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.

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.

Velsharoon (pronounced VEL-shah-roon), the Archmage of Necromancy, is a vain, selfish, petty, but very canny deity consumed with vengeance, obsessed with experimenting on living and dead beings, and unconcerned with the fates of lesser creatures. In many ways he continues to act like the mortal he recently was, albeit with far greater power at his disposal than before.

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