[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6508039, member: 2067"] If 5e continues the tradition from 2e, the broad answer is "yes" for all your questions. But so far, 5e's been silent on where the gods "dwell" (if anywhere). Kind of up to individual DMs at the moment. In 2e, Ao basically set the rules of his own world, but had no real influence outside of it. He can consign souls to a wall of faithless if he wants (and apparently he does), but he doesn't have to, and those who travel outside of Toril aren't necessarily beholden to Ao's decree. It's suggested that each world has its own rules here, so that a faithless planar traveler who when to Toril and died there would be cosigned to the wall, just as a Toril native adrift on Athas who died there would be cosigned to the Grey regardless of what they thought their afterlife was going to be. In places not messed up by overdeities or apocalypses, they'd probably just drift to the planes of their alignments and become part of them. Which does sort of bring up the question of why Ao wants to treat the faithless like that... But within FR, it doesn't typically matter. [/QUOTE]
