Deities

To the gods of Faerūn, mortal worshippers are a useful and sadly finite resource. As such, clergy are directed to carefully cultivate the ranks of their followers, and to vigilantly guard against any that would seek to sway the faithful towards the worship of other deities. While it is not impossible for races to cross over to other races deities, it is an unusual occurance. Their clergy would most likely view those openly preaching the virtues of outsider deities as a threat to be discouraged. Worship of unholy deities are seen as an open crime and threat to the very nature of the Silver Marches to be opposed and defeated completely.

This list summarizes all of the major deities in the Forgotten Realms setting, as well as some of the minor ones that are actively worshipped in this region of Faerūn. Each one is given a brief a description and some vital information for Clerics who wish to become members of a particular faith. The information in this document takes precedence over any other written material, official or otherwise, and should be accepted as House Rules for the Silver Marches server.

FOR CLERIC CHARACTERS: For those who wish to play a cleric character, you will need to select a deity as your patron. Each faith has strict alignment requirements for their disciples and allows only a few domains for clerics to access. Above all else, these two restrictions MUST be adhered to by the cleric at all times. If the Powers that be (in the guise of DMs on this server) should notice any deviation from the guidelines listed here, that character may be removed from the server's vault.

Please note that, although we strive to stay as close to the rulebooks in pen-and-paper version of the Dungeons and Dragons game as possible, we are also trying to maintain a sense of balance and fairness among all players. Some of the decisions made here, particularly in regards with domain selections for clerics, do not fit exactly with those listed in the FRCS (Forgotten Realms Campaign Sourcebook). But most of the domains listed in the sourcebooks are not available or represented in the NWN engine at this time, and therefore, we had to make adjustments and compromises as we seen fit.

Deities of the Realms
Any deity with a * appearing after his/her name is considered to be one that is favored in the regions of the North and/or Silverymoon. This simply means that they have a stronger following here than most other deities, or that their following is strongest in this region than anywhere else.
