In the Fourth Edition, Hanali Celanil was revealed to be an aspect of Sune... Or was she?
Two things you must remember, Gods lie and Humans lie even to themselves.
Examples: Cyric impersonates other gods but does not mention he is that god. Or Waukeen went missing, Llirra mentioned she was missing but the priest thought she was dead.
Yet people do not all have the same idea or believe the common knowledge given these facts. Alternative theories have occurred.
1: They were both damaged by the Spellplague so willing fused together.
1a: By Merging they have become a new Half-elven goddess, a side effect of both being embraced by Half-elves for the love which created them altering the goddesses.
2: The Demihuman and Human Pantheons are moving closer together, force each to battle for dominance.
2a: Sune killed/Defeated Hanali, and thus gained her place in the Elven Pantheon.
2b: The more common Elven Theory. Hanali has managed to kill/defeat Sune, and is masquarading as the human goddess for the moment, as a game or to build a base before revealing the truth.

IMHO they should come up with a reason why the demihuman and monstrous deities were hit harder by the spellplague than the faerunian pantheon. This way they could untangle all issues that have arisen in 4e:
1. Some of them, with close allies in the faerunian pantheon had their allies help them by taking temporary stewardship of their portfolios and worshippers. These foolish mortals just missunderstood the situation. No, Sune wasn't Hanali, she just took care of her friend's business until Hanali was fit enough to take matters into her own hands again
2. Some were unfortunate in that faerunian deities exploited their temporary weakness. E.g that's why Bane could subdue the goblin pantheon which normally would be beyond his strength. Now that they have grown strong again they break his hold over them and Bane better keep watch for their revenge
3. Some had neither the fortune of 1. nor the bad luck of 2. and appearingly vanished from the realms for a time (e.g. the missing dwarvish deities). Now they're back
That seems to me like an elegant way to get back on track wihtout having to invalidate what apparently happened in 4e |

3: The two goddesses agreed to alter their dogma to say they are aspects of one another in order to foster their ideal across the barriers of species. Due to the fuzzy nature of godly essence, it could eventually be said they are the same being, but they may also operate individually. This status can also change with time. See Angharradh. |
