| Kelemvor--there's a monument to him in BG2. |

| Where is Vecna mentioned? I can't remember seeing his name in the BG games. Also is Demogorgon a deity? I'm pretty sure Velsharoon is mentioned in ether the BG games or at least in the NWN games. Red Knight in IWD II. |

The PC can get items of Vecna (like the robe of Venca) in BG2. But back then, he wasn't a deity.

Demogorgon is a lesser power of the evil ixitxachitl rays in second edition. An avatar of his is trapped in watcher's keep by Helm, preventing him from manifesting additional avatars on the Prime Material Plane.
And yes, Vecna may not be a god at the time of the game, so that would scratch him off the list.
Another one to add Cyrrollalee. There may also be a reference or two to Dragonlance deities, but I can't recall which one. |
