In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, Velnius is the Oeridian god of the Sky and Weather. His holy symbol is a bird perching upon a cloud.
Velnius was first detailed for the Dungeons & Dragons game in the World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting (1983), by Gary Gygax.
Velnius was one of the deities described in the From the Ashes set (1992), for the Greyhawk campaign. Velnius is described as one of the good deities that celestials can serve in the supplement Warriors of Heaven (1999).
Velnius's role in the 3rd edition Greyhawk setting was defined in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (2000).
Velnius appears as a tall, white-haired, middle-aged man wearing a feathered cloak from which water and bolts of lightning pour.
Velnius is Procan's eldest child, Merikka's cousin, and brother of Telchur, Atroa, Sotillion, and Wenta. He leads his siblings in their duties as the Oeridian agricultural gods (the Velaeri). As the most responsible member of his family, Velnius often finds himself supporting or taking over for his siblings when they are lax in their duties or overwhelmed. His family members are his chief allies, though he is also on good terms with many neutral and druidic deities. He opposes his sister Sotillion's brother-in-law, Kurell.
