WOW! Syl, 8 minutes flat!!

You got those memorized? or just taped to your wall? :)

Take a break, man. Spending WAY too much time away from the REAL world.

On the other hand...who's to say Faerun isn't the real world.. and we're all living a dream...(or nightmare) :)

Of those, these are now dead (but may be restored powers):

Amuanator (in the game)
Bane
Bhaal
Ibrandul
Leira
Moander
Myrkul

Just a side note, these are the gods of the realms, but not all D&D settings follows this pantheon

Grummsh Orcish god
That god of Mazzy how is she called?
Lloth Spider Queen
In that book about the dead three is also a beatsgod mentoint.Who was visiting the old god of death before Myrkul was it and a daughter of Mystra is also a god, I think she was called Midnight, and what is the deal about Ao is he true neutral or alignmentless!?

Is Elminister a demi-god because he was chosen by mystra and he has really mad powers. Anywhere how old is he. I think he it a couple of billion years old.

Hey Tal, why not put up a section on the site about all the gods? I think that'd be pretty good, dunno about everyone else though :) .

I'd love to if I had the time to do it, but really I don't. Just doing the regular updates and sometimes adding a bit of my own takes a large part of my free time. I barely get to play the game any, what with all the study I have to keep up with and all. ;)

But if anyone is interested and has the time to do a bit of research, then by all means do and I will post your work on the site and give you credit for it.

Light Bringer, Elminster is "only" a bit over 500 years old.

I'd do it Tal, but I'm really busy revising for my mocks at the moment, so I can't. Syl maybe ..........

Such a detailed one as he's making takes much more time than the rest that you see around the net.

Hey,

Everybody forgot AO

AO is kind of the Zues like "uber" god.

Night, if you want to get a littel more educated on the god structure of the Forgotten Realms I suggest reading the Avatar trilology (Shadowdale, Tantras, and Waterdeep are the book titles). It's a pretty good series and covers the Time of troubles and soem of the gods quite well.

Nightal
Wed, 6th Dec '00, 1:36pm
I didn't forget Ao, and I asked for a Internetside whit Information, my English is not good enough for a book trilogy

No one wants to follow one God.

It gives the Forgotten Realms much more diversity when creating a character.

Does anyone else have some good info about this topic?

Rasalgethi

Well I guess Syl forgot some other Gods you can find in 'Monster and Mythology' book, like Lloth, Eilistrae, Ghaunadar, Vhaeraun (all Dark Elf Gods, though Eilistrae is a Good one). There is a pack of other Gods for Orcs (Grumsh, the One-Eyed), Goblins, Beholders, even Kobolds... :).

Else, after Time of Troubles, Mystra disappeared too, and Midnight replaced her.

And no Elminster is not a demi-god, he is a Chosen (like the 7 sisters and Khelben 'BlackStaff' Arunsun). I guess he is something like 600 / 800 years old, when he was young he helped the Cormanthyr, that is actually called Myth Drannor (only ruins remain).

I'm glad I posted this topic, there's going to be a section about the gods!!
Please include historys, avatars, stats and so on.

Thanx again for al the replys!

Rasalgethi

Hmmm... You should look at some TSR books to get precise information about stats, like Deities and DemiGods, Legends & Lore, Monster Mythology, Fiend Folio (I can't remember exactly, but I think that you can find Demogorgon and Asmodeus stats on that one, ADD1st edition), I guess recent books of the 2nd edition have some information too, like the Book of Elves, Book of Dwarves (with Clanggedin, Moradin,...),... Hmmm... don't know about 3rd edition, lol :).

If any of you read the Avitar trilogy, Cyric is now a god in place of Bhaal, Bane, and Myrkul. Mystra died, and Midnight was put in her place.

EternalPaladin
Mon, 18th Dec '00, 10:53pm
Hate to spoil some of the posts, but Mystra IS Midnight. Midnight absorbed part of Mystra's essence and became Mystra. That is why she is still called Mystra.

Another note also, Kelemvor took over Myrkul's pantheon after he took it from Cyric.

Incase you missed the Site News of Sorcerer's Place, the Gods listing is now available under the Forgotten Realms Section.

EternalPaladin: Really? That's cool. I really thought that Kelemvor's death was totally useless and in vain. It's good to hear that it wasn't; but how do you know this info? I don't remember that from the Waterdeep.

Also, I didn't know that about Mystra either. I thought they just called her Midnight now. I knew she had Mystra's power, but I didn't know she took the name as well.

Quick answer to EternalPaladin

I take the last two pages of the Avatar trilogy, sorry I have the french version so my translation could be not exact as the english version : 'Finally, The Wounded Lady comes, the new Godess of Magic... As for all other Gods, Midnight goes into her new Realm, Nirvana'.

Then come the thoughs of Ao where he talks about Midnight, not Mystra. So, how can you interpret that ?? IMHO, I think Mystra disapeared (I never said died) and Midnight took the biggest part of the cake of the Mystra's Powers. You know that the Chosens got a part of her Power, because she knew her future.

Comments ??

Nightal: Are you danish? because if you are you can read the Avatar Trilogy in danish as well only here there are six books all written by Richard Awlinson (which is kinda funny because it is written by two guys and none of the are named either Richard nor Awlinson)

Wait wait wait...There are six books? I only read the Avatar Trilogy. Are there three other books that he/they wrote about the time of Troubles or somthing of the like? I loved the Avatar Trilogy and would love to know more about the god's histories.

EternalPaladin

To answer a few questions.....

OK, actually you are ALL correct. The story of Midnight and Mystra is confusing to say the least. When Mystra died at the hands of Helm, her power was absorbed by the land mostly. Midnight, when she ascended to godhood, instead of changing her portfolio decided to take over everything of Mystra's (including her name), but her alignment was one of the few things that changed (now lawful good). Midnight is now considered by her church to be the avatar form of Mystra.

So, to sum it all up, MIDNIGHT is MYSTRA. Hopefully this clarifies something

No Vile dont worry its only in danish there are six books because the publishers decided to split each book in two to make more money

heres a good idea.

Don't post a 750k file here, thats huge for UBB terms.


Can you send it to me please?

Septic, everything in those files is online now (check those two links I posted on the previous page).
The only thing omitted were the symbols of the gods (gifs) which were way too big to fit on the page.
Or you can wait another day or two when I'll add the original files to those pages too and you'll be able to download them from there.
