Faerunian Deities
For the most part, the people of the Forgotten Realms worship a wide variety of gods and goddesses, and for good cause. The deities of the Forgotten Realms are not distant, disinterested powers. The gods and goddesses routinely send their avatars to the Realms to perform special tasks, for weal or woe to those who cross their paths. Most people regularly venerate several deities, hoping to gain favor over aspects of their lives which deities hold sway. In general, most people have one deity which they consider a patron deity, i.e., the deity who will usher them from beyond the mortal coil, through the City of Judgment, to their final resting place beyond the Astral Sea.
In Icewind Dale, the vast majority Ten Towners pay heed to the Faerunian Pantheon. The Dwarves of Kelvin's Cairn pay homage to the Dwarven Pantheon. The Reghed Tribesman venerate Tempus and their ancestral spirit totems.
