Prince Forge of Avalon Posted - 30 Mar 2004 : 00:55:05
I'm starting this thread in the hopes that Aluando will sticky this at the top, and allow us to ask questions to our FR designers such as: Steven Schend, George Krashos, Eric Boyd, etc.
As Ed has mentioned many times, the FR's are a shared world and these fine people have helped to build the most comprehensive gaming world out there.
So to all the FR game designers let me first say Thank you for your time and effort in building this wonderful world.
And let the questions begin......................

I know Bane's symbol changed to incorporate some of Xvim's color scheme after he was resurrected, so maybe the resurgent Bhaal mixed his up too upon his return. The In Store cover version of BG DIA and Murder in Baldur's Gate also show blood versions of the symbol and not as the whole thing painted in blood instead ofntear drops as well.

The main question for Bhaal's current alignment would be relevant for his clerics since at least for 3e they had to be within one alignment of their deity unless you took the Heretic of the Faith feat and I'm not even sure what the fallout for old clerics that no longer fit that requirement would be if the deity himself changed. I guess they would all just gain the feat as a bonus one since he would presumably still grant them spells?
TomCosta Posted - 12 Mar 2021 : 23:01:02
My take is these things are somewhat mutable. Why does a god have to have only one holy symbol? Modern faiths don't necessarily have just one. Christians have the cross and the fish among others, for example. That said, SCAG has the standard symbol, its just all painted inred and the back cover of Descent has the "old" symbol of the skull surrounded by blood droplets.

As for his divine realm, things clearly move around a bit and may coexist in multiple planes at once. I would consider the video game to be authoritative, so Gehenna. That said, Bhaal seemingly died and his husk went to the Astral Sea to float for eternity until it wasn't anymore. And that said, new generally trumps old, and there is clearly more to the story of what's going on with the Dead Three in Descent then we have seen. I'm intrigued because as currently written it makes little sense to me, but I think the general quality of the 5E stuff (while often more lore light than 2E or 3E) is pretty good. One more note, Cyric was for a time the chaotic evil god of murder and held the portfolio's of all the Dead Three, but is now seemingly stilled trapped following the murder of Mystra. Perhaps there's a hint in there.
Wooly Rupert Posted - 12 Mar 2021 : 04:17:44
I, personally, consider the 3 godbooks of 2E to be the definitive references on all things divine.
Child of Bhaal Posted - 12 Mar 2021 : 02:50:14
I have two questions:

What is the actual holy symbol of Bhaal? Between editions the drops around the skull swap between tear drops and drops of blood. Did his symbol actually change, or was this an error?

"A white, face-on human skull surrounded by a counter-clockwise orbit of many streaming teardrops." - Faiths and Avatars pg 45

Blood drops shown in artwork for Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide pg 27

Blood drops shown in Murder in Baldur's Gate Campaign Guide pg 33

Blood drops shown on Baldur's Gate Descent into Avernus cover.


What is Bhaal's alignment and where is his divine realm due to this? Did it change when he was resurrected?

Baldur's Gate 2 computer game - Lawful evil, divine realm in the Nine Hells.

Faiths and Avatars pg 44 - Lawful Evil, but divine realm is in Gehenna

Lost Empires of Faerun pg 41 - Lawful Evil, not listed where his divine realm would be, but non-existent at this time.

Baldur's Gate Descent into Avernus pg 22 - "This door bears a carving of Bhaal, the chaotic evil god of Murder." Presumably his divine realm must be in the Abyss then.


I guess a third minor question would be is there a Level Adjustment to go with the Chosen of Bhaal template from the Murder in Baldur's Gate Web Enhancement since it isn't listed.

The question for your campaign is whether to go with Ghaunadauar or Gargauth, who is trying to steal the Gormauth aspect.

Aw man..

Wait- so the entry in CoS:W was a mixup of all mixups that makes sense. But what about Ghaunadaur's original list of allies and enemies? Was Gargauth intentionally submitted as his enemy? Why?

Holy crap.. I'm going to need to take some serious time to re-calibrate my realms. Er, your realms.
Gosh, this forum is magical! There is no better feeling than the clarification of miscommunication. ^-^ A Christmas miracle indeed. Now I get to research Garagos and endlessly dissect this entire conversation.



Garagos is fun. In my campaign, Tempus had finally had enough of that little annoyance so he worked with the Red Knight to come up with a plan to have a mortal take his place and morph the portfolio into something more his liking (like what happened with Moander).


^_^' This is all for making my party's Ghaunadaur Warlock (5e, OOTA) have a fantastical set of scenarios available to them. So, if this means Gargauth has nothing to do with Ghaunadaur, so be it. I'm just glad to start learning a bit more about that Souldrinker title, or at least how to apply it. I'm still in the dark with how to interpret this miscommunication for my research, but I'll have time to digest it all soon enough.
This is the Elemental Eye miscommunication all over again.. Ghaunadaur's publishing history cannot catch a break it seems.

Well, if I really wanted to play with your head, I'd tell you that the "Gargauth" reference in CoS:W was not the deity that Eric Boyd submitted in his pre-edit turnover. But I wouldn't do that to you.

I'm thinking on the idea that Gormauth Souldrinker was once a separate entity, maybe serving one power, but then subsumed by the other.

It's not Ghaunadaur's Garden, it's G'duar's Garden. I'm not sure what your question is really asking, but it's an adventure site. Who or what G'duar is and his connection - if any - with Ghaunadaur have never been revealed.

Gormauth Souldrinker was listed as an alias of Ghaunadaur in "Drow of the Underdark" (2E). Where that alias arose and where it was used have never been explored in published Realmslore.

As for G's Garden, does something really count as an adventure location when all that is said about it is a name? Which in my opinion must have been shortened to fit the map it was published in somehow. There is a small colored section of a massive map only explained as a "chasm" and nothing else. The Pit of Jhaam and the Garden appear nowhere in the very book that they debut in. I just wonder if there is unfulfilled storytelling that was created and scrapped some time in development of that Underdark 3rd edition book. It seems that the map must have been made early on, and these two points of interest were cut for space in the book. Someone wrote them in and must have had at least a paragraph about one or both of them, and I wonder if anyone who worked on it remembers. As for Ghaunadaur and Gargauth, the fact that Gargauth is listed as an enemy with no explanation had gripped me all year, especially with the instance in City of Splendor.

EDIT: Oh come on, I swore I ctrl f'd this page months ago! (Details on the adventure site of Gdaur's garden) I think I must have blended my memories of Gdaur's Garden with my more hopeless research on the Pit of Jhaam. You always have to be ready to humble yourself and correct mistakes, as always.
https://www.realmshelps.net/faerun/underdark/dungeons.shtml

Thank you for helping me double check my research, Gdaur's garden *is* described and mapped. Time to correct some mental notes..
Still hyper sus of Gargauth and Gormauth Souldrinker and the Pit of Jhaam.

Learned Scribe Returnip,

Hopefully we'll find out. I sent an email seeking that information. Here's to hoping we get a really great and interesting response. Probably after the holidays though if one comes.

Best regards,





Returnip Posted - 14 Dec 2020 : 18:50:48
This question might be for Gwendolyn F.M. Kestrel, but if anyone else is in the know I'd be happy for the information no matter the source.

I have tried to figure this out, but I give up:

What and where is Cantlowe Library Archive? :)

If you can't say, please at least tell me if I'm close in my speculations here:

Jakk Posted - 08 Nov 2008 : 23:21:04
Agreed... I was just amused by the coincidence of the placement of the blurb in the GHotR.

On another note: I wasn't sure where to ask this question after getting my response from Brian James, so I'll post it here:

Originally posted by Jakk

Brian, my question is related to the GHotR: What is going to happen to the NDAs on all that (presumably now obsolete) pre-Spellplague lore if DDi is concentrating on post-Spellplague content? My focus here is on the Cormyr royal/noble lineage document that I understand is in the care of Brian "Garen Thal" Cortijo. I've been driving him crazy with questions for a couple of weeks now, and my inquiries on your Feedback scroll and on the WotC site (where I am known as FrustratedRealmsFan) have not stimulated a reply as yet. I would like to see pre-Spellplague lore under obsolete NDAs (such as the Ironfang Keep material that you did such a great job with) released in download form on the Wizards website, and I would be willing to pay for such pre-Spellplague lore on a per-download basis; making it available through DDi will simply cause me to lose interest in the lore, rather than think about subscribing to DDi. Besides which, it is my understanding that DDi is concentrating its Realms focus on post-Spellplague (or at least post-1385) lore, and I have no interest in canonical lore from that time period. There is money to be made by Wizards in the old lore, and such old lore is one of two ways that it will be my money; the other way, of course, is a Realms reset to 1375 or earlier, but that's not happening in my lifetime, I suspect. Hopefully this material will come to light soon, one way or another... and by "light" I don't mean open flame...

Originally posted by Brian R. James

Jakk, as a freelance designer I have no power to overturn NDAs I'm afraid. Except under very special circumstances it's unlikely you'll see any articles which focus on the previous era. Having said that, I try to include as much edition neutral lore as possible in my articles. That's the best I can offer under the current circumstances.

Thanks for the quick response anyway. I'm not really looking for any "new" material; I would just like to see the previously-written stuff get released; I'm happy with downloadable text files, even, although I'm happier to pay for it if it's in a nicely-formatted Word or PDF document.



All I really want is some tasty, well-seasoned (pre-Spellplague), substantial lore (preferably about Cormyr and/or the High Forest, but in particular the Royal Lineage of Cormyr) that doesn't involve DDi.

And, remember also, that the aforementioned 161 DR dating was considered part of the largely flawed Netheril timeline. Thus, I wouldn't put much stock in that year reference either.
Wooly Rupert Posted - 07 Nov 2008 : 14:51:07
If I remember correctly, I was told that the placement of that blurb in the Grand History was not an indicator of when the event happened.

That blurb was a grand disappointment for me, since -- as it is already well-established -- I've never been satisfied with the official line on why it can't be pinned down.

I'm curious, though, about the bit you and Eric omitted. Can (or will) you say when it was? Failing that, can you at least say if it happened in that brief timespan (700DR-712 or 714DR) that I think is the right time?



Wooly: I don't know about the missing bit referred to by George, but the range you're citing is the time frame I would use, from my readings of the Realmslore. I'd like to get the conflicting time frames for the DC all assembled into one place with citations; I don't have any of my pre-3E lore to reference right now, or I'd happily do the early lookups myself. I don't recall any conflicts within 3E material for the date. The 161DR date referenced by The Sage is clearly but it's interesting that the sidebar referring to the DC in the GHotR (page 64) refers to a tome written in DR 760 (which is consistent) but is placed within the GH near DR 161 (DR 163 is at the top of the facing page; nothing at all is noted for DR 161 itself). That in itself is enough to make one stop and

Well, I know that not everyone shares my opinion on the matter, but it seems to me that the line about the schism in Tyche's church on page 264 pretty much nails down the time. I know that mortals aren't going to know when exactly something happened, but I also find it unlikely that after Tyche's split, the luck sisters would have continued granting spells in her name. I think it's only logical that they'd very quickly start granting spells under their own names.

The blurb on page 264 says the schism in the church happened in 8th century DR. And since we had been told, more than once before, that the Dawn Cataclysm presaged the fall of Myth Drannor, that gives a very narrow timespan for that schism.

George Krashos Posted - 07 Nov 2008 : 01:22:42
They tried to date the DC in the FRCS 3E timeline. Eric and I got rid of it. The reason for that decision was that the realmslore sources were in conflict over the date and difficult to reconcile (being spread over the better part of 8 or so centuries) and mainly because the DC was a purely immortal event - that is, it had no human input other than mortals at some stage realising that there had been godly changes and shifts/movements.

Given Ed's attitude to matters relating solely to the gods (simply put, humans can never, ever know with exactitude what is, has or might happen to the gods save only if it impacts upon the mortal world directly - ala the Time of Troubles) we thought that keeping the event in the godly realms allowed DMs flexibility to state where and when the effects of the DC were visited upon Faerūn.

In other words, Neverwinter might have gone on to worship Tyche for centuries before they decided that 'she' was gone. Followers of Lathander in Halruaa might have preached 'a time of change' centuries after the DC actually happened in godly time when they got wind of what might be happening while their brethren in Impiltur may have gone through the same religious revelation a few hundred years before them, etc. etc.

We do know that Murdane was killed during this event, and it was also around this time that the division of Tyche occured -- resulting in the creation of both Tymora and Beshaba. However, it's been said that this division had little to do with the actual Dawn Cataclysm.

As for when, that's largely unknown as well. Based on some *facts* however, various possible dates have been thrown into the debate. It was dated once [161 DR], in a poster handed out a GenCon -- the seriously flawed [and now largely ignored] "Netheril Timeline" handout as I recall. Another possibility suggests that it occured somewhere between 700 DR and 712 DR.

A third option, and the one I'm currently leaning toward, is the theory put forth by Eric Boyd. He first suggested that the Dawn Cataclysm happened outside the timestream and, thus, cannot be properly dated.




Outside the timestream would make sense... but then, if that's the case, why don't we have both Lathander and Amaunator around all the time, along with this mysterious dusk god? That's the way I've gone in my Realms; all three coexist, and I gave Cyric the dusk aspect to legitimize his "Dark Sun" title. The assignment is at least symbolically appropriate, I think.

Edit: Just to refresh; this might have gotten lost in my frenzy of follow-up posts:

After all that, I *do* have a question. I'm looking for more information on House Dhuurniv, in particular more precise dates for Laele Dhuurniv's tenure as matron mother and other events discussed on page 82 of Shadowdale: tSotL. I'm assuming that one of the authors is the best person to ask, and I know Richard and Eric are pestered frequently in these scrolls, so I'll contribute to the pestering, if they don't mind...
