races of stone states that vergadain was one of moradains 8 children...demihuman deities states that before he was part of the mordinsamman he was the mulhorandi hod bes, the short father...which is true?

Races of Stone is not Realmslore, also Races of Stone and the other books in the Races series contradict alot of the old lore regarding the demihuman gods.
If you notice, there are several new gods, that have never been heard of before featured in those books, and several gods that have been around for years are gone. |

Well met
Worry not, iamunknown. There are a vast amount of books of lore, it is easy to mistake one for the other, especially on a subject such as this. I'm sure more scribes will be along soon to aid thee.  |

| If there is a conflict, 95% of the time the newer source is used over the older source. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

| through re-study and contemplation i believe i have discovered my flaw...demihuman dieties does not specifically state that he was bes before he was vergadain...so it is my oppinion that he is one of the 8 children, and soon after, as he is the trickster, decided to become bes for the mulhorandi...and since his cult sank he has just become vergadain full-time. (i am shamed to say i have not read the 3e faiths and pantheons, which would probobly give me more information) |

| You're not missing much. |
Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well. |

| He was never and is not currently Bes. Bes is an Egyptian/Muhorandi god that looked like a dwarf. Vergadain took on Bes' name as an alias in Mulhorand after Bes died during the Orcgate Wars or some other period. |
