1) The Forgotten Realms is a world of many, many deities who are very real to mortals living in the setting. No one has to have faith to “believe in” the gods, because their avatars sometimes walk among mortals, they manifest (show tangible signs of their presence).. #realmslore

@TheEdVerse Question regarding the gods of the forgotten realms: what is the scope of their focus into the lives of mortals? I love utilizing the divine, but outside of my upbringing in the church and I dont have a good idea for evident and present dieties.

The similarity of the names of Liira and Leira is curious to me (especially when I say them out loud) is there something about the transience and illusory nature of joy and happiness bound between these goddesses? Or am I just a cynical humbug?

No, the reason the names are similar is that the goddess of deception wanted to "steal worship" from the goddess of joy through deception. #realmslore
