Tyr and Helm fighting over it? Ilmater moving to Brightwater? All quite bizarre acts, and acts that led Ed Greenwood to state 'those don't sound like my gods'Deities in the Real World? Uh.. I don't quite get what your point is here. Good thing the Gods in the Realms do make mistakes. Really big mistakes too. Dawn Cataclysm, anyone? They also never had a chance to do anything. As you should well know, TSR had a policy of never showing evil either win or do anything that evil. On the other hand, Cyric was driven mad by his own book! Less strife, more childish strops. And your objection to the other gods and their constant meddling is? Mystra may have the ability to deny anyone and anything arcane magic at her whim, but she barely ever uses it. The one time she did on a large scale, Ao stepped in. And as I've pointed out many times before, her Chosen are few in number, and up against a great many threats, and often tied down with running nations. You keep using that term Mary Sue. I don't think you know what that means. Elminster and his friends do not always win either. And the mentality you speak of came about because of TSR's morality stance, that prevented designers from showing evil winning, or being evil.Such hatred towards fictional characters is sad.</blockquote>
