overview
The deities of the setting owe their existence to the FORGOTTEN REALMS SETTING, from a article in the Dragon sometime in 1979. I was looking about for a new set of deities to replace the older version of Beldorn and found the barebones of a pantheon to be used. It has been modified and changed, borrowing items from Faiths and Avatars book as well as non human FR books of 2nd ed and the Monster Mythology book. They have been changed and prodded to fit my conception for my setting and were changed to accomodate third edition.
The dieties may have different names in other parts of the setting and perhaps other minor differences but for all intents they are the same. In particular, the northern continent, the Duchies of Haldamar, the Green isles and Rus have the same names. The names become different in Nafraan and Samaran as well as the lands of the Rokan and in the Sauda empire region.
The head of the human pantheon is Tempus. He has a wife Mystra and they have three sons, Tyr, Torm and Helm. Tempus has a brother in Cyric whom he is in eternal conflict. Cyric has his offspring, Mask, Talos, and Umberlee.
Silvanus and Selune are husband and wife with Gond and Tyche as their offspring. Selune is the sister of Latlander and the son of Latlander is Oghma.
Loviatar,Besheba, and Shar are the daughters of Anduhar, the third brother banished by both Cyric and Tempus in the far past.
Sune, Ilmater and Deneir are the daughter and son of Mystra but not Tempus.
The humans break the pantheon into three different parts. The first part is named the thunder deities and are usually associated with destructive tendencies. These deities are Tempus, Cyric, Talos and Umberlee.
The second part are the watcher deities, Tyr, Helm, Torm and Mask. All the others are the quiet deities.
Mechanically the clerics list start with the core 3.5 ph. I have made additions and subtractions from that list to make the clerics somewhat different from each other. Some of the clerics don’t turn undead, others don’t wear armor or have limited weapons list, again in keeping with I felt their differences in philosophy and the ideals of their deities.
