Llerg is depicted as a powerful, bearded, shaggy-haired man dressed in furs and a fighting girdle, or as a huge bear, snake, or alligator. These three animals are sacred to him.

Relationships

Llerg is an ally of Vatun, has a friendly rivalry with Kord, and is an enemy of Telchur. Both Hextor and Heironeous bare enmity towards Llerg. As a general rule, Llerg is indifferent to most other gods, viewing them as too civilized.

Worshipers

Clergy

Llerg is served by clerics and druids, who ofter wear bear, alligator or snake skins for religous ceremonies. He is the second most worshipped deity in the barbarian states after Kord.

His clergy is not attacked by animals summoned or otherwise unless attacked first, and the preservation of predatory animals is the primary concern for druids in his service.[1]
