reanjr said:If I recall correctly, the Dragonlance deities were the original Forgotten Realms deities created by Jeff Grubb? Something like that. Alot of Dragonlance names are taken from the bible or other Christian writings, though (Habbakuk, Hiddukel, Zeboim, and I think even Takhisis).
Jeff Grubb had a campaign called Toril...which was not at all related to Ed Greenwood's Forgotten Realms. A good number of the gods of Jeff's pantheon were used in Dragonlance, with the names getting a bit of a makeover. Then, the powers that be used Jeff's campaign name for the planet of the Forgotten Realms setting.
So, in a weird technical way the gods of Krynn came from Toril, which was not Forgotten Realms....until it was.


So no....the gods of DL were not the original FR gods...it is just a good example of showing how creative things were used at TSR.
