[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7453512, member: 6670153"] It's more complicated then that in FR, I mean yeah the Gods do in some ways function like Greek gods at times, at others they seem more cosmic, depending on the writer. FR deities have a strong element of underneath the personalities, being Platonic ideals (this is why Gods in FR never die completely, they themselves are Avatars in a sense for the Platonic Forms they represent IMO, even greater deities. Sune is a Greater Goddess of Beauty and Love, but at a higher level, she is a manifestation of the Platonic Form of love and beauty. They never straight up put it this way, but it's strongly hinted at in FR. Plus their ARE none deity focused religions, they just don't get much attention, like FR has a quasi Buddhist and Hindu religions,, among others, the pre Tiamat Cult of the Dragon, and other weird stuff, Beast and Monster cults, and some people consider the Gods to be just Archetypes and ideals (until they find out they are wrong like Drizzt did).
