![]() Triangle pointing down containing swirling mist Left hand, pointing upwards, outlined in fire From this original creation point, the pantheon of the Forgotten Realms has expanded with each of the deities of the Forgotten Realms listed below: Name ![]() It was at this point that a great rift arose between the 2 goddesses and a conflict formed. They also created Chauntea who imbued their worlds with life but requested that warmth be given to her living things that they might survive. Selune provided the light and Shar provided the shadowy places. Each goddess complemented one another and worked together to create the worlds of the Forgotten Realms. Toril was originally created by the twin goddesses Shar and Selune. There may even be gods lurking in the universe that most people haven’t even heard of. Such individuals have been included below, but this does allow huge scope for DMs to create their own deities or even offer players the opportunity to achieve godhood themselves. Some mortals even aspire to godhood and some have achieved this phenomenal achievement like Vecna and Kelemvor. While the gods are immortal, they are not infallible and can be killed or defeated in rare circumstances as happened during the Time of Troubles in Faerun when gods walked the Toril as mortal avatars. In much rarer instances, some individuals may pit themselves against the gods themselves. For those that dedicate themselves to the worship of some god or another is the potential for great power granted upon their followers as is the case for clerics and paladins. For the common folk, in a world of boundless dangers, the ability to petition to a deity gives hope and sometimes the blessings of some boon or another for their devotion. And the deities do vary a bit, so in my mind at least, they are both the same (all the Lolths are part of the same Lolth), but are also individuals.Religion for the inhabitants of the D&D universe is important. It gets complicated, to be sure, but it's also really interesting. To truly kill them, you would have to do so in all the settings they exist in, which is hard with multispheric deities. This is one of the reasons a "dead" god may not stay dead. Again, however, some deities are multispheric, existing in multiple settings. The cosmology layout has changed through the editions, but they are connected, in a way.Īnd to your last question that is my understanding. So theoretically', Pelor and Lathander could meet up in Elysium (though they probably have their own "sections"). Ao is the overgod of Realmspace, but not the entire multiverse, for example. But the D&D settings are each a part of the multiverse.
