Hey,

Who are the two gods on the cover of Faiths and Pantheons?

I assume Bane and Torm?

Any ideas?

Also, the smaller figure has a symbol on his breast plate, does anyone know what it is?

Bane, that's sure !
Torm ? I'm not sure. Because of the symbol on his breath. It's not the typical sign of Torm...

Since Mystra, Shaar, Lolth, and Selune appear to be the main (only?) gods going into 4e, I think the next version of this tome should be called -

Faiths and Pantyhose :P

For me, the other guy looks a lot like Heironeous from Dieties and Demigods, but since he isnt in FR the closest i could come to is maybe a paladin of Tyr since Tyr's symbol is the closest in shape to that on the chest of the other character.

Well, I've always called Faiths and Pantheons "Fates and Pantyhose". :P

-It is Torm. That is a depiction of their famous battle, in Tantras, at the end of the Time of Troubles.

When they both threw a Tantrum? (something about that city's name...) :rolleyes:

I thought Torm had the head of a Lion during that battle? I seem to recall that... I know he absorbed the stone Lion he brought to life to prove himself to Aldon (I think that was his name).

yep, Torm had a lion's head during the battle with Bane. I think the picture on cover of F&P is just a vague representation of that battle for those who haven't read that book.

-The battle between Bane and Torm is, perhaps, the most famous battle concerning any deities of the Realms. It's obviously Bane, and the knight-looking figure, must be Torm.
