I'm trying to map the gods of Freeport to their closest Faerunian counterparts and running into a couple of stumbling blocks. Has anyone else set Freeport in the Realms, and if so, who did you use for the gods of Knowledge, Pirates, Warriors and the Seas? Thanks in advance.

I havn't used those moduals, but why not use Oghma = Knowledge (Again 1 of his portfolios) Valkur or Umberlee = Pirates (Sailors, navel combat, safty of ships, favorable winds are his portfolios) Tempus = Warriors (He has these as 1 of his portfolios) Umberlee = Seas (Oceans, waves, currents, sea winds are her portfolios)
Gotrex 08-04-03, 05:48 PM	well asuming you want gods from the faerunian pantheon and not a more specific one like dwarves or elves theres are the gods that cover those areas Knowledge: Oghma: Greater god of Knowledge, invention, inspiration, bards - Alignment Neutral Warriors: Tempus: Greater god of War, battle, warriors - Alignment Chaotic Neutral Seas: Umberlee: Intermediate god of Oceans, currents, waves, sea winds - Alignment Chaotic Evil Pirates: There isnt an actualy god of pirates but there is a god of sailors Valkur: Demigod of Sailors, the safety of ships, favourable winds, naval combat - Alignment chaotic good

Citizen Arcane 08-04-03, 06:12 PM	Thanks for the help guys! Knowledge = Oghma works just fine. Warriors = Tempus also looks like it could work, with minor tweaking. Seas = Umberlee not so good. The problem is, that the Freeport sea deity is Neutral, and the priests are often leaning towards good. Umberlee just seems to be a bit too evil and destructive. Pirates = Valkur also not a perfect match. Valkur is too good. The pirate god is CN and a bit more mischievious. I may try to adapt a trickster god... I'm willing to make changes to the Faerunian gods to make them fit those is Freeport, but I was hoping that someone would be able to suggest a minor deity that would be a closer match.
Gotrex 08-04-03, 06:50 PM	i guess for seas your characters could pray to Istishia Greater god of water who is neutral closest i can find for a sailor really is Shaundakul Lesser god of Travel and exploration who is chaotic neutral
