***!!!possible spoiler for BG2!!!***
in BG2, if ur romance becomes cursed with vampirism by Bodhi, when u kill Bodhi, u find those books on vampirism. u end up runnin around doin some stuff but the bottom line is u find out that Amaunator is the cure 2 vampirism. u take the vamps body as well as the heart of the vamp who turned him/her 2 this statue of Amaunator n place the body in the statues arms. n there ya go, the person is unvamped, a normal human again. my ? is: does this apply 2 the reast of the FR world or was this just something made up 4 BG2? r there any records of this happening any other time other than BG2?

| As far as I know it was just something made up for Bg2, it is however a very interesting idea. Amaunator was the Sunlord so it would make sense. I like it, I might even use it seeing as how it isn't really the easy way out since Amaunator's temples or shrines isn't in abundance these days. |

| Who knows, but since Amauanator is technically dead, would placing a vampire in the statues really have an effect outside BG2? |

| Hmmmm well you could say that it would couldn't you? Just say that the statues or shrines themselves are still imbued with a fragment of divine essence, just like Myrkul's Crown of Horns. |

| Actule that place was heavy in his essens since a part of him was there(the child) there was a lot about him in bg2 by the way. And the place was one of the main places for his whorship, and Amauanator was a Netherse god was he not and old spells where used there mabey there is a spell that cures vampirism that is still in work at this place. And that place was a part of his divine essence, since he did need quite a bit of power to keep one of the shadowlords in there prison(it was one of the 7 ancient Shadow lords who serv Shar right, who some how got free from there prison in the limbo i think it was) |

| I'm sure we all agree that there are still traces of divine magic littered throughout the realm, but as while the deity is dead, the power of said spells would start/continue to wane, would it not? |

| Yeah you could say that, but after all, the Crown of Horns hasn't lost any of it's power since Myrkul died, neither do other magical items. Still, I see your point. Guess it's up to the GM really. |
