And Mask is alive as well. Helm is dead I think. BUt don't quote me on that.
Azuth and Velsharoon are still alive but adrift in the Astral Plane.
Cyric is imprisoned, but alive.
I believe Lathandar is dead. Now known as the long dead Amauntor(sp?).
Lathander is Amaunator.
And Mask is alive as well.
Where was that confirmed?
Helm is dead I think.
He is dead.
Tyr is also dead.

Corellon Larenthian
I fairly certain he didn't add an extra 'n' to his name in 4e. ;)
How, when and why did Tyr die???
No-one knows - it was only mentioned in passing in a reference to Tymora (I think).
I think GreenKnight killed him....
How, when and why did Tyr die???
We don't know yet--the recent Dragon article on Cormyr mentioned that he was dead in the section about Tymora but did not go into any detail about it.

DC 30: Tymora has seduced dozens of deities and countless mortals over the centuries, but has remained curiously solemn and chaste since the death of her consort, Tyr.
That's all we know, so far.
I think GreenKnight killed him....

Mask
If you could tell me were this was confirmed, I'd appreciate it.

Just did a quick search and didn't find anything. Could've sworn I'd seen Rich say something about Mask still being around, but I guess I'm just talking out of my ass, here.

In one of the threads concerning his books I believe Mr.Kemp said that we didn't have to worry about his main character going godless for awhile.
He never gave a direct answer because I'm sure that's a no-no. But he hinted at the fact that Mask would still be alive when 4e rolled up to the block.
....
The one place I didn't look. Thanks, I feel like an idiot.
Oh well, makes my job easier.In one of the threads concerning his books I believe Mr.Kemp said that we didn't have to worry about his main character going godless for awhile.

Hah! Even when I'm wrong I'm right!

-Yup.

I wonder if he'll hunt Dark Elves as well? The taint of the past doesn't wash off that easly in the eyes of a god. Or gods have a long memory. Or Gods hold grudges; either way I'm interested in how he turns out.
In all honesty I don't think he'll make it to 4e. He's to small a player. 4e is really like a big, money hungery coporation. You know, "Walmart; P***ing on the little guy."
Not that I don't love walmart or any money hungery coporation. I'm pretty much a take it where I can get it sort of guy. I"ll make one myself some day if I can. "Money Hungery" is the key words there.
So.. what happened to Shevarash?
If he doesn't die, it's highly probable he'll wind up an exarch.

-Shevarash was against Lolth, and Drow. Being as that Dark Elves aren't Drow, but instead are "Wild" Elves, he'd have no problem with them. Unless they continued their evil Lolthite ways.
He was a demigod, anyway, so not a whole lot of difference, there.
True.
Have anymore Exarchs besides Nobanion been confirmed? It might be worth starting up a separate category in the OP for that if they have.
I know the Red Knight and Clageddin Silverbeard have been confirmed as Exarchs/Demigods, at least.

-Nobanion hasn't even been fully confirmed, really. He was, but then the article with him in it was quickly taken down, citing that that article, with that information, wasn't the "final cut".
That brings up another question. I know the Dark Elves make up a very small sect of the drow population, but will they change in anysort of way physcolagicly speaking?
-Yes. They cannot see in the dark, cast Darkness, Faerie Fire, it's likely they don't have the SR anymore...
be more inclinded to do good?
-No. Someone who is raised by adoptive parents thinking he/she is Italian, and then finds out that he/she is adopted, and is actually German isn't going to suddenly and randomly lose their "personality".
And if a priest of Lolth turns into a Dark Elf will she still be able to practice her religion? Lolth's doctrine only allows Drow to worship her. Heavy thinking.
-Yes, yes they will. Lolth allows more than just Drow to worship her. Her church might not allow others, but that isn't stopping Lolth herself.

You can't trust any of that guy's (FAQ) info - he's an opinionated jerk. :P
You know, that 'Jack Tripper' joke just doesn't seem as funny anymore... :embarrass
And I need to change Tyr's entry - 'diminished' is a helluva understatement.
You can't trust any of that guy's (FAQ) info - he's an opinionated jerk. :P
You just described the entire population of these boards, myself included. :D
I could be completely off-base here, but I really don't see them keeping the other Mulhorandi gods, given the direction of the changes.
Hoar, if he makes it (and I can't think of any logical reason why he wouldn't), will probably just be an Exarch (demi-power) answering to some other power now (Torm?)
Of course, that doesn't make a lot of sense since Nethereas Aumanator co-existed with Ra, but since Ra(Re)came back from the dead at some point, I'm thinking that maybe the second incarnation of him in FR was really Aumanotor's 'missing half'.
But thats all a lot of guessing and wishful thinking.
I just checked the dates - that would mean Aumanator would have had to have parted with a piece of himself a good 700 years before Netheril fell. Perhaps the big 'A' was already in decline the last millenia?
oh and Hoar serving under Torm, not likely HE probably axed Tyr in a poetic form of Justice.
only to find Tyr was set up, and axed himself.
thus the no evidence part, everyone who new it are dead, save Cyric and Shar and they are not talking
Bel
he is saying that RA along with Lathander were both parts of Amuanator.
-But, we already know that Lathander and Aumanator, along with the holder of the dusk portfolio, were parts of a higher sun entity.
Ghaunadaur makes an appearance in the FR adaptation of Thunderspire Labyrinth. He is the Realms version of Torog.
Bel
-And, this begs the question: Who is Torog?
Though I think Shar killed him and took his stuff during the ToT.
She started 4e early. :P
Didn't we already have Ibrandlin (sp?) for that?
Though I think Shar killed him and took his stuff during the ToT.
-Ibrandul. And, yes, yes she did. She did indeed kill him and take his stuff.
he is the Points of light god of the Underdark,caves, and prisoners
-Ah, thank you. Now...How exactly is Ghaunadaur linked with that. His portfolios don't exactly match very well. Is this explained in the adaptation article, or just stated? Because, yeah, this is Shar's stuff, the Underdark, and caves.
Bel
Just stated in a table on page 107 of Dungeon 156.
Bel
-Feh, oh well then.
Is there a clear hier(ess) to Mystra's portfolia as god(dess) of magic?
-There isn't going to be a deity of magic at all. At least, not in the sense that Mystra was, as an all-encompassing deity of magic. If a deity is indeed appointed this mantle, it defeats the entire purpose of culling Mystra to begin with.
I'm not holding my breath on his survival, and I'm reluctantly ready to turn my sleazy moon elf cleric of Gargauth into a sleazy cleric of Bane...
