But, does this place really exist? It's near the North Pole of Toril, right?

I always wondered, when you become a god, do you have to be a god of something/have a portfolio? Can you just be a "general god" and just be a real powerful being with a wide variety of powers, not of any one specific or more than one specific thing.

All gods must have a portfolio. It's what constitutes the right of godhood in FR.

-Not necessarily the "right of", but it represents what you "do", yeah. A deity has to have one.

Always love when you disagree with me, just so you can agree with me. It's just swell. :D
