Deities

Clerics choose a deity at level 1 during character creation. The choice grants no mechanical advantage; it changes dialogue and how some characters treat you.

• BahamutThe Angel of the Seven Heavens is the dragon god of justice. His ideals of mercy and just authority keep him locked in an inexorable rivalry with his sister, Tiamat.
• Corellon LarethianCreator of the elves, Corellon Larethian oversees the elven pantheon as a whole, providing blessings to those who study art, magic, and nature.
• EilistraeeEilistraee is the goddess of good-aligned drow, beauty, song, and freedom. The Dark Maiden desires balance between all races, and struggles against her mother Lolth's corrupt aims.
• Garl GlittergoldThe Watchful Protector is the king of gnomish gods - a deity of humour, gem-cutting, protection, and trickery.
• GruumshThe One-Eye is the orcs' patron deity - a god of war, conquest, and victory at all costs. He has held an ancient and immutable grudge against the elven pantheon since Corellon Larethian took his eye.
• HelmThe Watcher is an eternal sentry among the gods, representing guardians across the planes. After more than a century of fading worship, Helm's power was restored with the Second Sundering.
• IlmaterThe Crying God protects the oppressed and persecuted. His clergy is sworn to alleviate suffering, even if that means taking on that pain personally.

• LathanderThe Morninglord is the god of the dawn and spring, of birth and beginnings. He is invoked to christen both new ventures and new life. His followers embrace growth and renewal, and despise the undead.
• LolthThe much-reviled matriarch of the drow pantheon, Lolth holds sway over spiders, the Underdark, and the wicked creatures of the Demonweb Pits. Her primary goal is to corrupt all drow, transforming them into heartless cultists.
