She's always been among my favorite gods.   Sememmon...one of my favorite mages in FR. I can only guess he no longer has Manshoon making clones for him since their falling out. I have to figure he could make his own at this point anyway. Is he dead at this point or still alive somewhere?   Lady Alustriel...no longer running Neverwinter. What's up with her these days?   Is Zhentil Keep merely a ruin at this point, or has it been rebuilt?

He's thus lost his divinity, but any word on if he will rebuild Zhentil Keep as yet to been released.   Sememmon I think was a full Human if I remember correctly. He's most likely dead of old age. After Darkhold was taken over by Cyric worshipers of the Zhentarim he pretty much disappeared.

It'd be fantastic if WotC were to take a page from the likes of The Aeneid, the Twelve Labors of Heracles, and the Quest for the Golden Fleece and instead recast it with a superhuman but mortal Iyachtu Xvim in the lead.   Sadly, though, it'll never happen. But oh, one can dream...
