I don't really that kind of approach, because if I want to change something, I have no problem doing so, but I still want to know what things are like in the Realms. However, it works for many, so...With their storylines, WotC has been using ''uber'' beings, even gods (like Tiamat), in very blunt, not subtle ways. Info about gods (whether they come from Elminster, of Farideh, or whoever) are getting included in various novels. Yes, they are from a character's perspective, and they have a varying degree of accuracy, but if you look at it from our perspective, they're obviously there to inform us about what's happening/what has happened with the gods (or because they are key to the story), so they can be considered true. They're fully optional to use (everything is), but they're still info about the gods or other ''above mortals'' stuff in the current time.Ed Greenwood has also given answers about various matters, including deities, in his ''Questions for'' thread over Candlekeep, and that is considered official unless WotC decides to overwrite it (which, given their approach of letting details out, seems very unlikely). Granted, they have mostly been ''yes, X is back'', but he also given insight on stuff that mortals would have no way to know (the matter with Tiamat, Bane, and Asmodeus for example, or that Eilistraee and Vhaeraun are separate again).</blockquote>
