What Forgotten Realms God Do You Follow?

Remove all ads!

What Forgotten Realms God do you follow in your gaming and maybe in real life? Have you ever performed any rituals in the name of a certain diety? I follow the godess Tymora(in real life) but I just stick to praying from time to time(ussuasly in times of crisiss). If you want a list of FR dieties try this: Forgotten Realms Gods.

my dear friend Garak... I follow Kossuth (i'm a pyromaniac), Tymora (don't know why...) and Mask for my thief wannabe dreams...

 

I follow shar, I'm always 2 steps behind her, just to annoy her, singing songs she hates.

Oh wait a second you didn't mean Follow in that way did you

 

I don't follow any gods in real life (certainly not FR gods)
In D&D I usually follow Mielikki.

 

In life: God, Christ, Jahwe, The Lord, The Holy Spirit etc. No saints or other beings created by God.

D&D: Lathander as main deity. Others: Chauntea, Ilmater, Mielikki, Sune, Kord, some other good aligned deities. No racial pantheons, usually.

 

Torm, Helm or Moradin if I'm being a 'nice guy/dwarf' - if not I'm usually following Mask.

Real life? Agnostic.

 

Following a Forgotten Realms deity in real life means someone really should see a doctor. Such a person has what it takes to make something up, call it a name and start praying to it one day.

In games, in D&D it depends on how deities are represented - if one's choosing one deity out of the whole pantheon to worship, or if it's a patron deity that's simply more related. The alignment is either LG or NG, at any rate. Out of the NG ones, Lathander would make it the most easily.

Edit: Hehe, it seems I was thinking about something else when posting. Obviously, the second paragraph should have, and now does, start with something like "in games" or "in D&D". Thanks for pointing that out to me.

In FR/games: Differs; Llolth, Talos, Tempus, Helm, Baphomet, the list goes on...

Real life: Satan, and related evil powers.

 

chevalier, I wonder if you realize just how fun what you just wrote is.

 

I never kill spiders, and often end up vbowing in front of them.... that clue enough?

And yes, i do actuially own a whip. A sucky one, but what can I say, couldn't afford a good one.

 

Does the Lady of Pain count as an FR deity?

If yes, then it's her in both gaming AND real life

Chevalier, there's an odd complementarity between what you say in the first paragraph and the second

 

talk about a coinky-dinky,i was just thinking of this exact question myself earlier today

I'd have to say that its mostly Torm and Tymora

 

I'm a Techsmith of Gond.

 

Corrected that error. Thanks for spotting.

 

It was an error? I thought it made more sense the way it was before the correction

 

I guess you people really make a lot of difference between games and real life ... I don't!

Well anyhows, if I were to try and differenciate games from RL i would get to the conclusion that I couldn't because in games I do as I would do in RL. So this beeing said, it's time for me to tell you about my FR beliefs in detail (not too much detail):

My patron Godess is Tymora (Good Fortune, Skill, Victory, Adventurers, Adventuring).

My Secondary Gods are: Kossuth (Elemental Fire, Fire Elementalists, Purification through Fire), Silvanus (Wild Nature, Druids) Selune (Moon, Stars, Navigation, Navigators, Wanderers, Seekers, Good and Neutral Lycanthropes) and Mask (Thieves, Thievery, Shadows).

My Minor Gods are: Shar (Dark, Night, Loss, Forgetfulness, Unrevealed Secrets, Caverns, Dungeons, The Underdark), Gond (Artifice, Craft, Construction, Smithwork), Mielikki (Forest, Forest Creatures, Rangers, Dryads, Autumn), Auril (Cold, Winter), Deneir (Glyphs, Images, Literature, Literacy, Scribes, Pictorial and Literary Art, Cartography), Eldath (Quiet Places, Springs, Pools, Stillness, Peace, Waterfalls, Druid Groves), Lliira (Joy, Happiness, Dance, Festivals, Carefree Celebration, Contentment, Release, Hospitality Freedom/Liberty; From Waukeen - Trade, Money:$$$:, Wealth) and Shaundakul (Travel, Exploration, Long Range traders, Miners, Caravans, Wind Ghosts).

I mourn the death of: Bhaal , Ibrundul and Waukeen.

PS: I think this one would be useful as well, considering the fact that it's a lot more complete than the one on Daggerford: The Pantheon of the Realms Ow yes, and it's one of "ours" as well.

 

Should really be in the D&D forum, like....er...mine. http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/8/737.html.

Like I said there, it has to be Garl Glittergold for me.

 

"Page can't be found" I'm going to try the link in Kelvon's post...

EDIT: Shoot, the one one SP is just a list and not a quize type thing, so I'll just list the ones that best fit me.

Greater Power: Mystra
Intermediate Power: Gond and Tymora
Lesser Power: Azuth

Also, does anyone know if there is a website out there that tells the story of how each of the dead gods died?

@Kitrax

i would love to find a quiz like webpage about FR gods but I don't think there are any...yet... and about the story of how each of the dead gods died? I think you could read the whole FR history, it's somewhere on the internet... but i can't remember where, so if i find it i'll post you the link
