and
  186. posted on the <span class=SpellE>WOTC</span> <span class=SpellE>msg</span>
  187. boards, because of it is an excellent reference. I have concluded to add it as
  188. a reference download. <o:p></o:p></p>
  189. 
  190. <p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
  191. 
  192. <p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>Here are the Hierarchs of the
  193. Horned Society that I know about. I've possibly forgotten a few of them. From
  194. the original &quot;Guide to the World of Greyhawk,&quot; we know that the
  195. leadership consisted of an 18th-level high priest, a magic-user above 12th
  196. level, several powerful clerics, a master thief of 13th level, and a trio of
  197. fighter Lords (which in the language of 1st edition probably meant 9th-level
  198. fighters). We also know that there were 13 Hierarchs c. 576 CY, and that the
  199. &quot;religion of the society&quot; is deviltry, which would probably make most
  200. of them lawful evil in alignment.<o:p></o:p></p>
  201. 
  202. <p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><span class=SpellE>Gygax's</span>
  203. novel &quot;Artifact of Evil&quot; probably contains the largest amount of
  204. information about the Society, and features a handful of scenes relevant to the
  205. current discussion. Here's an interesting quote from the book that sheds a
  206. little light on the organization:<o:p></o:p></p>
  207. 
  208. <p class=MsoNormal>&quot;Thirteen stone chairs stand above the many lesser
  209. seats in the Hall of Dread of <span class=SpellE>Molag</span>. Five to either
  210. hand are smaller and lower than the three in the center. Thirteen thrones for
  211. the thirteen Hierarchs, the Dread and Awful Presences who rule the Horned
  212. Society. Only three of the chairs were empty. The trio of the tallest thrones
  213. remained vacant as the Hierarchs took their places--five to the right, five to
  214. the left. Officials and military officers filed in to stand below the
  215. thrones.&quot;<o:p></o:p></p>
  216. 
  217. <p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>There's more. A good deal more. I
  218. suggest anyone interested check out pages 232-234 of that novel. The most
  219. interesting part of the scene involves the three missing Hierarchs, who
  220. apparently represented <span class=SpellE>Tarterus</span>, <span class=SpellE>Gehenna</span>,
  221. and Hades. They also seem to acknowledge <span class=SpellE>Nerull</span> as
  222. their supreme master, so this is probably where <span class=SpellE>Sargent</span>
  223. got the idea to make them <span class=SpellE>Nerull</span> worshippers in
  224. &quot;From the Ashes.&quot;<o:p></o:p></p>
  225. 
  226. <p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.25in'>Assuming that the Hierarchs we
  227. found out about in 581-585-era products were part of that original 13, I think
  228. we can plug a few holes.<o:p></o:p></p>
