[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 6760208, member: 17607"] In Kelemvor's defense, Mystra wasn't the first deity Adon had turned his back on -- he was originally Adon of Sune, before a scar he suffered in the early days of the Avatar Crisis caused him to lose faith in and abandon Sune's worship. That Mystra saw fit to make him the high priest of her own faith, solely because he was once her adventuring companion as a mortal, was one of Cyric's points against Mystra in their mutual trial (and part of why Cyric exposed Adon to his madness to get the cleric to see Mystra as Cyric himself did). Alzrius is right, though -- Kelemvor's last act before passing judgment on Adon was to allow Adon to see Mystra as Kelemvor saw her, which was kind of cheating, when you think about it. Adon went with Mystra in the end, at the cost of the brief relationship between the goddess of magic and the Lord of the Dead. Agreed -- especially when you realize Kelemvor still has Jergal (the original 'I have zero f**ks to give' god of the dead**) as his advisor. Does Jergal have an ancient agenda that he only now is seeking to put into motion? ** - a brief summary of a story retold in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide is useful here -- long ago, when Jergal was still Lord of the Dead, Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul showed up on his doorstep as mortals and declared they were going to kill him and take his portfolio. Jergal's response (paraphrased): "You can have my portfolio, I'm tired of it. But you all have to play a game of skull-bowling to decide which of you gets what part of my portfolio." Dude gives zero f**ks. -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
