I've been working on my homebrew FR campaign for a while(albeit very slowly, given my wandering mind...) and I figured posting parts of it here would help me further flesh out the beloved little abomination I've stitched together.
Questions & comments are welcome, of course, as my answers to these will help me put my jumbled thoughts and ideas in order.
I'll start with the Torilian(i.e. human) Pantheon.
FORMAT
Deity name
Alignment & Status
Worshiper alignments allowed / Clergy alignments allowed
Portfolio
The how & why of that deity's changes
AMAUNATOR
LN Greater God(stable)
W:Any / C:Any lawful
Portfolio: Sun, day(esp. noon) time, law(alignment), fire, social order(the status quo), bureaucracy, order, changelessness.
Split from Lathander during the Spellplague. Faith encouraged & backed in many nations of Kara-Tur.
ANACHTYR
LG Lesser God(rising fast)
W:LG,LN,NG / C:LG,LN
Portfolio: Justice, Law(criminal), Temperance(the virtue).
Tyr Lost much influence as the Dark Decades(a long period of mass humanoid invasions that started shortly after the Spellplague ended) swept over Toril, but remained influential in Calimshan, where his church was instrumental in restoring order after the genasi-led uprising toppled the old regime.
ANHUR
CN Intermediate God(stable)
W:Any / C:Any
Portfolio: Sand, deserts & wastelands, desert survival, desert dwellers.
The death of his pantheon, left Anhur a dispirited, broken deity. In his wanderings he fought and absorbed several deities and minor spirits of the wastelands, and found renewed purpose and vigor in the hardy people who inhabit the scorched deserts of Toril. His faith is especially prominent in Zakhara.
AOSKAR
N Demiod(stable)
W:Any / C:Any
Portfolio: Portals, teleportation magic.
Freed/revived shortly after the Spellplague started. Opened many portals to Abeir and the planes, leading to great migrations from those planes to Realmspace. Serves Azuth.
AUPPENSER
N Greater God(stable)
W:Any / C:Any
Portfolio: Thought, Knowledge, wisdom, psionics(patron, not its source), serenity, enlightenment, introspection, philosophy, self-perfection.
Awoke during the spellplague. Preeminent faith of Mahasarpa.
AURIL
N Intermediate Goddess(stable)
W:Any / C:Any
Portfolio: Cold, winter, snow, ice, glaciers, icebergs, polar environments, Arctic survival, arctic dwellers.
Not much, aside from the change in alignment.
AZUTH
LN Intermediate God(stable)
W:Any / C:LG,LN,LE,N,CN
Portfolio: Arcane spellcasting(methodology), arcane spellcasters, caster sigils, the spread of arcane magic use, wise & cautious use of magic, wizards, wizardry, mages.
Took on some of Mystra's duties as she became more distant.
More to come soon. |

Here's a small sample of the undead powers that serve under Velsharoon. The Lord of Undeath has a very "hands off" approach to rulership, but keeps most of his underlings at demigodhood.
DORESAIN
CE Demigod(stable)
W:Any evil / C:Any Evil
Ghouls, Flesh undead(such as Zombies).
NC.
KANCHELSIS
CE Demigod(stable)
W:Any nongood / C:CE,NE,LE,CN
Portfolio: Vampirism, Blood undead(Such as Red Mists).
NC.
KIARANSALEE
CE Lesser Goddess(stable)
Portfolio(only shows the portfolios she has among the Faerunian Pantheon): Spectral undead (such as banshees, ghosts, etc...), disproportionate revenge.
Velsharoon brought her back to (un)life. She has become his(willing) consort.
MELLIFLEUR
NE Demigod(stable)
W:Any nongood / C:Any Evil
Portfolio: Lichdom, Bone undead (such as skeletons).
Velsharoon's chief advisor, as the two deities see eye to eye on almost all matters.
Edit: Oh yeah, I almost forgot:
MYRKUL
NE Exarch(one of two types of quasideities)(independent)
Although the Spellplague did not affect most magic items, intelligent magic items were under the same risks as arcane casters.
To escape this, Myrkul, as the Crown of Horns, spent the 10 years of the Spellplague atop Velsharoon's head, imparting to him every secret of undeath and necromancy Myrkul knew. To reward him, Velsharoon rewarded Myrkul with an exarch body he could put himself on and control when fancy struck him.
Velsharoon has no means of controlling Myrkul or the body he gifted the former god, and has never intended to; Myrkul, by its very existence and actions, advances Velsharoon's portfolio.
Although exarchs have no worshipers, their names are often lent to organizations within their patron god's church. The Order of Myrkul consists of the elite of the necromantic world, some of the most powerful black necromancers, priests of undeath, and undead beings on the face of Faerun. They have no unifying goals, functioning more as a social club for the necromantic elite(many Twisted Rune constituents are members). |

The Primordial Powers are something of an enigma. They do not seem to be beholden to any of the rules Ao imposes on the gods of Realmspace. Aside from Kossuth, none of them has ever had more than a cult-like following(until recently), but they are Greater Powers nonetheless and none of them was forced to walk Faerun in avatar form during the Time of Troubles(Kossuth did send an avatar, but of his own will and suffering none of the restrictions imposed on the other gods.)
The merging of the Elemental Planes with other planes during the Spellplague does not seem to have bothered them the slightest bit. They are very distant and, for all intents and purposes, utterly uninterested in the activities of mortals(even the doings of their own churches.)
AKADI
N Greater Goddess(Overgoddess in the Elemental Chaos)
W:Any / C:Any
Portfolio: Air, elemental air, air elementalists.
No comments.
GRUMBAR
N Greater God(Overgod in the Elemental Chaos)
W:Any / C:Any
Portfolio: Earth, elemental earth, earth elementalists.
NC.
ISTISHIA
N Greater God(Overgod in the Elemental Chaos)
W:Any / C:Any
Portfolio: Water, elemental water, water elementalists.
NC.
KOSSUTH
N Greater God(Overgod in the Elemental Chaos)
W:Any / C:Any
Portfolio: Fire,elemental fire,fire elementalists.
All but abandoned his Thayan worshipers during the Spellplague(coinciding exactly with the eruption of the Thaymount and the migration of the Firenewt race(in its entirety) to the Elemental Chaos.)
Last, but not least...
EREBUS
NE Greater God(Overgod outside the spheres)
W:Any / C:Any Evil(no known clergy in Realmspace)
Portfolio: The void between the spheres, black holes.
On a dark night in 1386 DR, a seer, Aelebeth Irabella, known by her fellow Divinators(priests of Savras) as a quiet, seldom-fazed young thing, Woke precipitately and hurried out of Tashluta's House of the All-Seeing Orb, awed panic evident in every breath she took. those Divinators who were still awake and witnessed this unusual sight followed her out, where she was gazing up at the night sky.
Following her gaze, the priests saw dozens of small explosions briefly light the night sky(spelljammers exploding all around Toril's orbit.) One senior priestess, who sought to interrogate the young girl, was met with eyes turned purest black and the awed, terrified whisper of the girl's voice:
Dweomered pestilence ripples through emptiness,
spurred by Baator's wounded serpent.
From slumber the Void Between the Stars wakes,
darkness falling silent where its gaze wanders.
The girl fell into a feverish and fitful sleep, rambling throughout. She never awoke, dying exactly 24 hours after her original utterance(the attending priest noticed a faint smell of brimstone in the room when Aelebeth drew her last breath.)
The Divinators scrupulously recorded every mad rambling uttered by the girl, and these constitute the only knowledge mortals have of Erebus.
The devastation Erebus' attention wreaks is not due to any active malice on his part, but is merely a part of his very nature. He is supremely indifferent, and so feels no need to act, knowing that time will ensure his eventual reclaiming of all that is, was, and ever will be. |

I'm back!
Sorry for the long silence. Short explanation: new job.
-----CHULTAN PANTHEON-----
Ubtao (and his shadow, Eshowdow) is worshiped exclusively on the island of Chult, over which his dominion is absolute.
ESHOWDOW
NE Demigod(stable)
W:Any evil / C:Any evil
Portfolio: The Eshowe people, shadows, destruction, revenge, cowardice, ignominy, fear.
The renewal of the ancient pact granting Ubtao dominion over Chult forced Shar to resurrect Eshowdow in order to maintain influence in Chult. Eshowdow serves Shar, but the experience of having been slain and subsumed by the goddess left him unhinged. Unknown to his mistress, he seeks to break Dendar's shackles and in doing so bring about Realmspace's oblivion.
UBTAO
N Greater God(stable)
W:Any / C:Any
Portfolio: Chult, dinosaurs, the labyrinth of life, the Tabaxi.
No change, aside from ordering the abandonment of Mezro and the migration of its people to an unknown destination inland.
More later. |

Gambit: Nice work!
Wooly: I love the drunken oaf too! I might make him a demigod under Lliira.
ClericGeneric: Thank you, without the portfolio of insanity, Cyric has become a lot less deluded and much, much more dangerous. When the Faerunian pantheon extended its hegemony over the whole of Toril's mankind, the situation in T'u Lung alone catapulted Gargauth to the rank of Lesser Deity. |
| Cleric Generic |
Posted - 29 Mar 2010 : 13:12:26
Hey! Nice work there Hadozee. I especially like how Cyric has rented out bits of his portfolio while he's doing his Hannibal Lecter impression and pulling the renters strings in the process. Also digging how Chauntea is the mother, in some fashion, of some of the earthy/natury deities. Aaand also feeling the love for my boy Gargauth; The Bane connection is pretty cool, as in my current game he's co-opted a branch of the Banite inquisition and doing his devilish thing.
Looking forward to further awesome!

That's a lot of why I like that deity so much. It's almost goofy, that backstory!  |

I have an NPC that's a former character I played, and that I decided to port into the Realms. Cayden Cailean is a much better fit for him as a patron deity than any of the deities of the Realms!

ULUTIU
N Lesser God(rising)
W:Any / C:Any nonevil
Portfolio: Sleep, dreams, slumber, rest, comfort, hibernation, somnolence, sloth(sin), leisure, relaxation.
Awoke during the Spellplague. Stumbled upon and subsumed the slumbering yuan-ti deity Merrshaulk, an aspect of Sseth which he'd accidentally rejected upon snapping out from his waking nightmare(during which he slew the Mulhorandi pantheon). Ulutiu subsequently bequeathed his old portfolio to Auril and went about consolidating his new one(in between naps, of course).
UMBERLEE
CN Intermediate Goddess(stable)
W:Any / C:Any nonlawful
Portfolio: Oceans, saltwater, currents & waves(at sea), saltwater seas.
Slight changes in alignment and portfolio. The seas are calmer now, and curious and intrepid sailors are setting out to map their unknown corners.

Significant changes. Like Valkur, he no longer serves Tempus.

Then, onward to the demihuman pantheons! |

More.

MASK
NE Intermediate God(stable)
W:Any except LG / C:Any nongood
Portfolio: Shadows, secrets, intrigue, thieves, thievery, stealth, silence.
Took back intrigue from Cyric, AND stole secrets from Shar. Shar would have slain her son long ago, if not for his father, Erebus(more on him in the primeval powers section later.)
MIDNIGHT
NG Lesser Goddess(stable)
W:Any nonevil / C:Any nonevil
Portfolio: Lost & restless Souls, nonevil shadowcasters, white necromancy.
My FR's Raven Queen. The Spellplague proved too much for midnight. As memories and knowledge for which her still-too-mortal mind was not yet ready assailed her, she had to forcibly reject the mantle of the goddess of magic. She would have died if not for the intervention of Kelemvor, who bestowed upon her the portfolio of a demigoddess that long ago had served the god of the dead.
If you want to know what kind of work the "lost & restless souls" part of her portfolio entails, check out this manga(warning: NSFW!) Even if you're not a fan of the medium, you might like it(no Bambi eyes or super-deformed art, for one thing).
MIELIKKI
NG Intermediate Goddess
W:Any(seldom evil) / C:Any nonevil
Portfolio: Forests, forest survival, forest dwellers, autumn, marksmanship, half-elves, rangers.
A few changes, but she remains much the same.
MILIL

Portfolio: Music, poetry, song.
Again, no change.
MURDANE

W:Any / C:Any(seldom chaotic)

Resurrected by Auppenser, whom she serves under.
MYSTRA
N Greater Goddess
W:Any / C:Any
Portfolio: The Weave, magic(esp. arcane), spells, spellfire, the spellscarred, repairing the weave.
When Midnight rejected her divine mantle, she passed it on to her Abeiran counterpart, a cold, distant aspect of Mystril(more on the divine and Lost Abeir later).
More later. |
| DrunkenHadozee |
Posted - 24 Mar 2010 : 00:03:03
Back with more.
GARAGOS
CE Lesser God(stable)
W:Any Evil / C:CE
Portfolio: Rage, bloodlust, berserkers, pillage, war crimes(includes rape[squick]), reavers, plunder, pirates.
Finally went off the deep end after Cyric gave him the portfolio of rage(for two reasons: so he wouldn't be blinded by this extreme subset of hatred, and to gain some control over Garagos)
GARGAUTH
LE Lesser God(stable)
W:LE,NE,LN / C:LE,NE,LN
Portfolio: Betrayal, treachery, cruelty, corruption, scheming, political corruption, ill-council, self-serving advisers, political puppetmasters, powerbrokers, powermongers, traitors.
Not much change. Serves Bane.

Nonevil worshippers and clergy primarily worship his hunger, thirst, and gluttony aspects.
GOND
N Intermediate God(rising)
W:Any / C;Any
Portfolio: Invention, artifice, crafting, construction, smithing, engineering.
Acquired the portfolio of invention from Oghma. No longer has the alias of Nebelun, as that god has arrived in Faerun with a few other gnome deities(the two get along greatly, however, and their churches often share the same buildings in Lantan.)
GWAERON
NG Demigod(rising)
W:Any nonevil / C:Any nonevil
Portfolio: Tracking, bounty hunters.
Now serves Anachtyr. Some (unproven)rumors have surfaced that the church has among its adherents a branch of nonevil assassins who bring justice(by order of the highest-ranking priests of Anachtyr) to those guilty mortals whose social or monetary status make them believe they are above the law.
HELM
LN Intermediate God(falling)
W:Any nonevil / C:LN,LG,N
Portfolio: Protection, protectors, guardians, oaths, fortifications, defenses, guards, watchfulness, honor, prisons, diligence, vigilance.
Was briefly elevated to the status of a greater god during the Dark Decades.
HOAR
LN Lesser God(stable)
W:Any nonchaotic / C:Any lawful
Portfolio: Revenge, retribution, poetic justice.
Same old, same old.
IBRANDUL
N Intermediate God(stable)
W:Any / C:Any
The Underdark, caverns, dungeons, mines, miners, spelunking.
Resurrected by his mother, Chauntea(long story short, Chauntea has 5 children: Auril, Eldath, Ibrandul, Talos, and Umberlee.) As Shar tried to intervene when it became apparent Cyric would not succeed in murdering Mystra, she was met by Chauntea, who manged to take back her son's portfolio in the process.
ILMATER
LG Intermediate God(stable)
W:Any / C:LG,NG,CG,LN
Portfolio: Healing, charity, endurance, relief, martyrdom, perseverance, suffering, patience(virtue), humility(virtue).
Like Helm, he briefly attained greater god status as the misery reaped during the Dark Decades drove people to his church's doorstep for help. |

Posted - 22 Mar 2010 : 18:15:51
BANE
LE Greater God(stable)

Portfolio: Bad luck, defeat, misfortune, accidents, cheating.
Has CN tendencies, which come from having swapped some of her divine essence with Tymora.
BHAAL
LE Intermediate God(stable)
W:Any nongood / C:Any evil
Portfolio: Murder, slaughter, assassination.
Resurrected by a Kozakuran bhaalspawn at Boareskyr Bridge in 1485 DR(She was guided there by visions from Mask, who did so in order to weaken Cyric).
CHAUNTEA
NG Greater Goddess(stable)
W:Any nonevil / C:Any nonevil
Portfolio: Life, Abeir-Toril, mankind, agriculture, "tamed" nature, farmers, gardeners, summer, harvest, motherhood, the home, family.
Nothing to say.

EMDAESS
NG Demigoddess(rising)
W:Any / C:Any nonevil
Portfolio: Purification, redemption from evil, peace, pacifism, nonviolence, diplomacy.
