Do you guys know where I can get information on what Auril was doing or where were she during Time of Troubles?

If I had my choice, I'd recommend that Auril appear in Sossal during the Time of Troubles.

For those that may have missed it when it was first published, here is a link to an article on Auril's planar home: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/dragon/367/367_Realmslore.pdf

I was the one who authored that Realms-L list, way back in the day. Here's my current copy of it, updated to at least the release of Serpent Kingdoms.

Mulhorandi powers:

Anhur: Mulhorand, Alamber Sea (P&P)

Hathor: Unknown
Horus-Re Unknown, but likely in Skuld as Pharaoh Horusep III (implied in P&P)

Thoth: Unknown

Untheric powers:

Gilgeam: Unthalass (P&P)
Ramman: Unther (P&P (under Hoar))
Tiamat: Unther, Unthalass (P&P)

Demihuman Powers: (as most demihuman avatars' locations haven't been revealed, having been mostly ignored in the core ToT products, only those with known locations are listed. There is plenty of room for speculation here)

Ghaunadaur: Perhaps Llurth Dreir (Underdark below the northern Shaar) (Underdark) (although it is not stated exactly when his avatar appeared there, so that manifestation might be from a different date)

Lolth: Menzoberranzan (Seige of Darkness)
Selvertarm: Eryndlyn (Underdark below the High Moor) (DD)
Clangeddin Silverbeard: Rauthym (FR Comic)
Deep Duerra: Dunspierrin (Underspires), Southern Underdark (DD)
Labelas Enorath: Rauthym (FR Comic)
Segojan Earthcaller: Hardbuckler (DD)
Urdlen: Hardbuckler (DD)

Monstrous powers: (same deal as with the demihuman powers)

Sekolah: Alamber Sea (P&P (under Anhur))
Ilsensine: Oryndoll (Underdark under the Shining Plains) (DDGttU)

(While the demihuman powers have been only lightly covered, the dozens of monstrous deities have been truly passed over. While in some cases this is understandable, surely the draconic and giant avatars should have been VERY noticeable! There's even more room for speculation than with the demihumans)

Notes:
1. The elemental powers (Akadi, Grumbar, Ishtishia, and Kossuth) weren't seen in the Realms according to F&A. However, Serpent Kingdoms has since contradicted this by saying Kossuth was indeed seen in the Burning Rift under the Peaks of Flame. Perhaps for the other three cases, it may just be that they weren't noticed, being basically invisible in their elements (an avatar made of water would be unnoticeable in a large ocean after all).
2. Four powers had locations listed in the current list on the "Best" web page that are incorrect. Auril's avatar isn't mentioned in FR14, Ilmater is mentioned on page 23 of FR9, but only as one of the gods revered in Damara, not as an avatar, and neither Leira's or Loviatar's locations are mentioned in FRA.
3. Song of the Saurials takes place in 1358, right after the ToT. Therefore, Moander was still alive during the ToT, and Finder had yet to ascend to godhood. Moander's and Finder's locations during the ToT are unknown, but as Song of the Saurials takes place only a short time afterwards (the ToT ended on 15 Marpenoth, and, according to F&P, Finder ascended to godhood on 20 Marpenoth), Finder was presumably in prison awaiting trial and Moander was probably bringing the saurials to the Lost Dale.

Here is the pdf with a copy of the list if you wish, but as far as I can tell, hashimashadoo is correct. Auril isn't mentioned in FR14.
Ateth Istarlin Posted - 15 Jun 2014 : 22:06:39
Yes, that was where I read it.
hashimashadoo Posted - 15 Jun 2014 : 17:05:15
There's a list of where every FR god was during the ToT. I first heard of it in the Realms-L archives but can't find the original, just reproductions. Some say the list was authored by Eric Boyd but he has neither confirmed or denied this rumour. This list says that Auril appeared at the Great Glacier and claims FR14 as its source but Auril is only mentioned once in that book and the mention is nothing to do with the ToT. This site also claims locations for Tyr (Neverwinter), Ilmater (Damara), Loviatar and Leira but, like Auril, none of these gods are confirmed ANYWHERE as having appeared during the ToT.

Do you remember where did you read it?
Ateth Istarlin Posted - 14 Jun 2014 : 07:55:19
I seem to remember reading that she appeared on the great glacier.
