[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 3351366, member: 35678"] Right! I wanted to say "Garagos", but I [i]knew[/i] that that was wrong :p Well, I would assume (not being too familiar with this FR novel reference) that some fiends have been around much longer than "pawnable" gods, who are likely, what, demi-gods who've only had their godhood for a couple hundred years or a bit more perhaps? Although, having read (well, and also owning) the Avatar trilogy, that series was a horrid attempt at "revitalizing" the Realms and injecting something new into it (and completely failing to cull off more than just a handful of some of the redundant gods in FR) while at the same time humanizing the future godlings to the the degree where, yes, we (IRL) can now empathise with the gods, which makes them seem to be more readily manipulated. That's the price we pay for a set of threee utterly redundant books: gods which don't seem so mysterious or powerful, just humans on godzilla pills :\ I completely agree with your statement here: each region has it owns distinct set of gods that you need to deal with. However, when you have cleric-boy from Mulhorand, a dwarf with his standard-issue axe from the North, a five-fingered credit card halfling from Waterdeep and pointy-ears from Evermeet, things start to get complicated.
