[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7453495, member: 6670153"] In a sense a cleric is in a sacred marriage with their God, but this still not a monotheistic faith and a cleric of God X still acknowledges the existence of other Gods, and will often have knowledge about allied and enemy deities including myths. A Pantheon will also often have more universal belief systems, for example the Mulhorand have Maat, and other religious beliefs common to all or almost all of their Gods, for example all acknowledge Ra as the ruler of the Pantheon, even priests of Set, and treat the God accordingly. The Seldarine have key myths, beliefs, teachings, and secrets common to the priests, clerics, and other religious sorts of all the Seldarine. Priests of Zandilar, Deep Sashlees, Moonbow, Sheverash, Firecloak, and so on all teach the myth that elves come from the blood of Corellon Larethian, not just his Priests. And the priesthoods of deities that are allies will usually be allies themselves in FR. And temples of more powerful gods like Tempus will some times contain shrines to the deities that serve them, like the Red Knight and maybe Uthgar, or Mystra with Azuth, Savras, and Velsharoon. So even for clerics that focus only on a single god, the Pantheon still matters, their mythologies with be filled with stories that include other gods, divine alliances, celestial/fiendish servants/other servants, Saints/Chosen/Ancestors/Aspects/Avatars and so on, competing philosophies, hereseys, isolated cults, Domains, and so on.
