As for how the dead gods returned, the only explanation I know of is Mystra was dispersed in the Weave. There's enough prior info for DMs to work out most of what happened. Personally I don't think this needs answering and unless they really ramp up the output of the Forgotten Realms supplements I wouldn't want to see pages wasted on this in a D&D supplement. There's no reason you can't explain the continued prayers to dead gods being answered in this way. If you want a hardline "this is canon" answer though, after the Time of Troubles when many of the gods died, other gods who picked up their portfolio continued to answer prayers directed to the dead god for a time. How that's resolved is entirely up to the DM. Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide largely just covers the worshipers and currently there are worshipers of Amaunator and Lathander. And the deities do vary a bit, so in my mind at least, they are both the same (all the Lolths are part of the same Lolth), but are also individuals.There's really nowhere that covers this. It gets complicated, to be sure, but it's also really interesting. To truly kill them, you would have to do so in all the settings they exist in, which is hard with multispheric deities. This is one of the reasons a "dead" god may not stay dead. Again, however, some deities are multispheric, existing in multiple settings. The cosmology layout has changed through the editions, but they are connected, in a way.Īnd to your last question that is my understanding. So theoretically', Pelor and Lathander could meet up in Elysium (though they probably have their own "sections"). Ao is the overgod of Realmspace, but not the entire multiverse, for example. But the D&D settings are each a part of the multiverse. A lot of the nonhuman deities are like this.įor the most part, yes (though Eberron is separate). So the same Lolth lives in the same Abyss, worshipped by drow on both Toril and Oerth. Celestian, for example, is widely worshipped all over despite being originally from Greyhawk.Īlso, AFIK most of the settings (except for Eberron, Dark Sun, and Ravenloft) connect to the same set of Outer Planes. (With WotC’s recent announcement about classic settings, Spelljammer is a strong contender for a 5e update, so we may actually see some of this soon.) Worship of a deity from one setting can spread into another. You can literally fly from Waterdeep on Toril to Palanthas on Krynn by hopping on a galleon equipped with a spelljamming helm. Some gods are worshipped in multiple settings.Ĭanonically, many of the D&D settings exist in the same greater multiverse, each solar system of the Material Plane set in its own crystal sphere separated by a rainbow-colored gas-like substance called the phlogiston.
