[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 821703, member: 8461"] I saw this and had to speak up: [I]Faiths & Pantheons[/I] does NOT have titles for priests of every god on Toril, for the simple reason that it does not have a listing for every god worshipped on Toril (let alone all of Realmspace); it doesn't even come close. Even the old 2E "FR gods trilogy" that was [I]Faiths & Avatars[/I], [I]Powers & Pantheons[/I], and [I]Demihuman Deities[/I] they weren't able to encompass the gods of the entire world. What slipped through the cracks? For one thing, lots and lots of deities of specific races. Bahamut is worshipped by some good dragons, but he isn't in there. Neither is Ilsensine for the illithids, or Semuanya for the lizard folk, or the Great Mother and Gzemnid of the beholders, etc. It goes on and on, especially considering that some of those races have entire pantheons themselves (such as the giants) that are worshipped on Toril, but did not get coverage. And then there are the pantheons of other human cultures. There are places where humans live beyond Faerun and have entire pantheons themselves. The Enlightened Gods of Zakhara, the pantheon of Maztica, the Celestial Bureaucracy of Kara-Tur, etc. [I]Faiths & Pantheons[/I] is not the be-all end-all source on gods of Toril. [/QUOTE]
