Colldria, as a continent on Toril, shares the same divine pantheon as Faerûn. The world is shaped by active, interventionist gods—deities who grant power directly, manifest avatars, and influence mortal affairs openly. Worship is typically situational and pluralistic, with individuals praying to different gods as needed, while clergy and champions devote themselves wholly to one.
Mystra — Lady of Magic
Portfolio: Magic, the Weave
Alignment: Neutral Good
Expanded Notes:
Mystra is the living embodiment and regulator of the Weave, the invisible lattice through which all arcane magic flows. Every spell cast is shaped through her domain, making her arguably the most cosmically essential deity. When Mystra falters, magic destabilizes—becoming wild, unpredictable, or catastrophic. She fosters magical progress but imposes unseen boundaries to prevent reality’s unraveling. Her Chosen act as anchors of magical stability, bearing fragments of her divine essence.
Lathander — The Morninglord
Portfolio: Dawn, Renewal, Birth, Creativity
Alignment: Neutral Good
Expanded Notes:
Lathander represents hope, rebirth, and the promise of a better future. His followers rebuild what is broken—cities, institutions, even ideals. However, his forward-looking zeal can become destructive when it rejects tradition too readily. He is a fierce enemy of undeath, seeing it as a perversion of the natural cycle of renewal.
Tyr — The Just God
Portfolio: Justice, Law, Righteous War
Alignment: Lawful Good
Expanded Notes:
Tyr is justice uncompromised. His doctrine demands fairness even when it is harsh, emphasizing that law must protect the innocent above all else. His missing hand, sacrificed in battle against evil, symbolizes that true justice requires personal cost. His clergy act as judges, magistrates, and moral arbiters across civilizations.
Torm — The Loyal Fury
Portfolio: Duty, Loyalty, Sacrifice
Alignment: Lawful Good
Expanded Notes:
Torm embodies unwavering service. Where Tyr judges, Torm obeys—championing loyalty to rightful authority and righteous causes. His followers are paragons of discipline, often forming elite knightly orders. To Torm, sacrifice is not tragedy but fulfillment of purpose.
Ilmater — The Crying God
Portfolio: Endurance, Suffering, Martyrdom
Alignment: Lawful Good
Expanded Notes:
Ilmater teaches that suffering can be borne so others need not endure it. His clergy are healers, protectors of the downtrodden, and willing martyrs. He opposes cruelty in all forms, yet allows hardship to reveal truth before intervention. His faith is quiet but profoundly resilient.
Chauntea — The Great Mother
Portfolio: Agriculture, Fertility, Growth
Alignment: Neutral Good
Expanded Notes:
Chauntea is the sustainer of life and harvest. Her worship is deeply practical, tied to survival, cycles, and nourishment. She represents harmony between civilization and the land, opposing both reckless expansion and neglect. Her faith is the backbone of agrarian societies.
Selûne — Our Lady of Silver
Portfolio: Moon, Stars, Navigation, Hope
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Expanded Notes:
Selûne is light in darkness—guiding travelers, sailors, and the lost. She is ancient and compassionate, offering hope even to those who have fallen. Her eternal conflict with Shar defines much of divine cosmology: hope versus oblivion. Her followers are empathetic but unyielding in belief.
Sune — Lady Firehair
Portfolio: Love, Beauty, Passion
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Expanded Notes:
Sune celebrates beauty as a force of meaning and connection. Her faith values art, romance, and emotional truth, but rejects obsession or control disguised as love. She teaches that beauty must be nurtured, not possessed.
Helm — The Vigilant One
Portfolio: Guardianship, Protection
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Expanded Notes:
Helm is the eternal watcher, embodying duty without compromise. He does not question orders once given—only ensures they are carried out. His followers are guards, sentinels, and wardens who value vigilance above all. He stood firm even during divine upheaval, earning both respect and isolation.
Silvanus — Old Oak Father
Portfolio: Wild Nature, Balance
Alignment: True Neutral
Expanded Notes:
Silvanus is the raw force of nature—growth and destruction alike. He is indifferent to morality, focusing instead on balance. Civilization that overreaches will be culled. His followers are often druids who act as agents of natural correction.
Mielikki — Lady of the Forest
Portfolio: Forests, Rangers
Alignment: Neutral Good
Expanded Notes:
Mielikki promotes harmony between mortals and wilderness. She is a gentler counterpart to Silvanus, favoring coexistence over destruction. Rangers, wanderers, and guardians of the wild commonly follow her.
Tempus — Lord of Battles
Portfolio: War, Battle
Alignment: True Neutral
Expanded Notes:
Tempus embodies war in its purest form—valor, skill, and chaos. He does not favor sides, only the conduct of battle itself. Cowardice and treachery offend him more than violence.
Oghma — Binder of What Is Known
Portfolio: Knowledge, Inspiration
Alignment: True Neutral
Expanded Notes:
Oghma values knowledge in all forms—recorded, shared, and preserved. His temples serve as neutral repositories of truth, even dangerous or forbidden knowledge. Ignorance, not evil, is the greatest threat in his doctrine.
Deneir — Lord of All Glyphs and Images
Portfolio: Writing, Glyphs, Scholarship
Alignment: Neutral Good
Expanded Notes:
Deneir focuses on the written word as a sacred act. Knowledge must not only exist—it must be preserved clearly and truthfully. His followers are scribes, historians, and archivists.
Kelemvor — Lord of the Dead
Portfolio: Death, Afterlife
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Expanded Notes:
Kelemvor ensures death is fair, final, and free of fear. He judges souls without cruelty or bias, opposing undeath as a corruption of natural order. His clergy are gravewardens and guides of the dead. His worship is dominant in the Mortarchate of Ashur-Rem.
Bane — The Black Hand
Portfolio: Tyranny, Fear
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Expanded Notes:
Bane represents domination through structure. He teaches that control—political, social, or personal—is the ultimate form of order. His followers build empires, enforce hierarchy, and rule through fear.
Bhaal — Lord of Murder
Portfolio: Murder
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Expanded Notes:
Bhaal’s influence persists through cults and bloodlines. Murder is not chaos to him—it is deliberate, ritualized, and sacred. Every killing strengthens his lingering presence.
Myrkul — Lord of Bones
Portfolio: Death, Decay
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Expanded Notes:
Myrkul rules through fear of mortality. He represents the inevitability of decay and the terror of oblivion, encouraging despair and submission to death’s shadow.
Shar — Mistress of the Night
Portfolio: Darkness, Loss, Secrets
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Expanded Notes:
Shar offers escape from pain through emptiness and forgetting. She is seductive and subtle, drawing followers into isolation and nihilism. Her eternal opposition to Selûne defines her existence.
Lolth — Queen of Spiders
Portfolio: Deceit, Drow
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Expanded Notes:
Lolth thrives on chaos, betrayal, and dominance. Drow society reflects her nature—cruel, hierarchical, and unstable. Strength is proven through treachery, and trust is a liability.
Talos — The Storm Lord
Portfolio: Storms, Destruction
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Expanded Notes:
Talos embodies raw, destructive force—storms, earthquakes, and natural disasters. He is worshipped out of fear more than devotion, with followers seeking to unleash or survive his wrath.
