I don't know if you guys have seen the pic at wizards.com, but there is this really cool pic of Helm doing battle with what looks to be a Naga queen from Heroes of Might Magic III. Half woman, half serpent with multiple arms. Lower half is serpent and upper half is a female with multiple arms. Anyway it's awesome. I still have the link if anyone is interested. Bah, probably not. I think I'm the only Helm fan here.

That's a marilith, a sort of demon.

The elven gods were also affected by Time of Troubles ? I see no one mentions them. Or they are not under the leadership of Ao ?

Every god from Faerun serves Ao I think (he created them after all...)
Here are the deity locations during ToT:

Red Knight: The Red Knight appeared in northeastern Tethyr, where he helped that nation defeat monsters raiding from the Wealdath.

it says Red Knight is a dude here

What's your source?

Powers & Pantheons, Faiths & Pantheons, etc all say she's a woman. F&P even has a picture of her.

Good Thread
I see no way to rate this thread. I find this thread to be very good and I think it should be changed to a sticky. The questions that continue to get posted here are in copius supply and I should like to always be able to come back to read it through and through.

I bet there is some rivalry between Ao and The Lady of Pain

hmm...only if we assume Ao would have some interest on Sigil. He is a overgod and I don't think he needs portals to travel across planes. However the ruleship over the Cage opens infinite options...

[NiGHTMARE]

I like to think the sole drawback of being an overgod is that you're limited to a single crystal sphere . The reason being, you're so intriscately linked with it that both you and the crystal sphere would be destroyed if you ever left.

If its in his crystal sphere then I guess he would, but it's not (I think) he is only interested in maintaining balance (how his will formed from Chaos is beyond me).

Fair enough then, is she a butch looking of a woman?

Lady of Pain on Ao

had to say it

[MERLANCE]

Hmm, I was always of the impression that the Lady of Pain was just a bunch of squirrels in a suit or something.

Of course, ive never encountered her in any game other than Torment, especially no any PnP games...

[Kish]

Is there any mention of Tymora and what happened to her through the series?

She is rumored to have spent the whole Time of Troubles dueling with Beshaba, literally.

Lolth: The Spider Queen appeared in her great city of Menzoberranzan, home of the outcast Drizzt Do'Urden, where she allegedly slew a minor drow deity of assassination and usurped her portfolio.

Funny I dont remember this hapening, she did destroy a "house" with psi-talent that wanted to remove Lolths worship;) . Btw is the "War of Spider Queen" an affter effect of ToT.

exactly

some lines later:
---------------
For an instant, the goddess caught a glimpse of the beauty and perfection of her home in Nirvana.
All this was mine, Mystra thought. She reached the summit, her legs trembling beneath her. Then the Goddess of Magic grabbed for the gate, and a hand grasped her arm, spinning her around. There was a look of sadness in Helm's eyes.
"Farewell, goddess," Helm said.
Then he drove his hand through her chest.

So this is the second time Goddes of Magic died(first time in Netheril saga second book when she destroyed herself causing magic to colapse and the fall of Netheril empire)? The mortality rate of gods in Faerun is high.

Hmm, I was always of the impression that the Lady of Pain was just a bunch of squirrels in a suit or something.

LoL

You know... it just doesn't make sense that Mystra isn't waging an all-out war against Helm, then, in revenge. I mean, she controls magic, surely her worshippers could rain some serious shit on the ShieldDudes' heads!

And once we're at Mystra not making any sense... she's NG. So why does she allow evil mages to work freely?

[NiGHTMARE]

Despite favoring the good, Mystra knows she must maintain the balance. Also, if she did stop denying access en-masse, most evil mages would simply switch to Shar's Shadow Weave instead, and Mystra would prefer as few people use that as possible.

Not to mention that Ao would be supremely p***ed off if she stopped granting spells to people simply because of their alignment.

She is not fighting Helm because the Guardian god killed the previous godess of magic not her and after all - Helm just did his work.
Midnight chosed the name 'Mystra' to prevent chaos betwen her faithful followers.
Previous Mystra was LN if I remember correctly

More on the Red Knight: apparently, at Tyr's assistance, Torm has recently attempted to befriend the Red Knight, and there may be a romance blooming between the two.

Other divine relationships include the previously mentioned Kelemvor and Mystra relationship (the pair are very slowly growing close again), Tymora and Brandobaris, an on-again-off-again romance between Chauntea and Lathander, and Shar's attempts to seduce both Hoar and Shevarash.

The problem with FR gods is that are too mortal in the way they act and so forth that's what I find weird

and Shar's attempts to seduce both Hoar and Shevarash.

Have you got any info. on those two?

The mortality rate of gods in Faerun is high.

Indeed, but most don't truly die but get reborn, such as Mystra, Bane, got very close for Bhaal, Torm...etc
