	Her most prominent aspect in the game is the fallen Temple of Love with the [[nedum vereri]]. There is a player written [[The Tale of the Dead Trees (short story)\|"The Tale of the Dead Trees"]] with some claim of officialness through GM ~~Voraviel~~. The Temple of Love was made by GM Varevice, and the malevolent power from the castle in the distance was never elaborated further. The surrounding areas are much older than the Temple of Love, making any such story a retcon of [[Sentoph]]. The dead trees motivate the undeath conditions needed for darkwoodes, and tree spirits, which were originally located with them.

	There is a direct correspondence between the [[Gods of Elanthia]] and the major pantheons of [[Shadow World]]. Most of these are very similar to their [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] forms. However, there are differences between them and their intrinsic nature from the [[Arkati]], and the lore has gradually changed over the years. Some older things were designed in the context of now archaic documentation. There was a transitional period of a few years where the gods documentation was set in Elanthia, but the details were closer to their less child-friendly Shadow World origins. These "intermediate" forms are also listed.		There is a direct correspondence between the [[Gods of Elanthia]] and the major pantheons of [[Shadow World]].

	* Whether Orgiana escaped to the moon or was banished to the Black Hel is a point of self-contradiction in the Shadow World books. In the later description of Inis she was banished to the Black Hel, and in the "Demons of the Burning Night" adventure module (1989) Orgiana is actually physically present and trapped in the Black Hel. In "Powers of Light and Darkness" (page 102, 2003) there is also a line about the Dark Gods being more dependent on physical forms than their Orhan counterparts, with the banishment of Orgiana used to illustrate the point. Her own description still says she escaped, but implies she is in exile or hiding. In the "Demons" book it says the Lords of Orhan themselves do not know where she is, that it is a "mystery to all", and that it is suspected she is hiding on Charon. This might be reconciled if she escaped to Charon during the purge, was hiding there at first, and became imprisoned in the Black Hel when the Lords of Orhan sealed the gates on Charon.		* Whether Orgiana escaped to the moon or was banished to the Black Hel is a point of self-contradiction in the Shadow World books.

	* The author of Shadow World has [http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?topic=15879.120 stated] (2016) that he only put her in the Charon pantheon because she had been in the earlier "Demons of the Burning Night", where it claims it is suspected she is hiding on Charon, and that her followers should be restricted in power as she is not an active deity at present. (The "Powers of Light and Darkness" description of Inis describes her as pleased to not have to compete with Orgiana for female followers any longer and that there would be friction if Orgiana escaped her prison.)		* The author of Shadow World has [http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?topic=15879.120 stated] (2016) that he only put her in the Charon pantheon because she had been in the earlier "Demons of the Burning Night", where it claims it is suspected she is hiding on Charon, and that her followers should be restricted in power as she is not an active deity at present.

			* In Demons of the Burning Night (1989) Orgiana is described as having two symbols. One is the Helm of Kadaena, and the other is a skull.
	* The crypt in [[The Graveyard]] appears loosely based on aspects of Orgiana's temple and the crypt of the royal palace of Kadaena's daughter from "Demons of the Burning Night", which contains information about Orgiana's Black Hel pantheon which she actually rules. These were the spots the Helm of Kadaena artifact was held, which was Orgiana's symbol in that culture, which [[Bandur Etrevion]] could only have known from [[The Broken Lands and ki-lin: Part 4 (log)\|visions]] of the future rather than seeing it himself. The Lovecraftian interpretation of Kadaena is unique to GemStone III if it was intentional.		* The crypt in [[The Graveyard]] appears loosely based on aspects of Orgiana's temple and the crypt of the royal palace of Kadaena's daughter from "Demons of the Burning Night", which contains information about Orgiana's Black Hel pantheon which she actually rules.

	* [[The Broken Lands]] conflates Orgiana and [[Empress Kadaena]] along with the [[Temple of Darkness Poem]] (1994), which refers to Morgu (Marlu) being the guardian of the "Dark Queen." This ''could'' be implying that in the I.C.E. Age of GemStone III, specifically, Orgiana may be the ascended form of the dead Empress. Kadaena was known to use great demons as body guards, and Orgiana has demonic servants made from spirits. The poem is written in Iruaric, the dead language of the Lords of Essaence, who as far as anyone knows are from entirely separate historical periods.		* [[The Broken Lands]] conflates Orgiana and [[Empress Kadaena]] along with the [[Temple of Darkness Poem]] (1994), which refers to Morgu (Marlu) being the guardian of the "Dark Queen."

This suggests lingering moon associations were inertia from archaic documentation.

			* [[Andraax]] was terrified of Scalu, according to one account. It is difficult to source the story in canon. He was supposedly nearly killed by Scalu at the Battle of Maegris, near the end of the [[Wars of Dominion]] in 6825 Second Era, but was saved at the last minute by the [[avatar]] of Cay. This account describes Scalu's [[Sheruvian harbinger\|heralds]] of darkness leading demonic armies under an [[Ordainer]], with Cay appearing in person to stop Scalu. This section of text is partly quoted in the Shadow World Player's Guide (2008, page 41), but it is unclear if there is a version of it earlier than the De-ICEing of GemStone III. Strangely, it refers to Scalu as the "Jackal" god, when his form should be a hyena rather than a jackal.
