Favourite FR deity

Remove all ads!

Lathander, Torm, and of course the ones that opposite the both, cyric and Talos.

 

Torm. Inspired by Keldorn and the reward/curses he places on his followers for obedience. Only a minor diety but he has such a huge effect on the realms. Gets along well with Helm and Tyr (who is probably the most powerful god next to Ao).

I hate Gruumsh. For being the leader of the Orc Powers he certainly is a cry-baby/b!tch. Doesn't admit he got his ass kicked by Corellon Larethian.

 

Obad Hai. Wise strength is a master...

 

Eilistraee, without a doubt. It seems like almost every PnP cleric I roll up follows her. She's just unbelievably cool. A mysterious figure, who chose to personally suffer for her own people (agreeing to banishment), when 99% of them could care less. She is beautiful, selfless, and a beacon of hope. I appreciate her ideals too--that all races can set aside their differences and live in harmony.

BUT I also like that, in spite of this, she's not some milquetoast hippie. She believes in a righteous ass kicking too when needed.

Actually, I love the whole Drow pantheon with the exception of Ghaunadaur (slimes are yucky). Vhaeraun is a sneaky bastard, Kiaranaslee is just itching to get out from under Lolth's thumb, and Selvatarm is Lolth's bitch. And of course, there's Lolth herself, the coolest baddie you love to hate in all of roleplaying.

The human FR pantheon bores me to everloving tears--except Loviatar, cause really who can hate a dominatrix?--as do humans in DnD in general. I'm extremely annoyed at the fact that the non-human deities always get short shrift in the books and in the DnD cRPGs.

I have never been satisfied by the deity choices in the cRPGs though. IWD2 got it the best, I think, and even that was lacking.

 

Oh-my-god..I forgot Nerull..

**Bangs with head**

Gosh I'm such an idiot...

 

Shadow Cougar: Obad-Hai and Nerull are not FR Deities. They are from the Greyhawk Pantheon, and is not the subject here.

 

**Looking at the topic name not aware of what is Firestorm talking about, confused**

Oooouuuu....I have not seen "FR" at all....Just..."What is your fav diety"....

My serious bad....

 

Hmm... difficult, difficult...

I'd have to say my favorites are Cyriuc and Lolth, but I a sure that those of you who know me could already guess that.

Then again, I must agree with Paine on Loviatar...

 

Shadow Cougar, FR is an abbreviation for "Forgotten Realms", as in the campaign setting.

 

Ilmanter: I think he reflects Jesus the most.

Bhaal (R.I.P) and Mystra are in my opinion the coolest..

 

Interesting little tidbit to all those who wsay they'd worship Mielikki: The D&D Goddess is a total ripoff of an ancient Finnish goddes/mythological creature...

She's even mentioned in our national Epic....

 

Interesting tidbit on Silvanas: The Roman god Silvanas was believed to, ahem, "have his way with" brides on their wedding night if her husband and family didn't protect her.

What does that say about Jaheira???

 

Tempus, Mystra, and Gond for me. Where is 'The Flopish Idiot' when you need a good popularity contest between the gods!?!?

 

Jaguar: that link doesn't work.

I agree with Takara, I like the little folk the best. Dwarves much more than Gnomes, though.

My favorite deity is the dwarven goddess of battle and luck, Haela Brightaxe (similar in concept with Sir Belisarius, just shorter). Although not very powerful, in 3rd edition my favorite character was a Barbarian/Cleric of Haela Brightaxe named Kilona Ziguldun. She was a ton of fun!

 

Maliki and Helm!! malki because nature rules and helm because the people need protecting!
