[QUOTE="LuYangShih, post: 741399, member: 10414"] Orcus never really "died". What really happened was detailed in an adventure module a while back, I can't recall the source. But on the subject... That story of Loki killing Baldur is highly disputed. Many consider it to be a false addition made later on. And, IMO, it never happened, because Baldur is in the Marvel Comics version of Thor, and that's the end of that. :D Cyric did lose portfolios to Bane and Kelemvor, but he gained as much as he lost from Mask and Lliira, IIRC. His current portfolios fit much better for his style. As long as you ignore the crappy novels set in the Realms, Cyric is a very impressive and devious villianous deity. Tyche used to be the Goddess of Luck, (just Luck, not bad or good), but then Lathander started a war for dominance over the rest of the Gods of the Faerun, during which time Tyche was corrupted by Moander. She visited Selune, who recognized the corruption, and blasted her with some holy light, which resulted in Tyche splitting off into the two seperate entities known as Beshaba and Tymora. I believe Hoar killed one of the gods of the Mulhorandi Pantheon, but was unable to lay claim to his portfolios, as another God of that Pantheon stole them from him before he could do so himself.
