Which Blackmoor deity would fill the niche of St. Cuthbert? I'm thinking Fronaeus as he is a God of justice.

Thoughts?

The problem with Fronaus is that he's the god of nobility, while Saint Cuthbert is very much a commoner's deity (he manifests as a humble tinker, brown or green-robed wanderer, or "manure-covered yokel" - his places of worship are most commonly wayside shrines or small, rude chapels).

For that reason, I think a better match would be Fronaus's brother Henrin, "the protector of the meek, the humble, and the mild."

Fronaus seems more akin to Pholtus or Heironeous.

Thanks for your input Rip!

Henrin does indeed sound like a good replacement. I will use him instead.
Interestingly, Dave Arneson used "St. Cuth" in some of his writings, including Adventures in Fantasy. When was St. Cuthbert first used in the hobby? Does he go back to the C&C Society Setting?
