[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 7983877, member: 2209"] This is easy to do in D&D because there is so much lore from different sources, different authors, and editions which can be mixed and matched. Is one-eyed Talos the cruel stormlord head of the Gods of Fury in the Realms really the one-eyed Orc leader Gruumsh in disguise? Is Odin really in charge of most of the pantheons in the Realms, not only one-eyed Gruumsh and Talos, but also All-father Moradin of the bearded norse-ish dwarven pantheon, and the elvish warrior wizard Correlon Lorethain? Is Bane an Ares like cruel war god as shown in 4e Dawn War pantheon, the major God of Tyranny, or was he an ascended warlord always grasping at power? You could have different cultures or sects each viewing him differently. If you go beyond D&D you could equate him with Chardun from the Scarred Lands or Asmodeus. Is Asmodeus the fallen angel who murdered the human god to gain his deific power (4e Dawn War), a LE dragon half of the universe from primal times recovering from being struck down by the good coatl half (2e Guide to Hell), the first god created by the now absent Creator as the god of fire (Green Ronin), A LE god from the beginning times who struck his CG brother down as the first act of betrayal (Pathfinder), Just the strongest devil (1e)?
