You know, recently reading into 4e Faerun I am by and large positvely excited. Even tho many destroyed realms to the south are kinda sad, I knew them only barely, sticking mostly to computer games until recently.

But what I positively miss are all those old gods, and sorry but those "new" gods are speak not to me at all. There are so many missing divine aspects which are just not really covered, and many cool and interesting gods are gone or absorbed. In this case WotC just did a bad job IMO. Here are some highlights of gods I really want to see back:

- Lathander: Sorry but Amanauthor just doesn't do. I liked the positive attitude of the Morninglord way more than the stern lawful Sun God we have now. Lathander had something youthful, optimistic, and not the aspect of a supreme judge.

- Mask: Where is the god of thieves? How can a world live without a trickster god of thieves??

- Helm & Tyr: I just don't feel with Torm. Again, Helm and Tyr were gods I could "feel", who felt kinda inspiring, but Torm, I connect nothing with him. Watchful Helm and honorable Tyr just were cool gods.

- Ellistrae: I am just profoundly shocked over her death. For me as a good-Drow-fan, Ellistrae was always of the greatest importance, and no Corellian just does NOT do! He was the one who curses the Drow and now the good Darkelves are under his domain? NO FRIGGING WAY.

- Mystra: Last but not least. Yes it makes the sense of the Spellplague, but for me Mystra was always some sort of benevolent goddess of pulling strings, with Mystras chosen who helped the good cause of the Realms. Via Elminster and others. Now Elminster is mad, Khelban is dead and the Chosen of Mystra are all but faded away. Even if Mystra returning would not have the same power over magic as before, maybe more a goddess of "heroes" and "civilization" or so.


I miss these gods. And yes you can say, we can make our own setting where they still live, you just get it pushed into your face in any official material that they don't. I prefer the official settings and seriously request WotC to bring them back. I always felt that too much god-dying never was a good thing, and IMO one of the weak spots of D&D. I kinda prefer my gods to be... well gods. Who just stay in power. Maybe kill one or two over a LONG period of time as some sort of exciting story, yes, but this is way too much.

for the first and last time. The Chronomancer faked his death with a clone so many centuries ago and has been watching in the background as Mystra's chosen have been doing their goddess's work. Having gone from Aethiest to a Silvanus worshiper, he went foward in time and watched it all happen.

sneaking back in the past, he hides 4 enclaves and later warns HAlruua to hide and where.
Halruua wasn't destroyed, they got out of the place 8 months before the plague and now live within it inhabiting 4 netherese enclaves.

4 enclaves of Halruuans verses two enclaves of shade....



and Eilistraee isn't dead, she just gave up her divinity and they key word in that book is Feigned death.

I ne'er liked Tyr or Torm so.....


oh wait, this is fan ficed......

its your realms, if you want Helm back, than Helm never died.

Imruphel...you are--by far--the epitomy of all that is right and wrong with FR these days.

Taco?
