I looked through my old Monster Mythology to see if I could find a reference to Doresain, the King of Ghouls, and it got me to wondering about some of the other gods that I ran across from this book. Anyone that knows the answers to these questions, I greatly appreciate your time.
I know that Mellifluer is mentioned as an alias of Velsharoon, which means that Mellifluer's Realmsian incarnation may have fallen prey to the god of Necromancy, but that he was known in the Realms at one point in time.
So, did Cegilune (goddess of hags), Kanchelsis (or Mastraacht, god of vampires, mysteriously tied to the Seldarine), Squerrik (wererat god), Balador (werebears), Ferrix (weretigers), Daragor (werewolves), and Eshebela (werefoxes) ever have official mentions in any Realms products, or were they ever mentioned as having been present in Toril anywhere in 2nd edition material?
Just curious . . . Ferrix might be an interesting goddess for catfolk, but . . . I'll not get too far ahead of myself.

I don't immediately recall any references to Cegilune, Kanchelsis, Balador, Daragor, Ferrix or Eshebela in 2e material outside the fan-based FR Compendium here at Candlekeep. Squerrik is presently unaccounted for in 3e FR as I recall.
Ferrix is listed as an ally of Solonar though -- as stated in Deminhuman Deities.

I like the idea of Cegilune being a fallen demigoddess servant of Selune, maybe the patron of divine warriors and oracles of the Moonlady. |

There is a goddess in Zakhara named Kiga, who could just be the Faerūnian aspect of Ferrix. She is known as the predator, who commands a pride of female were-leopards.

Intersting... especially since I also see the Queen off Air and Darkness listed there (under Foes).
That means there is a canon reference to her in FR, allowing me to win an argument from a year ago.

Which argument was that Markus? |

I was using the QoA&D in a little something I wrote in a WotC thread (may have been the Utter East one), and someone (I forget who now) said I couldn't use her because she wasn't "part of Realms canon".
So Nyaaaah... to whoever...  |

Can you give us some links to that specific material? I'd like to read what some folks have written about those deities in the Realms. |
