Forgotten Realms Lore Question?

Right “ Tarot Redhand “ because even if they still have worshippers on Aber-Toril some Gods could help tip the balance if they were to pick up enough followers from Syithus. There for some Gods would care more (be scheming) if mankind survived on Syithus.

 

 

I see what you’r saying “ Werelynx “. If there are some Gods who are fading or have faded away (lack of followers/worshipers) on Aber-Toril that it would really be beneficial for them to have dedicated followers on Syithus. There for in return they help mankind out on Syithus more than the other Gods who don't really need the followers. So I guess in the end only the Gods who would be willing to help mankind on Syithus would be the ones that needed the followers or the ones who are scheming to tip the odds in their favor.

Possibly, but you ought to look at the history of Sharess/Felidae/Zandilar/Bast (all one and the same goddes) who originally came from Earth. When the connection between here and the forgotten Realms closed Bast became 2 godess's which were the same (one for the realms and one for Earth).

It's true, though they've sort of swept under the carpet that the Forgotten Realms were originally accessible from Earth.

My info was based on a couple of 2ed source books - "Old Empires" and "Powers and Pantheons", the latter of which is a companion to "Faiths and Avatars". From these books it seems that the trans-dimensional travel only became available about 400 years after the earliest days of the realms. Not having read them for ages I can't recall when the gateway closed.

Ok I read over that page on the wikia about Sharess

So are you saying some of the gods could have split into two different Gods one for Aber-Toril and one for Syithus?

 

Or

 

Just have Sharess split again?

Are you saying make it so during this time something happen causing a splitting of the two planets tapping the gods on ones side or the other?

Some of the gods could have split, some may not have made the journey, some could indeed be trapped on one side or the other and finally some could be from Syithus and not Aber-Toril in the first place. It's all down to you. You are making a parallel version of Toril that is not identical in all respects, after all.

Well thanks for the help its always better to brainstorm with others and see what you can come up with. I have to say I do like where this is going. Its going to give me a little Forgotten Realms feel yet freedom to make it my own world (different cities and landscape). Which is what I needed when using the NWN platform and not wanting to rewrite everything (Gods, Class, Races, and so on).

Well I have updated this a little. I'm still working on it but its a little closer to what I'm going for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the giving me ideas and helping me to brain storm a little.

One thing I would change. Instead of TRoR I would change it to RoR - Realms of Ruins (or even RoaR - Realms of Ancient Ruins), so that we avoid people thinking I have anything to do with this. '>
