Portal:Deities

The gods worshiped by the regular people of Faerûn, its monsters, and even its lesser deities are the subject of many sourcebooks, and this section aims to provide information regarding the deities themselves, their churches, their pantheons and their followers.

The Red Knight, or the Lady of Strategy, is the Faerûnian deity of strategy and battle tactics and an exarch of Tempus. Her dogma dictates the use of careful tactics in battle to achieve victory, under the belief that sound strategy is the best way to win a battle with the most favorable outcome. Her symbol is a red 'knight' chess piece with stars for eyes.

There are many ways of classifying deities, so you can view deities by different criteria such as alignment, domain or power level.

Alignment

Lawful good • Lawful neutral • Lawful evil • Neutral good • True neutral • Neutral evil • Chaotic good • Chaotic neutral • Chaotic evil

Domain

Air • Animal • Chaos • Death • Destruction • Earth • Evil • Fire • Good • Healing • Knowledge • Law • Luck • Magic • Plant • Protection • Strength • Sun • Time • Travel • Trickery • War • Water

Power

For most of the major races in the Forgotten Realms there is an entire pantheon of deities, ranging from the all-powerful greater deities to the minor and lesser deities. This arrangement of the deities reflects the early years of the Era of Upheaval, after the Time of Troubles but before the Spellplague.

The entire cosmology of Toril was transformed during the Spellplague, the World Tree was uprooted and the divine dominions began to float in the Astral Sea. The fiendish planes scattered as well, and the elemental planes collapsed into the Elemental Chaos. Some dominions suffered or were destroyed, some prospered, and others merged as the deities that called them home united against the devastating upheaval.
