Celestia is a trinity of three peaks on a large mountain in the Astral Plane. It illuminates everything in sight with silvery light. It is full of life and positive energy.

In the center of the mountain, Torm resides and rules the city called "True court" from High seat. It is the highest part of the mountain. He ensures that the land embodies justice, honor and purity.

On one of the other peak, Illmater also resides and his city is known as Martyrdom. Rumors abound that this city is free of suffering of any kind and soothes spirit and the soul. This city has a temple in middle with large high pillars and in the center is a sword plunged into a stone. This sword in the stone is a longsword named Justicar and on the stone an inscription reads - Justice endures.

A dragon god - Bahamut - who embodies similar principles as with other residents of Celestia also resides in the realms. His allies - the metallic dragon are always at war with chromatic dragons - which is the mirror image of the struggle between Bahamut and Tiamat.

Gates:-
This plane is connected to Dwarfhome and Eternal sun, ruled by Moradin and Amaunator respectively.

Residents:-

Torm - Greater god
the loyal Fury

Torm has always been loyal to his portfolio something which was recognised by Ao itself. After spellplague, Tyr conferred all his power to Torm and instructed his followers to follow Torm shortly before his death. He is the only unblemished lawful good deity followed by most paladins and protectors of weak. Just like the trinity of three gods before, Torm has formed a trinity with two other gods with similar dogma. He has made place for two other gods in his realms and toghether they are a formidable force of all the Lawful Good citizens in existence.

Illmater - god
the One Who Endures

Illmater assists Torm while maintain his own peak. He is the god who comes to the rescue of tortured souls. To bear someone's else torture on oneself is the highest form of service a follower of Illmater can perform for him. His city is known as Martyrdom and its names exemplifies the dogma of Illmater itself.

Bahamut - god
the Platinum Dragon

The first among the metallic dragons who embodies of what makes them different from chromatic dragons, Bahamut is the champion of Justice, nobility and honor. Many knights over the Faerun bear his banner as family crest to show that their ancestors have won their honor by standing firm through generations of struggles. Lawful good paladins revere him and metallic dragons worship him. Monarchs who have close ties with knights and families who value honor, tradition and justice above all are often crowned king in his name.

SpellJammer Chronicles:-

"Our ship came to rest on the shores of Celestia with a sea of holy water surrounding it. It was soothing for the spirit and we were rejuvenated. As we traveled further, we released there was no night in this place. The light came from within Celestia - a silver glow. It changed color tone with passage of day thus alerting us to passage of time. The glow changed from a tinge of Rosy in the silver to Orange, and even Pink.
Fortunately, there was shade from the constant glare in the form of clouds which again brought soothing rain down on us. The mountains was a realm in itself. The base of the mountain had forests with changed to meadows near the cities and then top peaks were covered with snow. Many good Metallic dragons lived in lairs, and we were fortunate enough to sight a silver dragon flying majestically. Monasteries dotted the harsher climates, but it seemed safer and forgiving compared to cold weather on land which is unforgiving and for most of us - fatal.
This trinity of three gods is a well defended mountain which is safe and blissful and full of wonders. However our wanderlust cannot allow us to settle here so we decided to return to Spelljammer before we were enticed further."

Gates of the Moon is a sea of silvery water with landmass floating above it. This landmass has exquisite and quite beauty about it which has a tendency to make people fall in love with it or leave them in awe that they are speechless for the whole time they spend here. The landmass has light from within but it waxes and wanes like the moon itself.
In the center of the landmass is the shinning white hall which is presided by Selune. This hall has muffled voices and mysterious beauty about it. Its elegance stands out and so do its name - Argentil.
Surrounding this mysterious and elegant white hall is the abode of Sune which wraps itself around the hall in a loving embrace. Brightwater - as this romantic city is called, is a place whose exceptional beauty compliments and enhances the gem of the hall in the middle.
Surrounding this giant landmass is Tymora's realm with her seven Earthmotes connected as a wheel which further enclose the loving embrace of Sune and the Moon. The Great Wheel as the Earthmotes are called, connected by bridges, it brings an earthly beauty to heavenly presence which completes the Realms.

Gates:-
Being as mysterious as it is beautiful, it allows travel through its staircase to almost all the planes. However most of the gates of the moon are one way, protecting the mysterious air of the hall.

Residents:-

Selune - Greater goddess
Moonmaiden, Our Lady of Silver

She is the most ancient deity of the Abeir-Toril who existed even before the worlds were shaped. She and her anti-thesis Shar are constantly at war. Selune prefers direct approach while Shar prefers hidden and silent warfare. Selune is the body of the Moon herself and it is said that she set the sun aflame to save Chauntea which is the cause of conflict between two sisters. Her power after the war with Shar became very weak and she waxed and waned while hidden to recover her power. Sehanine Moonbow the archfey of Selderine is said be an aspect of Selune. Thus her chief enemies are Lolth and Shar. Lurue and Mystrl are two of her daughters who are Unicorn Queen and former goddess of weave. Both these goddesses had easy access to arcane source because of unknown but mysterious connection of Moon and arcane. Unicorn Queen was able to access magic freely and teleport herself anywhere while Mystryl created weave which for a long time(before spellplague) was the only known way to access the arcane magic. Many known ways to access magic without using weave exist now, however the mysterious connection of the Moon with arcane has not been unveiled. The followers of Selune are able to access both arcane powers and divine powers - something only possible with our Lady of Silver. Selune fights madness, curse of Lycanthropy and most undead (except for Seldarine undead). She is always at war with Shar and guides the sailors by navigating them safely from the claws of Umberlee.

Sune - Greater goddess
the Lady of Love

The deity of beauty, love and tender emotions has a tender loving and flirtatious nature. She however is aloof and pledges her heart only to the faithful. She is served by Lliira and Sharess. She has a close relationship with Selune who served her when her power was lost after her war with Shar. She has no true enemy except for Shar who resents her for taking away Sharess.

LLiira - Exarch
Our Lady of Joy
&
Sharess - Exarch
the Dancing Lady

Both Exarch of Sune, Lliira is the Joybringer and is a deity famous among those who dance with joy and those who plan local festivals. As an Exarch of Sune, she fills the Brightwater with life and joy. Thus she helps the travelers and resident alike to forget the worries of world and be drowned in divine mirth of innocent happiness.
Sharess on the other hand, is a deity of hedonism. Together with innocence of Lliira, Shar's sensual dances and tendency for harmless hedonistic pleasure brings a completeness to Romance. Thus the three goddesses complete each other. Together they make Brightwater what it is - one and only place of pure and complete love.
Sharess story is a long journey which runs across the ancient times of forgotten empires of Faerun. A deity of feline beasts, she traveled and assumed many roles and smitten by wanderlust tried to find all the pleasures of the world. However, she fell to darkness when she indulged in darker side of pleasure - the pleasure in pain and suffering of others. She fell under the sway of Shar and assumed the name of Sharess and was constantly manipulated by Shar. Sune freed her and Sharess realized how much she values freedom. As an Exarch of Sune she is the most independent resident of Moon, but she stays near Sune to remind herself not to get too curious while seeking pleasures...

Tymora - goddess
Our Smiling Lady

Before any endeavor, Lay worshipers invoke Tymora for luck to smile on them. Sailors pray to Selune for hope and direction and Tymora for luck. Everyone desires luck, for even the strongest may fall to the weakest if luck is not on their side. Tymora was once a part of greater deity - Tyche the goddess of fortune. Tyche was however touched and partially corrupted by Moander. Selune intervened and split Tyche into two parts - Tymora, a goddess who bestows good luck and - Beshaba, a goddess who bestows bad luck.
Lay worshippers (the ones who will invoke any deity for their purposes and not on faith or dogma) often invoke Beshaba to not bestow bad luck and Tymora to bestow good luck. Follower of Beshaba target their enemies and invoke Beshaba to invoke bad luck upon the opposition.
Tymora resides in the outer ring of the Gates of the Moon. Her great wheel of seven motes is essentially the charm which drives away any malice and protects the Moon. She makes the trinity of these goddesses is divine.

Spelljammer Chronicles:-
"I would have never come to this accursed place. Everytime I come here, I dread it. I am the Alchemist, too old but responsible for spelljammer. I had to visit the gates of Moon because we did need the "glow of Moon" to protect us from shadow attacks we were facing. I never left the ship however, when it was time to leave, my whole crew never came back. Dreading to remember the old days where I willingly trapped myself here, I sent golems to grab and bring the spelljammer crew back to me. I never asked what happened in there for I knew by experience but everyone was either very dreamy, blushing, smiling like an idiot or laughing while working without any reason.
By all the gods, this is the most dreadful place for a spelljammer ship to come to ... even a visit to nine hells doesn't make me as fearful as a visit to the Gates of the Moon. But I have to agree, I did pretty well by resisting the temptation to leave the ship. The monks can learn a thing or two from my discipline I suppose. "

The Fugue Plane also know as the Grey waste is an unaligned plane in Astral Sea which belongs to the souls of dead. Kelemvor reshaped the plane into a place devoid of joy or suffering in order to maintain balance in the world. It was changed to a completely bland place, even the crystal spire tower is not remarkable looking but a transparent rock. All the dead souls are sent here after they spend their time on Faerun for ten days after death - those fearing afterlife may choose drastic options of becoming a devil instead.
Due to obvious reasons and hatred of undead, Kelemvor has ties with a few deities for needs basis.
Kelemvor resides in Crystal Spire and overlooks his plane.
Jergal, judges the dead and sends them to appropriate place.
After the destruction of wall, judgement is passed not based on faith to the deity but based on deeds.

Gates:-
Shadowfell, a soul must pass through shadowfell before they reach the Fugue plane. There are other connections but they are used only for transporting the dead. Thus the only easy way to reach the Fugue plane is by dying or by the permission of one of the soul collectors of Kelemvor.

Residents:-

Kelemvor - Greater god
Lord of the dead

The god of dead is the most fair deity of new Neverwinter and one of the few mortals to ascend to godhood. Kelemvor wished to clear all the corruptions in the Realms of Death brought by former Lords of Death. He is fair and represents fair justice and judgment. The Doomguides, follower of Kelemvor and know that death is not to be feared but understood. Once understood, one can accept it as a part of the cycle of life and prepare oneself to be judged for one's action in life. His fairness and and unaligned stance is a boon to all who have lost their loved one for they know that the fair and just deity will look after the safe journey of the soul of the departed and judge their fate fairly, unlike previous lord of dead who took pleasure in torturing dead souls. It is the duty of Doomguides to fight the undead and protect the living from arts of necromancy. Presence of Kelemvor as a deity represents fair judgment.

Jergal - Exarch
Seneschal of the Crystal Spire

Jergal is an ancient and powerful deity, who became bored with his power and gave his parts of divinity to mortals, taking his place as a scribe in the office of dead. He has since been true to his position - a seneschal to crystal spire. He retains his hate for undead and cyric - and for those who disturb the balance of life. He works well with Kelemvor ever since Kelemvor has rid himself of human emotions and became truly an unaligned deity.
He is a true lifeless deity - unfeeling, never angered and always formal.

Spelljammer Chronicles:-
"We are not dead yet ... "

Eternal Sun is the plane of existence of sun. This land has central golden city with four suns. The suns never set. The lands of this plane are ripe and thriving. The sun gives life to everything and darkness is unknown to those who exist here.
Amanautor resides and rules from his Golden Castle in the center of the Golden City.
The Waukeen's marketplace surrounds the castle and trade is eternally active. As the sun never sets, there is no time when trade has to be stopped.
Siamorphe, the divine right, has ended up as an exarch of Amanautur after removing herself from House of triad and Brightwatres and now resides in his golden castle.

Gates:-
This golden city has gates to Celestia and the Deep Wilds.

Residents:-

Amanuator - Greater god
Keeper of the Eternal Sun

The sun is the source of all life. Its warmth draws forth the crops by giving its life sustaining warmth to Chauntea and its radiance drives undead back to the crypts. It holds the underdark creatures back and away making all life in Toril safe. Amaunator causes the sun to burn and sets its course across the sky, giving rise to the celestial clock by which all time is measured. He watches over the lands of humans, dwarves, halflings and elves alike being a provider and guardian for all. Amaunator was the ancient deity of sun for Netheril people, but he was abandoned after Karsus's Folly as it was said that he did nothing to prevent the fall of Netherese cities. Amaunator was a lawful deity who always followed the written word of contract but seldom the spirit of the contract. It is said that a punctuation mark mistake in his contract allowed him to officially have the portfolio of Time. Hence the reason why he is also favored by those mortals who respect the law and find comfort in predictability viz, the keeper of calendars and time. After he was largely abandoned by Netherese people, his power waned to the extent that he was not able to maintain his astral dimension and his fate was unknown. After sometime, a good deity of Sun, Lathander appeared as a good deity placing freedom before law. It was revealed after spellplague that it was an aspect of Amaunator to gather strength and allies. However, Amaunator was definitely influenced by his aspect and took on lawful good alignment. p.s. Although he was officially the keeper of time, he never really claimed the domain of time travel in which Mystra had quite a large influence. However, he is regarded as time keeper as all calendars are dedicated to him and the gate of time used in time travel in ancient days (not anymore) is named as "Amaunator's belt".

Siamorphe - Exarch
the Divine Right

After her disagreement with Tyr, she stormed out of the Triad and went to reside in Brightwater - before the ill-fated duel between Tyr and Helm. The silver vessel which represents divine right to rule, now resides in golden castle of Amaunator.

Waukeen - goddess
Merchant's Friend

The goddess of wealth believes that mercantile way is the true way to prosperity. FOr her protection to merchants and their goods from destruction, she is regarded as Merchant's Friend. She has survived and escaped from her imprisonment from the demon and now resides with Amaunator in his golden city.

Spelljammer Chronicles:-
" We had to trade and gear up for our next spot. So I thought what the fudge? The prosperous reopened plane of sun god is nearby. Why not have a look at eternal market of Waukeen? Some of the crew was nervous. They say that the goddess had been selling her pieces to a devil and she hadn't paid her debt in full. So she allowed the devil to trade with customers in her place. But all that is hearsay. Any heresay ever came true ...
...
...

Hmm... one of the hearsay did come true - the hearsay of Lanthander being Amaunator. Who could have guessed. Better keep my guard up. You can never trust these gods..."

Arvandor is the place which has been destroyed during its infancy many times and has seen much struggle. Initially a garden of paradise of Feylife, events after Dawn War and Corellon's fight with Grummush shaped the realm to what it is - a rose with thorns. It ceneters on Corellon's Palace - the Crescent Grove where he lives with his queen Angharradh. There are hills where Gnome in Seven Golden Hills along with their deities who were lead out of the Caverns by Garl Glittergold - the joker god.

Gates:-
This is one of the few realms to have a two way access to Gates of the Moon. Sehanine Moonbow - the consort of the Corellon was revealed to be an aspect of the Moon and she roams the elven and the mortal realms equally. Hence a constant travel to and from the Gates of the Moon is required. Aprt from that, there are gates to Deep Wilds, Fey Wilds and Sky Home.

Residents:-

Corellon - Greater god
First of Seldarine

First of Seldarine, Patron of Elves and Eladrin. Corellon in his epic battle with Gruumsh plucked his(Gruumsh's) one eye, but from the blood of Corellon from injuries were born first of Eladrin. A benevolent protector of his followers and of the culture and ways of Elves and Eladrin, he resides in Arvandor(also called Verdant Isles, its an Archipelego) in Astral sea. His court is majestic and called Seldarine. He lives there with Sehanine Moonbow who is absent from the domain as she walks mysteriously in Moonlight. It was revealed that Sehanine Moonbow is an aspect of Selune herself but the rest remains a msytery even to the wise. However, Sehanine is not a deity herself but an archfey so unlike the Moonmaiden, the aspect can be slain like any other mortal. He banished Arunshaee who became Lolth after a power struggle. He is the father of Elistraee who saved a part of the drow by turning their domain away from Lolth back to Corellon by sacrificing herself. Thus Lolth, his former lover turned spider demon and Gruumsh the orc god are his sworn enemies.

Angharradh - goddess
Queen of Arvandor

During the battle between Araushnee and Corellon - Aerdrie Faenya(an aspect of Akadi), Hanali Celanil(an aspect of Sune), and Sehanine Moonbow(an aspect of Selune) - [combined their rings together and summoned captain planet ...] forget that - combined and formed an aspect of a powerful single deity who turned the course of war - the Queen of Arvandor, Angharradh. It is to be understood that even though Angharradh was formed from the combination of three Selderine goddesses, she is different from them all. However, as the goddesses are busy with their domains after the spellplague and meet less often, her powers have considerably weakened. Also, the three aspects of goddesses were themselves different from the goddesses itself. Hence an aspect does not mean guise but is more akin to Avatar - albeit more equal in power and closer to dogma of the goddess.

Garl Glittergold - god
the Joker

The popular deity of gnomes, it is said that first of gnomes were discovered and lead by Garl into the world after he told them a joke. He has a habit of playing pranks even on other deities and monsters. His clerics are called Glitterbrights and his dominion is in the Gnome lands, primarily the Seven Golden Hills in Arvandor where he roams playing his pranks on everyone.

Deep Sashelas - Exarch
the Dolphin Prince
&
Erevan Ilesere - Exarch
the Trickster
&
Fenmarel Mestarine - Exarch
the Lone Wolf
&
Labelas Enoreth - Exarch
Lord of the Continuum
&
Shevarash - Exarch
the Night Hunter
&
Solonor Thelandira - Exarch
the Great Archer

The Exarch reside in the court of Seldarine. First among the council come Erevan Ilesere - the trickster and the jester. If he is good or bad, lucky or unlucky - is all arguable, but it can be agreed that he is very chaotic. Others include Fenmarel Mestarine whose followers all remain aloof and roam the lands alone and forsake company. Shevarash is the exarch in Selderine who is somewhat of an outcast but is revered by those who seek revenge. Solonor Thelandira is an elven exarch who teaches his followers how to move unseen and perfect their archery. Even being a hunting god who can fell anyone silently with one shot, he teaches his followers to maintain balance and hunt only to keep that balance. Labelas Enoreth governs the passage of time and is rarely invoked by residents of Selderine except for those who seek to record time in its proper passage. He along with the Moonmaiden governs the life of residents in its various phases and protects them from any alterations in flow of time(i.e. time travel). The dolphin prince Deep Sashelas is the Lord of the Undersea and governs the life of Undersea in Arvandor. He maintains good relation of aquatic life with land faring people and protects it from exploits of sahuagin's god Sekolah.

Spelljammer Chronicles:-
" So we decided to visit Arvandor when it is least boring - during one of its hunts. They say that there is a door to prison where many Abominations are imprisoned. Those Abominations escape the maze and arrive here in Arvandor where they are hunted down before they can reach Astral Planes. It is said that it is sad for Elves and Eladrin as those who sleep on hunt may sleep forever - the elven way of saying death (because it seems death word shakes these delicate beings.) Well whatever, I will just stay in my ship and avoid any of those annoying Gnomes. Elven ladies dig it whenever I bring spelljammer here. I decorated it for that purpose only. Hehehe, can't wait. While the crew is on hunt, I will hunt my sadness away."

The Deep Wilds is a plane in Astral sea which is a vast expanse of untamed wilderness. It is full with jungles of every type, desert, savannah, meadow, steppe, light forests, marsh and frozen mountains peaks. It even has a bordering ocean. The residents include all kinds of beasts and faerie folk. Those who spend too much time in this land become more and more bestial in nature. The weather is wild and unpredictable too. Silvanus resides in Summeroak in the southern and eastern reaches of the Deep Wilds. The woods here are thick andwildlife is abundant. Among other residents, Silvanus has Malar whom he is opposed to but has not reigned in. Malar is thus allowed to roam freely in the lands. Umberlee resides in the Ocean hundreds of league under the waters of Blood sea, so called because of the river flowing in it from the hunting grounds where Malar resides. To the north lies Tir fo Leth, or Frostfell also called Land Under Eternal Ice.There is no colder place in Astral realms than this and Auril makes it her home.

Gates:-
The Deep Wilds is connected to Arvandor, Eternal Sun, the Feywild, the Dismal Caverns, the Elemental Chaos and it has a two way portal to the Gates of the Moon.

Residents:-

Silvanus - Greater god
the Forest Father (leaf)
&
Malar - Exarch
the Beastlord(claw)

The forest father. The deity of nature is the oldest and most prominent deities of Fearun. Unlike Chauntea who favors those who shape the land, Silvanus is the father who protects the wild from encroachments of civilization. His followers are unpredictable and wild given to bouts of savagery against those who intrude the woodlands. An ally of Chauntea and served by Mielikki(in turn served by Lurue). Even though enemies, Malar(deity of hunt) also resides in Silvanus's home the deep wild. Silvanus dislike Malar because the actions of hunting into civilization bring chaos in the wilds. Malar takes care that hunt is always proper. Malarites even stock food for some villages in north so that the village survives harsh winter.

Mielikki - goddess
the Forest Queen
&
Shiallia - Exarch
the Lady of the Woods (Acorn)
&
Lurue - Exarch
the Unicorn Queen (Unicorn in Crescent)

The Forest Queen Mielikki walks the forests but rarely shows herself to her followers. Her steed is Lurue - the daughter of Selune, who also serves as her Exarch along with Shiallia. Together the three roam the untouched wilds. Lurue is also the Unicorn Queen who represents the talking beasts and is revered by Pegasi, unicorn and other peace-loving intelligent creatures as opposed to Malar who represents beasts with violence and bloodshed.

Auril - goddess
the Frostmaiden

The deity residing in coldest part of Astral sea, her Winter Hall moves slowly across the Deep Wilds like a snowstrom. Built of wind and ice, it brings strong cold winds and heavy chilling snow wherever it goes. Even Umberlee is helpless against her as her mere presence has frozen northern parts of Blood seas and sometimes when near, the blood sea is blown along with ice resulting in catastrophically fatal snowstrom. She can reach anywhere in mortal realms and even sends her soldiers to battle the genies and efreets of Calimshan increasing to the strife in south.

Umberlee - goddess
the Bi tch Queen

Umberlee is the evil sea goddess who fight to sink any land walker down the the dark depths of ocean. She keeps the sea harsh and is the reason for many shipwrecks along sword coast. She resides in the bloodsea, but has lost the north part gradually to Auril. She is one of the member of Fury along with Malar and Auril and the Fury are under the rule of Silvanus since Talos was revealed as Gruumsh and banished from Fury's heart.

Spelljammer Chronicles:-
"'A ship in air is under no threat from Umberlee' - my teacher the captain Jack Swallow used to say. Everytime we used to journey, we had to pay a hefty sum to hire a cleric of Umberlee aboard our ship. One of the three primal furies ... but she was the least of my worries this time. I have a spelljammer now - so eat this you bi tch queen! - was what I wanted to say. However I ignored the other furies when I said that. And now our spelljammer is being chased by the Frostmaiden. Or probably, she is on her own course, which is right at our arses!!! Anyways, we could have parked our spelljammer below and waited for her to pass, but we are directly above hunting grounds. Malar's beasts will donate our blood freely to blood river if we land. This is truly a crisis. Worse thing is, Silvanus won't hear us. What will he have to do with us 'civilized and tame' beings? Somebody help us! Anybody!"

Green Fields is a plain of lush fields, verdant hills and a very fertile place. Food bearing plants and flowers grow in abundance and it is a paradise for any farmer. Halflings live in this place along with their deities and move as a group from place to place settling at every place for a while before moving on.

Gates:-
This is one of the few places to have a two-way portal to Gates of the Moon.

Residents:-

Chauntea - Greater god
She Who Shapes All

The Great Mother is revered by all who depend on the land for their livelihood. Grain goddess, the Great Mother, the Golden goddess, She who shapes all. Chauntea is famous among farmers and all those who depends upon land. She was one of the older deities present during the birth of Abeir-Toril distributing life and fertility in both the worlds. She holds power over the way in which sentient mortals interact with the world. She is kind and ensures healthy harvest to all who treat land with respect it requires. She is a deity not only to farmers and tillers but also to druids who shape the wild lands naturally which have not been tamed.

Sheela - goddess
Green Sister

One of the harvest deity, Sheela wanders the Green Fields moving from one place to other while keeping a watchful eye on halflings and protecting and assisting them. She professes a balanced agriculture so the land should support the life for long and with harmony. Halflings under her watchful eye are always in festive mood while taking care of their simple responsibilities. They do not cut trees indiscriminately in order to tame lands but try to keep a balance between wild growth and grown crops - moving from land to land to give the land a chance to grow freely again. She serves the Great Mother and is revered by halflings as the Mother. She is in turn served by three halfling Exarchs who roam the wilds along with her.

Arvoreen - Exarch
the Defender(two swords)
&
Brandobaris- Exarch
Master of Stealth(footmark)
&
Cyrrollalee - Exarch
the Hand of Fellowship(Open Door)

It is said that the three Exarchs taught all the good halflings roaming the lands the skills to survive, grow and thrive. Arvoreen taught them how to defend themselves and their settlements. He also taught them how to use their wrath to reply to any incursion or insult so that their way of peaceful life will always be preserved. Brandobaris taught the halflings the art of stealth, diplomacy, the love of gold and tricks. But what he truly taught the halflings was - to be curious. This made sure that halflings will keep learning and growing and will not become stagnant. Not well like by many halflings as they see him as an "urban" rather than "rustic" deity, nevertheless Brandobaris is responsible for many attributes given by scholars to halflings when describing them. Lastly, Cyrrollalee taught the halflings the importance of fellowship, trust and hospitality. This is what won the halflings many friends among good natured folks. The open door also symbolizes the need to go outside to explore, interact with others and thus make friends - apart from welcoming every visitor.

Spelljammer Chronicles:-
"The crew was feeling homesick. So we decided to spend some time in Green Fields. While I landed my ship outside, I went in search of some herbs in the garden where druids and farmers devoted to Chauntea live. The visit was very fruitful and when I came back, the crew was also reinvigorated. They were dancing and singing along with those halfthings in the plains outside the garden. If only for halfling mischief and their curiousity in messing up my spelljammer didn't exist, this place would have been my most preferred destination."

Warrior's Rest is a desolate warland of rocky terrain than changes and recovers from constant wars over this land. War here, is a sport played by those who do not die. It is a paradise, but for only those who enjoy war and can hold their grounds. In a single granite tower on Blood Tor, Tempus's current lover Beshabha lives. Red knight, the lady of strategies also resides in her Red Tower whom Tempus treats as his own Daughter. His Exarchs maintain their own land in the realms and do his bidding.

Gates:-
Unknown

Residents:-

Tempus - Greater god
the Foehammer

the Foehammer. The deity of war respects honorable battles, despises cowardice and encourages conflict of arms to settle disputes. Many gods of war emerged from the battle between Shar and Selune and fought with themselves. The victor absorbed the strength of the defeated and finally Tempus was the only victor left and a powerful deity, except for Garagos who is now the exarch of Tempus. Uthgar is also an exarch of Tempus.

Beshaba - goddess
Lady Doom

Split from Tyche, Beshaba is the anti-thesis of Tymora and also her arch-enemy. Tyche the goddess of fortune was touched and partially corrupted by Moander. Selune intervened and split Tyche into two parts - Tymora, a goddess who bestows good luck and - Beshaba, a goddess who bestows bad luck. Tymora inherited Tyche's heart while Beshaba inherited Tyche's appearance. Her appearence has lead many mortals to fall in love with her and to their own demise. She bestows bad fortune on her opponents.

Red Knight - Exarch
Lady of Strategy(red knight)
&
Uthgar - Exarch
Battle Father(Uthgar on Pegasus)
&
Valkur - Exarch
Captain of the waves(Stromy clouds)
&
Garagos - Exarch
Lord of War(five hands with scimitars)

The Red Knight lives in the red tower and is treated by Tempus like a daughter. She also shares a relationship with Torm but neither has confirmed or denied it. She is master of strategies and it is said that there is no one who can devise better strategy than her in any warfare. She believes good strategy in war can reduce necessary bloodshed in conflicts. Uthgar is the father of the tribes worshiped in Neverwinter woods region. The barbaric tribe-leader once collected human tribes and forged them into a force to fight the orcs who swept down from spine of the world. He fought his last battle in Morgur's Mound. Even today, tribes of Vellosk (gray wolf tribes) and many other barbarians call themselves Uthgardt in his honor. He resides in wintery peaks of Warrior's rest called Uthgardthium. Valkur is the Exarch in charge of all kind of Naval warfares and the conditions of seas which determine many close battles. He is honored by captains of battleships before they face their enemies in the seas. Valkur's Safe Harbor separate the land and naval battles. Lastly Gargaros is the evil Exarch and perhaps the oldest whom Tempus tolerates for reasons known only to him. Perhaps it is a reflection to Tempus to what he may become if he forgets honor and ethics in midst of revelry he enjoys in wars. Garagos calls his realms Battle Garde.

Spelljammer Chronicles:-
" I have often heard of Warrior's rest but I can never seem to find a door to it - nor do I ever intend to. For cowardice there is punishable by death, and I am a coward when it comes to putting my ship in danger."

Towers of the Night is the largest dominion of all the planes in the Astral Sea. It consists of deserts filled with black rocks and black sand. It also has spooky forests and sinister seas doting its landscape. The cities consist of citadels, and Lady of Loss resides in one of them called Palace of Loss, the largest darkest and the most sinister of them all. In one of the spooky forests called Slithering Jungles, serpents and their god Sseth practice the dark arcane magic, the kind which is forbidden everywhere else. In this jungle, abode of Sseth is on the black pyramid called City of Serpents. Not far from Sseth's dominion is Talona's abode in a land ridden by everlasting plague. Talona's abode resides on another black pyramid called Plague Palace. Zehir lives hidden unlike others in the underground caverns bordering the Sea of Poison.

Gates:-
There are many portals to and from Shadowfell.

Residents:-

Shar - Greater god
Mistress of the Night

Mistress of the Night. Unlike Selune, Shar has retained all of her former strength and has always been a powerful deity. She longs for the return to nothingness for she is the manifestation of the void which existed before the creation. She longs for darkness and shadow and is resentful of any deity who transgresses on to her domain of darkness. She prefers shadows to nurture hatred for small offenses, lust for revenge and unnatural desires. Of all the evil deities after spellplague, threat from Lolth, Asmodeus and Shar are the greatest ones in Neverwinter. Like her ancient sister who is the Moon and accessed elemental plane of fire to save Chauntea, Shar is even more powerful and was the first one able to access shadow plane, was able to create shadow-weave and seduce Netherese remnants to follow her. Even when her role in spellplague is well known, her indoctrination of Sharites makes them believe that spellplague was Mystra's fault.

Sseth - god
The Slitherer Supreme

Out of three deities of arcane magic(Corellon and Selune being other two), Sseth professes practice of arcane magic without any moral or regard to life. Most practitioners of darker arts or those who try to absorb the life force and arcane power of others, find a willing guide in Sseth. Yuan-ti follow him as their leader and deity - as do they follow his darker views towards arcane magic which includes unwilling sacrifices.

Talona - goddess
Mother of all Plagues

The goddess of plague, poison and disease. She lives in lands ever ridden by plague in a Palace called Plague Palace. Her followers believe death to be more powerful than life and attempt to spread disease, pain and death all over the lands. Vampires especially, worship her as it is known that she is privy to the secrets of the curse.

Zehir - god
Poison god

A new power in Toril who arrived just before spellplague, Zehir has many Yuan-ti followers. He works quietly and silently, but in a bold way and does not forgives failure.

The Demonweb Pits is the abode of Lolth. After Araushnee was defeated by Corellon, she was cast into Abyss and her beautiful body was turned to a monstrosity of spider. Constantly scheming even in the Abyss, Araushnee now known as Lolth (also Lloth) formed her own realms of The Demonweb Pits with a portal in Abyss. She now resides in Astral sea with her web-like construction called Demonweb Pits which she moves with her will sitting at the center.

Lolth - Greater god
Queen of Spiders

Queen of spiders and Queen of demonweb pits was once the consort of Corellon and he was smitten by her. However her hunger for power lead her to deceive and conspire against Corellon - a plot which failed. Corellon in turn, took away her beauty turning her into spider form and cast he to the abyss. She strengthened herself in and with time formed a realm of her own - the demonweb pit. Overtime she was able to woo dark elves - her former devotees and turn them into evil drow. With betrayals and murder she expanded her domain but gained many enemies in the process. She is feared by all te surface dwellers and feared by the underdark creatures too. Recently she was outwitted by Elistraee who foiled her plot to damn all drow when Elistraee sacrificed herself to save some drows as dark elves under the domain of Corellon.

Banehold, formerly called Gehanna, was always known for its sinister and inhospitable geography, After Black Lord took hold, the desolate lands have only become more evil. Bane resides here in center called the Black Bastion along with his consort Loviatar. His servant, the evil dragon god Tiamat roams the outer cavern of this plane and has formed liars full of shinies(treasures) and gruesome(dead bodies), as is the nature of every chromatic dragon. While Bahamut enjoys friendship and trust of Torm, Tiamat has to content with absolute obedience to Bane. His Exarchs have their own domains which they rule in these cruel lands.

Gates:-
There are no known gates to and from Banehold.

Residents:-

Bane - Greater god
the Black hand

The servitude or obedience of a banite to Bane is absolute. the Black Lord, the Black Hand, the Lord of Darkness. A mortal who became god, Bane was once thought to have been destroyed during times of troubles when all the deities were forced to walk on lands as mortals. However, Bane expected this and had his essence hid in Xvim his son. Soon when the time was right, Bane burst back to life literarily and figuratively speaking, and returned stronger than before with more followers. Spellplague has destroyed two of his foes - Mystra and Cyric. And power of Black Lord has increased manyfolds with goblin deities under his command along with Loviatar. The Banehold is his abode and the Black Lord of Banehold is the embodiment of tyranny, hatred and destruction. Mortals sworn to him - the banites - are sworn by an oath they must keep out of fear.

HAMSTER - Exarch
the Doombringer(Black hand)
&
Fzoul Chembryl - Exarch
Chosen High Priest of Bane
&
Maglubiyet- Exarch
the High Chieftain(black goblin)
&
Abbathor - Exarch
Great Master of Greed(sword with stones)
&
Hruggek - Exarch
the Bugbear god(Evil Mace)

Bane requires absolute obedience and no longer allows strife in his ranks. Among his exarchs are HAMSTER - the vengeful deity who demands repayment for every slight offense. A diety of true order was caught in a lock between Tyr and Bane to claim him. Bane wanted to corrupt him for his purposes while Tyr wanted to give purpose to his obedience to law by showing him that Law exists to preserve good. With Tyr's death, fate of HAMSTER was doomed with Bane. Fzoul Chembryl was well known for his role in resurrection of Bane. The Lord of Zhentarim was killed in a war with Netheril while defending his keep. Bane made him his Exarch and he now resides in Banehold. Zhentarim has fallen and only a few employed as mercenaries remain. The deity of goblins and hobgoblins - Maglubiyet has also submitted to Bane, he is still fighting against Gruumsh however. So has Hruggek, the deity of Bugbears - who wields and evil mace among defeated corpses of his foes in Banehold. Lastly, the dwarven diety of greed and envy - Abbathor has submitted to Bane too.

Loviatar - goddess
The Maiden of Pain

Bane's consort and Ilmater's enemy believes that the world is full of suffering so one should bear the pain and then inflict more on others and enjoy it. Unlike common conception her clerics are told not to kill Ilmater's clerics. They usually tie them up and then force them to watch as the clerics of Loviatar inflict pain and suffering on innocent people in front of their eyes in order to 'break' them.

Tiamat - goddess
the Dragon Queen

The queen of chromatic dragons and the archnemesis of any metallic dragon, Tiamat. It is said that her hate for Bahamut is a twisted expression of her desperate but unachievable lust for him. She is biding her time to consolidate her power as Bahamut has become stronger while she has suffered many losses. Her servitude to Bane is also a ruse just to become stronger once again and perhaps bring a new age of dragons to Toril.

Nishrek is the orc land shaped in orc ideals - habitable but rocky and tough terrain ravaged by war. Grummsh lives in Iron fortress with his Exarch Bhagtru and Obould. His mate Luthic live under his fortress in cavern in a male chauvinistic society. This is the anti-thesis of Warrior's Rest as orcs clash every night and then rise up to fight another night. They fight with dishonor and cruel tactics. They do not believe in diplomacy or tactics but pure bloodshed to win war because they believe that Grummsh will one day identify on of the winner tribe as his true children and hence the strongest. Shargaas and Vaprak live in their own domains.

Residents:-

Grummsh - Greater god
the On Eyed god

The One-eyed god, He Who Watches, He Who never sleeps. The orc patron deity is said to have lost his eye in his epic battle with Corellon but he denies that the battle had anything to do with the loss of his eye. He has been fighting the civilization since time immemorial. He is the god of destruction and is worshiped by brutal humans, orcs and half-orcs. He is the deity of pure destruction, plunder and raid.

First King of the Many Arrows Tribe

Shargaas is the orc deity of darkness, stealth and undead. He along with other orc deities like Bahgtru - the idiot but strongest(physically) deity, Vaprak the half-troll orc deity - all serve Grummsh loyally. Obould is perhaps the only mortal orc who became an Exarch after his death. The intellegent, King Obould I of Many-Arrows tribe is still revered among the many arrow tribe which has taken a stronghold in Neverwinter. They pray to Grummsh as he serves Grummsh loyally - in life and after death.

Luthic - goddess
the Cave Mother

Luthic the mate of Grummsh lives in caverns below the citadel. Her symbol means "home" in orcish and she looks over fertility and homely things orc women do in their tribe. She also represents complete servitude to orc god Grummsh. Even when limited by a male-chauvinistic orc society, her role in keeping it together and protecting the orc-homes is exceptional. As orc women of tribe are not allowed to wield weapons, she (when facing hostile adventurers or protecting homes) fights with claws or 'unmanly' magic.

The Dismal Caverns is the place elder eye went to after he was turned away by Lolth. Lolth used him for her own purposes and then spurned him calling him a monstrosity and not aesthetically pleasing. It is said Elder Eye is part of the Great Ooze itself and is currently the patron deity of all the monstrosities and abominations. Calling for sacrifice and destruction, he live in deep caverns where other monstrosities dwell, though they always hope never to cross the paths of the Elder Eye. Various dangerous fungii, whose mere touch can make a dragon swoon, also exist in the caverns but only a fool will attempt at securing such flora, for a chance of killing the dragon with toothpick is much higher than sneaking into The Dismal Caverns.

NOTES

[post=373521]Missing Deities[/post]
Btw, a few curses can be used in D&D form -

wtf? - What in the Nine Hells... ???!!! (very common usage)
Worse profanity .... - Cyric's Blood be cursed! (Used in NWN)

Similarly, a few devoutes can use other terms in their speech.
One can be creative, like Oghma's devout can say, "Interesting... let me bind it for future reference!"
or, "Eat the Bahamut's Rightful Wrath!"
"Don't be afraid, Kelemvor will judge you rightly"
"Tempus calls me!" - before battle

Or it can be what a cleric of each deity would tell him/herself to do every morning they wake up:-
Tempus devotee to Sune's:- "You are not worth it!"
Sune's to Tempus, "You destroyer of beauty!"
Loviatar's devout- : "Let's find Illmater's cleric, capture him ... and torture a few townsfolk in front of his eyes - Mwahahahaha"
Shar's devout: "I will kill a Selunite, today .... hehe and tomorrow"
Selunite : "A lycan on my watch? Impossible!"
Kelemvor : "Lets check if all bodies have obtained their well-deserved last rites."
Sharess : ... .... ..... ....... (I will leave it to your imagination )

Or even dogma can be used:-

"Pain and suffering!"
"Mortals are born to die!" (both as good and bad)
"Undeath will liberate you!"
"Attack the darkness!" - Selune
"The darkness will fall upon us, once again!" - Shar
"Lol" - Lolth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also grouped gods are together. So a person who prays to Sune can as well pray to Selune and vice versa. The prayers to lesser gods and Exarch usually go to greater god automatically. So praying to Malar will also send your prayer to Silvanus.

Also, non realms gods have a counterpart in realms -
e.g. Raven Queen == Kelemvor (both mortals and gods in charge of dead souls)
etc.
(there is an official list for FR conversion too somewhere)

Nicely done The only big surprise to me is the Tempus/Beshaba union. What source is this from?
(Always learning too)

Cyric was by far the most active god. I can't wait for him to get free again. His plots and murders are legendary

That bit is from FR Campaign book(where it talks about astral plane). I feel sad for Tempus. Perhaps Gagaros will replace him. Thats what happens to all who court her.

I don't think that will happen. He is by far one of the most powerfull gods I can't see anyone killing or tricking him...

Well... bad fairypoop happens! That what Beshaba is - bringer of bad fairypoop - no rather bad dragonpoop in her case.

I don't see like that. She gives badluck to thouse she does not like it's her power she can control it. It's not like she has an bad aura

iamtruthseeker

Looking at the history both are right. I'm not too familiar with her in 4E and the public info only goes up to 3E but here's what we have so far:

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition (1977-1988)

Beshaba first appeared within Dungeons & Dragons as one of the deities featured in Ed Greenwood's article "Down-to-earth Divinity" in Dragon #54 (October 1981). Beshaba is introduced as the Maid of Misfortune, Black Bess, and Lady Doom; she is the goddess of mischief, misfortune, ill luck, accidents, (treachery, betrayal), a chaotic evil lesser goddess from the Abyss. She is described as "a beautiful white-haired face, laughing hysterically. Ill fortune ... falls on those who behold her. Often, sure fire plans go awry, stout weapons or walls suddenly give way, and freak accidents occur to man and beast where Beshaba has been."[2]

Overview

Lady Doom, as she is also known, demands worship to keep her bad luck at bay. She is a Chaotic Evil Intermediate Power, whose symbol is black antlers on a red field, divine realm is Blood Tor on the 13th layer of the Abyss or in the Barrens of Doom and Despair in the 3rd edition Forgotten Realms cosmology, and Third Edition domains are Chaos, Evil, Fate, Luck, and Trickery. Her weapon is a "barbed" scourge, aptly named "Ill Fortune".

Worshipers

Beshaba is revered more out of fear, than out of religious faith. Beshaba's doctrine states that bad luck befalls everybody, and the only way to avoid it is by worshipping her. She is renowned for being spiteful and malevolent, and her priests manipulate common folk into revering and providing for them by acting mysteriously and playing on morbid fears. Their favored weapon are scourges.

Both of them (T and grant their luck but sometimes can influence events around them like an aura. How 4E is handling it I have no idea. But it's certainly possible that Ill fortune could befall Tempus and if there was one being who causes bad luck by being around them, it likely would be she!
