Gorm Gulthyn Deity Issues

Two things:

First off, what the server recognizes as Gorm Gulthyn is spelled in the module incorrectly as Gorm Gulthym. This leads to someone spelling it initially correctly having to reset their deity.

Secondly, it seems to state that the selection of said deity is inappropriate for a paladin character. Given that Gorm Gulthyn himself is a Paladin/Cleric/Diviner, Lawful Good, and his order includes defenders, crusaders, and those dedicated to the protection of others this seems odd that it doesn't recognize dwarven paladins amongst his order.

I imagine that this is an issue with The Hand in the starting area, which is probably out of date and may have errors with the more obscure deities.

Gorm Gulthyn should work for paladins/LG clerics/etc. (whatever's in his deity entry) when spelled correctly during character generation.

Update: Yes, I and/or Snoteye fixed an issue related to him about a year ago, after setting up a more advanced, easier-to-modify deity validation system. Unfortunately, The Hand uses ancient technology which I do not understand. I'll look into creating a replacement so we can remove it.
