Yes, I recall that being mentioned by some other scribes. Good company that produced this work based on my dealings with them. |

I've been chasing this tome down myself, ever since Kuje first mentioned it to me. What is it's exact name though? Is it published by Bastion Press? In what year?

The Following Domains in the Complete Divine havent been assigned to any FR deities (BOVD and BOED where realmisifed in the PGTF) Which Deitied do you think should have these Domains
My Picks
Celerity: No idea
Competition: Lathander
Creation: Lathander
Domination: Bane (Does dovetail nicely if you take the Tyranny Domain)
Dream: No idea
Force: No idea
Inquisition: Maybe Bane?
Liberation: No idea
Madness: Cyric? (Although hes no longer Mad)
Mind: Mind Flayer Deity (Starts with I) and Deep Duerra
Mysticism: No idea
Oracle: Savras
Pact: No idea
Pestilince: Talona and Yurtus
Purification: Gods with Paladins
Summoner: No idea
Weather: Talos, Umberlee, Auril
Amaunator (now either dead or living under an assumed name) was the god of bureacrats and contracts, so he is a natural for that. Since "Inquisition" has very bad connotations, I would assign it to Gargauth. Gargauth might fancy the ideas of Pact, too, although it his nature to promote many agreements and then violate any of them when it is most advantageous to do so.
A truly fair judge for Inquisition would be Hoar, who punishes wrongdoers, but is more merciful than Faerun's Tyr or Talos; as it says, his dogma teaches his clerics to follow the spirit of the law, not the letter, although someone with a jaundiced view of what lawmakers intended may decide that punishing someone who hasn't broken the letter of the law but who has violated its spirit, is fair game for some poetic comeuppance., something Tyr would not tolerate.
Gargauth is a very fickle god for contracts, to be sure, but fickleness is common among deities. (Witness Sune & Adon, Cyric's generally sociopathic behavior toward his followers, Bhaal's dogma that he may be bought off from fulfilling his godly function, which included Death, and Tymora's distribution of good luck and bad luck.)
Another good choice for Pact (which he would undoubtedly politely decline) would be Jergal, who keeps the books for Lord of the Dead.
Force seems to be just a subset of Magic, so it fall entirely within Mstra's purview.
I disagree on your choice for Creation. That should belong to Chauntea, I think.
Celerity ought to be a domain of both Shaundakul, The Rider on the Winds, and Valkur, The Mighty Captain of the Waves. |

Khorne, be sure to keep your eyes out for the Candlekeep Compendium #2. There might be something inside that you will find interesting...  .

What I would think would work:
Celerity is mostly a combat/movement domain that benefits Dexterity fighters and thieves, as well as gods that represent traveling.
Celerity: Shaundakul, Set, Eilistraee, Sharindlar, Erevan Ilesere, Baravar Cloakshadow, Arvoreen, Shargaas.
Community: The CD gives the Community Domain to the leaders of all the non-human pantheons, except, oddly, for Moradin. I think they might have dropped the ball on this one, considering that they “expanded” the gods for the core game in the “Races Of…”
line. However, since this is the FR gods, I’ll adjust the list. The domain itself is a nice mix of “diplomatic” spells that serve adventurers as well as community priests.
Community: Ilnater, Hathor, Berronar Truesilver, Angharradh, Garl Glittergold, Yondalla.
Competition is a rather fierce domain, and it serves a number of gods rather well. It’s spells lend itself to more martial deities, but I’m keeping a limit on all of them.
Competition: Lathander, Red Knight, Anhur, Vhaeraun, Haela Brightaxe, Solonor Thelandira, Flandal Steelskin, Ilneval.
Creation is…a somewhat lackluster domain. It’s given to clerics of deities who take pride in what they make with their hands. To me, I would think that these clerics would actually make things with their hands to please their deity, rather than just “poofing” it. Personally, I’d scrap the entire domain. However, if you want a full list (or just really want a + to conjuration spells) then here are my ideas. Following the examples put forth in the CD:
Creation: Gond, Waukeen, Geb, Laduguer, Moradin, Hanali Celanil, Flandal Steelskin, Cyrrollalee.
Domination, like cold, is pretty self explanatory. And the benefit is nice.
Domination: Bane, Gargauth, Set, Kiaransalee, Shevarash, Gruumsh
Dream is an interesting concept, but probably won’t fit into a lot of places.
Dream: Selune, Shar, Sehanine Moonbow
Force, like dream, is a very niche specific domain and hard to place. However, I’ll give it a go.
Force: Mystra, Tempus, Clangeddin Silverbeard,
Glory is a rather potent domain for combating undead...and little else. Why it’s the Glory domain, I have no clue. It’s granted power and almost its entire list of domain spells are centered on destroying undead. With this in mind:
Glory: Lathander, Kelemvor, Nephthys.
Inquisition fits nicely into a number of deities profiles.
Inquisition: Bane, Helm, Loviatar, Tyr, Lolth, Shevarash, Arvoreen,
Liberation is a great domain for chaotic deities, although it only fits in a few locations.
Liberation: Lliira, Eilistraee, Erevan Ilesere.
Madness is going to cause some odd choices from me, but, hey, that’s why it’s in a forum, so we can discuss it.
Madness: Beshaba, Garagos, Sharess, Talona, Ghaunadaur, Urdlen.
Mind: A rather useful Domain for thinkers. The CD also gives it to Olidammara, presumably for the Granted Power…so, following that lead:
Mind: Azuth, Mask, Thoth, Abbathor, Deep Duerra, Corellon Larethian, Baervan Wildwanderer, Brandobaris.
Mysticism is just such a great domain that it’s hard not giving it to everyone. The CD says that “Neutral, Lawful Neutral and Chaotic Neutral deities would never have this domain.” I can only guess that they are going for a more “tribal” feel to the Mysticism domain. So, with that in mind, I present two options:
Mysticism(1): Any deity that is worshipped outside the normal clergy structure, such as a group of nomads in the high forest who worship Mystra, may have access to the Mysticism domain.
Mysticism(2): Akadi, Gwaeron Windstrom, Grumbar, Istishia, Kossuth, Shiallia, Silvanus, Ubtao, Sehanine Moonbow, Baravar Cloakshadow, Urogalan, Bahgtru
Oracle is another niche domain, but a nice one.
Oracle: Savras, Thoth, Dugmaren Brightmantle, Labales Enoreth
Pact: Not as niche as it seems.
Pact: Bane, Helm, Kelemvor, Nobanion, Siamorphe, Torm, Tyr, Osiris, Cyrrollalee.
Pestilence fits perfectly in a few cases as Dargoth pointed out.
Pestilence: Talona, Yurtus
Purification fits in a few places.
Purification: Ilmater, Istishia, Aerdrie Faenya, Sheela Peryroyl.
Summoner. Er…? The “I want to summon stuff” domain. Fits any deity that has “Animal”, “Spider” or “Scalykind” as a portfolio
Summoner: Chauntea, Finder Wyvernspur, Gwaeron Windstrom, Lurue, Malar, Mielikki, Nobanion, Shiallia, Silvanus, Tiamat, Ulutiu, Sebek, Set, Lolth, Selvetarm, Thard Harr, Aerdrie Faenya, Fenmarel Mestarine, Baervan Wildwanderer,
Weather is pretty obvious.
Weather: Talos, Umberlee, Auril, Anhur, Isis, Aerdrie Faenya, Cyrrollalee,

Orcus isn't a god. He's the Demon Prince of Undeath. Very powerful most certainly, but not a deity as such. The fact that cults dedicated to him often identify the Demon Prince through his "portfolio", doesn't help matters, and as such, some mortal groups on many worlds consider Orcus "a god". But technically, he isn't.

Please clarify your query. Are you asking what domains we think should be assigned to Orcus, or whether or not we think that he qualifies as Faerûnian gods? There is a debate as to whether he counts as a deity anywhere. |

Based on waht I think of TymoraChosen query, I think he is asking which domain is to be placed under this god. |
There will always be parting of ways which is never of your preference. |

| I don't think worship of Orcus actually grants spells right now. Or, if it did, it would be one of the other deities granting them via a deal with Orcus...which I'm not so sure is going to happen. |

My bad.
Orcus does grant spells in the realms, according to Faiths and Pantheons. However, I don’t feel that he qualifies for any of the domains from the Complete Divine.
