Death to all who oppose Cyric. Bow down before his supreme power,
and yield to him the blood of those that do not believe in his supremacy.
Fear and obey those in authority, but slay those that are weak, of good persuasion,
or false prophets. Bring death to those that oppose Cyric's church or make peace,
order, and laws, for only Cyric is the true authority. Break not into open rebellion,
for marching armies move the false deities to action.
Fell one foe at a time and keep all folk afraid, uneasy, and in constant strife.
Any method or means is justified if it brings about the desired end.

Courage isn't the lack of fear but rather believing in and doing what you know is right even though fear is present.

My personal favorite has to be Helm. The strong right arm of Ao. The guardian of the heavens. If any god goes against the will of Ao it will be Helm who takes the trash out. Even the most evil, and most virtuous of the gods tremble in their boots remembering Helm standing immovable at the top of the Celestial Stairways. One of the most visually dramatic events in FR literature.
Just an opinion! |
Think what you've always thought, and you'll be what you've always been. |

Actually, if Cyric had been a god durring the Time of Troubles, he would have lost his divinity just like everyone else and would not have been able to defeat the still divine Helm no matter how powerful a mortal he may have been. And the 4 dietes he slayed were also mortal at that time.
P.S. Helm sucks :oP j/k I just dont like goody goody Im gonna stand infront of you dieties (This includes Paladins/Good Clerics) |

| The Gods in FR books I've read so far don't really have a major hand in day-to-day events of the story. Therefore, the alignment of the character which we favor often influences our choices of favorite gods. Having said this the gods I favour in no particular order are Selune, Cyric and Mielikki. |

Well I've already said who on various other BUT I might as well say who in the official one as well
1 Lolth ( Obviously for controlling the Drow with an Iron fist)
2 Shar ( revenge, bitter, like a slow seeping poison, something to admire)
3 Auril ( Cold and Cruel, How can you not like her?)
4 Umberlee ( AKA The *itch Queen, she must be given thanks lest she drag all down to her watery home)
5 Velsharoon ( Why? Cause he's the only Deity of Magic than not only promotes searching for greater power, but also that he pays no lip service to Midnight, Azuth maybe but not Midnight.)
I'm with Cyric-The-Insane on Death to Mystra! Of course I wouldn't bow to Cyric... FAR too unpredictable for my insane tastes . But all Deities I have chosen are, of course, power hungery... Notice the trend? |
It has to be Certain, the Gods Hate Me. For whatever irrevokable Fate, I have been made the walking Joke. Either that, or Beshaba is overlyfond Of Me.

How is Helm a fool? All I said was I dont like his style of out front battle, like my charectors and everything else I do (Counter Strike especially) I prefer to do things as safe and planned out as possible, and even though I dont agree with Helms logic.. No "fool" could ever become a god so obviously hes not a "fool". Plus he showed his loyalty to Lord Ao and did his task just as he was asked. |

Actually I don't have one favorite and I agree with your list with
the exception of Lawful.I would have to add Tyr.I know he is almost
considered to be a God of paladins but I like him.Also Moradin but he
is a Dwarf God,I know. |

Why do we have two topics on this?
My arm-long list of preferred deities is:
Mystra, Loviatar, Selune, Shar, Sune, Eilistraee, Kiaransalee, Sehanine Moonbow & Ilsensine.(Copied from Cyric's Let's talk about gods, who do you think is cool? topic) |

Actually.. Cyric had the power of two gods during the tiems of trouble..
Because Godsbane was actually mask
and Cyric obviously is justa s pwoerful as a Diety Being able to Match bhaal In a Fight
Helm shouldn't even be considered as a Deity during the times of Trouble anywase Not like he had any Freedom at all
First he Killed mystra "Whome it was Said", he loved..
And its not like he could leave anytime HE HAD TO GUARD THE CELESTIAL GATEWAY I dont Remeber any of his preists Getting their prayers Answered either 
Lets here what you have to say about that! |

Also You said that no fool could become a deity but what about Malor!
Defination Of Fool - One who is deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding.
Although Malar is efficient in Senses He lacks the other two traits.
He lacks the Judgement to recruit allies if he wishes to steal the Portfolio's of other gods.
It is even stated that Malar how enough power to overcome most deities but lacks the knowledge to actually do it |

Ok.. So if what your saying is true, then if Tyr, or Illmater or Torm were sent to guard the Celestial Gateway and they didnt have the time to answer there followers BECAUSE THEY WERE GIVEN A SPECIFIC TASK BY LORD AO HIMSELF then they would be just as big of losers correct? And if Cyric had the power of 2 gods then why didnt he simply kill Helm? Big deal, Cyric was able to match Bhaal in combat. Bane killed him... And Bane is WAY more powerful than Cyric (Though Cyric is cooler) |

According to 3rd addition I would disagree Bane is as powerful as Cyric. Although cyric lacks worshippers Due to the Destruction of His holy City Zhentil Keep, That doesn't help Bane either. Bane was depending on The Zhents for Worshippers as well.
Now Bane And Cyric are Duking it over The protfolios Because they rule over similar Domains. But I think Cyric will win over that BY FAR... Cyric has Mask at his service because Mask read The Cyrinishad.. (Dumby..). But Bane just recently returned so whats another diety?? Cyric killed 3 and has converted another deity to follow his religion.
Now about This whole killing Helm thing.. Uh Don't think So.. I wasn't saying Cyric was stronger then Helm During Times of Trouble.. Cyric was still mortal But could you say Helm was all that much stronger then Cyric???
If Cyric never went to the Celestial Stairway he could rightfully do anything through the realms that directly angered Helm and Helm couldn't do anything.. Helm has no power outside of the task assigned to him..
In conclusion Students, Cyric is Master of all!! |

Ahh most indeed he is...
After The Cyrinishad was read by The Zhent keep leader (who was possesed by mask so mask actually read it) Mask began to belive what it said...
Later on When cyric relised he had not bested Godsbane during the times of trouble, He split the sword in half and in its wake was kelmovore and Mask. Mask then fleed with Cyric out of the City of Strife. Not before pledging his apology for hiding kelmovores soul and for plotting against Cyric.
Also at the very end of the Novel It was said that after Cyric awoke in his newly constructed world he could sense the every thought and prayer of theives and assassins lurking in shadows within Faerun.
Mask for all you Lesser Scribes was the God of intrigue Which and basically the icon for any Rogue. |

Since we are talking about Cyric here, I have to mention that my favourite gods are Cyric and Kelemvor.
Both of these two have the same general portfolio (the whole death thing) and both have less than friendly feelings towards each other. |

I hate kelemvore Almost as much as I hate mystra..
Only reason Cyric is gonna let Kelemvore Live is because he doesn't wanna waste his time with Faithless from the fugue plane..
he is in a much better postition to find The Cyrinishad
Having all assassins at his disposal.

*Sigh* I Doubt they are a good match at all...
Mask although has quite a good Portfolio of Intrigue...
Cyric has more portfolios under his belt as well Cyric is a GREATER POWER and Mask is only a LESSER POWER.
Now for the proof that mask is a pawn of Cyric: (I can't Belive A Fellow Cyricist is Rejecting the truth!)
(Word For Word Of What went on After Gods Bane was Destroyed)
"When the light subsided, a shadow-wrapped figure lay before the Prince Of Lies, its back broken, tears welling in its rose eyes."Ah, mylove,I was fool to betray you."Cyric Dropped the sundered blade "You." The black mask had fallen away from the shadowlords face, revealing features that shifted and warped like the cloak of darkness that hid its form. A soft, feminine visage coarsened into a man's.An aquiline nose blunted into bulbousness, flattened, then narrowed and turned up at the end.Only two features on Mask's face remained constant: the god's glowing red eyes and the pale fangs extruding from his lips."If I had read the Cyrinshad sooner, realized your greatness before it was too late."The shadowlord slumped to the floor. "I never would have kept him (Kelemvor) hidden from you." Mask's form melted away into a pool of darkness, which merged with the Death God's own shadow."
(There you have it.. undeniable Proof Straight from Prince of Lies Novel)
Just To Stay ahead of everyone and to prove my latter statment..
"There was a new kingdom to build. After all, Cyric was still a deity-God of Strife and intrigue, Patron of Murder."
There are other good Quotes I could take proving His New Found Portfolio But I won't waste my time Until you people Say something that deserves more quotes..
WHO HERE THAT LOVES CYRIC PLAYS NEVERWINTER NIGHTS???
