DIVINE MAGIC
The gods show their favor toward mortals in myriad
ways. A chosen few have their minds and souls opened
to the power of magic. There is no formula for who does
and doesn't receive this divine insight, as the gods keep
their own counsel concerning their selections. Some
who are favored seek to ignore or deny their gift, while
others embrace it wholeheartedly.
Some who display the potential for divine magic de-
velop and practice their abilities in a temple, a sacred
grove, or some other spiritual place, perhaps in the
company of other students. Other practitioners of divine
magic discover and nurture their gods-given power en-
tirely on their own.

THE GODS OF FAERUN

The gods that make up the pantheon of Faerun are

much like the population of some of the Realms' great-

est cities: an eclectic blend of individuals from a variety

of sources. The makeup of the pantheon has shifted

over the ages, as a result of changes in the Realms and

its people (or vice versa, depending on which scholars

you believe). The following pages describe the most

prominent members of the pantheon.

The deities of the Faerunian pantheon are by no

means the only powers worshiped in the Realms. The

nonhuman races have pantheons of their own (de-

scribed in chapter 3), and scattered other cults and local

divinities can be found across Faerun.
