Does anyone else have some good info about this topic?

 

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).

 

During the Christmas break I have agreed to help post info on the god structure of the Forgotten Realms, check back here after Christmas.

 

Ah... I forgot to mention some Elves Gods :
Corellon Larethian, Halani Celanil, Sehanine, Auril, Aerdrie Faenya, ...

 

You forgot the most important God of them all!

Sylvus!



Syl...

 

rofl .

May I say that the Overall God could be Gary Gygax (sounds like Kangaxx... weird, isn't it ).

 

Sent my stuff to Sorcerer, he may be able to put it up somewhere. Sorry Oomph, my 750k file wont fit in your 500k mailbox, so I keep getting 'undelivered'.

 

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!

 

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.

 

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.

 

No,i,m dutch are those books in dutch too?

 

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
