The Church of Auril really use Fire within his rituals ? I cannot understand why they use one of their foe.
It could simply be that the Fire and Ice rituals are designed to reflect Auril's Will and the dominance of cold and ice, even when exposed to heat and/or fire. The rituals could be used to demonstrate the mortal application of Auril's dogma, which directs her priesthood to "quench fire wherever it is found."

And the last one (at the moment) :
Do we know something about the silver circlet that priests always wear on the head ?
Other than it being the final touch to their priestly vestments? No. I have speculated in the past, that the priestly circlet itself could be a derived designed based on the "ornate crown" said to be worn by Auril's 'Icedawn' manifestation however.

I thought to Mystra but I really do not want you to follow her way of... "(un)life". Really 
one thousandth of billionth Thanks The Sage !
In MY Realms, Mystra will not die, so I wouldn't mind representing her. |

Better than Candlekeep with a see-through Rino. Now Candlekeep with Rino in something see-through...  (runs for cover). |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
