Re: Savras - domains
If the deities that should not be able to be selected can be removed from the list, then this would be a good approach.Endelyon wrote:I tend to lean towards the idea that if we have a deity flagged as "selectable" on our list, then we're acknowledging that God as applicable to our server canon regardless of the timeline.

Hello,Endelyon wrote:I tend to lean towards the idea that if we have a deity flagged as "selectable" on our list, then we're acknowledging that God as applicable to our server canon regardless of the timeline. You can pick the RK, Clerics can gain domains from her, so logically the RK must have already ascended to her own divinity in our timeline.
Looking to roll my pc. Does this mean Savras can now have clerics?

Religion & Magic
The Gurs mainly followed Selûne the Moonmaiden, goddess of wanderers and navigation.
However, some Gurs of prophetic bent were also known to worship Savras, Lord of Divination, with a faith secretive to outsiders. This likely explained the survival of his faith during his long period of imprisonment. Thus Gurs were often gifted oracles and known for their talent in soothsaying and divining. Like their Rashemi kin, some Gurs possessed "the Sight", an unreliable gift for glimpses of the past and snatches of history.

Re: Savras - domains
Seems like it's canon. Thank you for the link. Is Savras prohibited by some kind of server lore?Steve wrote:Lore provides one answer for you, however, that may not be upheld—currently—on BGTSCC:RamenKing wrote:Does this mean Savras can now have clerics?

Re: Savras - domains
It's worth noting that many gods have also canonically "faked it."
For example, when Ibrandul is killed by Shar in the Underdark beneath Waterdeep during the Time of Troubles, Shar masquerades as the dead deity for a while, unbeknownst to his followers.
So even if a god was "out of commission" or "dead," in theory any god who's got similar portfolios or who has taken over their portfolios can step in to fulfill the faithful's prayers.
Llira also does it for Waukeen, I believe, when Waukeen briefly gets taken captive off Toril during the Time of Troubles.
So even if the hardliners feel like Savras should never ever be granting prayers, it could always be Azuth just answering his prayers.
