Hello,
I have been trying to collect an ultimate source collection of the Gods of Fury...not the individual members per se (Talos (leader), Auril, Umberlee, Malar), but how Talos actually "leads" them, or dominates them better put (?), and when and were they have ever manifested themselves as a "unit?"
Does any of the sages of candlekeep have additional source to give background and example to where the Gods of Fury do act in unison? Beyond the Sourcebooks? Maybe novels? Maybe articles from Dragon, etc? Was there ever a Gods of Fury jamboree?!? ;-)
My goal here is to acquire insight in how Talos would organize these forces of fury—and chaos!—, and how even servants of the Gods of Fury would organize or congregate.
Cheers.

Thank you everyone for the information and links.
It gives me plenty of resource material to add to the game play. |

If you enjoy "fan fiction", I wrote a non-canon story titled "The Theft of Leaves" which serves to bridge gaps in the transitions of the Gods of Fury from 3e to 4e and from 4e to 5e in the last section (before update notes) of my Silvanus pamphlet on DMsGuild. It's PWYW so you can type 0.00 in the price box to download for free and buy again later if you want to toss a coin to the writer. The story was pieced together with gleanings from a bunch of different sources including novels and splatbooks of different editions.

Maybe a follow up question: is this all Lore for us players/DMs Out of Character, of would the "truth" of this ancient history be available...with Story through the generations, or...all watched over carefully in the stacks at Candlekeep?!
I think it's mostly been lost, however, Illuskans are more likely than most to fear the Gods of Fury and venerate "hero-gods" like Uthgar and Valkur.

You also wouldn't perhaps have insight into the history or workings of the Circle of Rust and the Worm?

Other than what I put in Faiths & Avatars, the only other time I played with them was Under Illefarn Anew. One of the chief antagonists ...

The god stuff should always be taken as a confusing mess of myths and legends. Every geographic region should have it's own variant on well known myths, they should all have different names (or at least different spellings) and nothing should be known for certain.
The impression given that one can talk to the gods and that they will turn up for a coffee and a chat at breakfast time is one of the worst things the novels did for the rpg side of the realms.

Very interesting! Is that thread in a particular part of the Candlekeep forum? |

They briefly got detailed in a 4e-era article on Auril, where she is listed among their number. No real info other than that they all serve Silvanus, and a cryptic shoutout to an event called the Stormstar Requiem that went underdetailed in canon; essentially saying that they had crystalized around revealing that Talos had been an aspect of Gruumsh, who they then cast out. |
