Online and printed Deity Resources

A great online source for information on FR Deities and their faiths.

This site has many resources other than faith information it just takes some looking to find them.

This is rather specific, but this would be a great site for anyone wishing to RP a more farm-oriented Chauntean(IE ME! :P ) It is not D&D related, but it is said that Chauntea's dogma is a collection of agricultural sayings and whatnaught. It is rather extensive and long, as well.

As you may already know, Deities can take on pretty much any form they wish. But what form does each deity take most often? What's their favorites? Here's a site with pictures of the Deities as well as their symbols: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ag/20020628b
Remember, they may not always take these forms, but it does paint a good picture of them.

Pictures of priests/priestesses of all of the coded deities can be found here, as well as a lot of uncoded deities. It's not in English, but the names remain mostly the same.

Finally, the previous link has wonderful pictures of dwarven women with beards, pravo to the artist :) a very useful link with very interesting pictures...reminds me of paper dolls.

So.. I was googling today and stumbled onto a site with extensive extensive information on the church of Ilmater. Has information on the numerous sects of the faith as well as a list of saints and.. yeah, lots of stuff. Thought I should share the wealth. =)

I have (almost) all of the books myself and have done this in the past for several people, but I'll make the offer open to everyone. If you want some information on a particular deity or their church, I am always willing to help out and scan a few pages of a particular book, though I will say Velius' link two posts above is an excellent one that contains a ton of great information, it's all straight from the Faiths and Avatars book, which is in my opinion the best of the deity-related books, the most detailed and the most interesting.

Odd that none of the elemental lords, like Istishia, are listed under gensai faiths. One would think they would be popular among those with ties to those planes.

Useful background information for players new to Forgotten Realms and for those of us who remember the simplicity of 2nd ed ;)
