[QUOTE="Pragmatic, post: 6757443, member: 6804583"] I was first introduced to the Forgotten Realms back in the "grey box" days of 1st edition. Lathander was a major god, Amaunator... I don't think Amaunator was even mentioned, not until they got to FR13 (Anauroch)? I only really got to learn anything about Amaunator in the Arcane Age - Netheril supplement. We went from a little known about Lathander, and at best a mention of Amaunator, to a fully-fleshed out Lathander and an interesting footnote on Amaunator, to some heresy that Amaunator had turned into Lathander... to Amaunator ripping his way out of Lathander (like Bane ripped his way out of Xvim). But like I said, I've interpreted it in my own way. From the old "Book of the Righteous" (Green Ronin Press, IIRC), deities are shown as having multiple aspects, depending on the worshiper. So I started viewing Lathander/Amaunator as a dual-aspected deity. Both sides of the debate were right, they both represent the same deity, but just different facets of his character. [/QUOTE]
