Time of Troubles

Belose · Post by **Belose** » Tue May 04, 2004 12:26 pm

I am over halfway finished with Waterdeep from the Avatar Trilogy and noticed something important. In the trilogy, it talks of Ao casting the Gods from the planes and making them find avatars. But all the Gods mentioned are those of the Human Pantheon... what about all the Demi-human Gods? Did the other races suffer from no prayers or weave disruption? In all the books I have, I haven't seen anything covering this, not even in the Forgotten Realms Campaign set, and I keep wondering how the other races coped with the Times of Troubles...

EVERY god was cast to the prime material plane. Though not all have been said as to where they went. The only god I can recall at the moment is Gond. He washed up upon the shores of Lantan and in thanks for their care he taught them smokepowder(*gasp*Gnomes with smokepowder?!? Noooooooo!). Thats also the main reason that gond is a gnomish deity as well as a human one currently I beleive.

I got a great site for you! It oulines the wereabouts of certain gods during the Time of Troubles and gives leverage to the mystery of some that were not present.

In the ToT, all gods were tossed out on their devine rumps (save for the big guy ordered to keep the others out). Unfortunately, the trilogy mention could only account for certain deities related to the story. Personally, I think books on what, where, ect about the other deities during this time would be a nice read. but I have yet to hear about any been written.

The old Forgotten Realms comic book series had a great episode where the avatars of Clangeddin Silverbeard and Labelas Enoreth go head to head over something (can't remember what the something was, been awhile), during the time of troubles. Labelas won, which I thought was lame.

I also just realized after posting, that HELM was NOT cast from the planes, so therefore all of his clerics should have been able to call on him for their prayers... What about THAT?!?!?!

I am clueless when it comes to this. But I wanted to know if anyone knew where to get the comic books that Krinus spoke of?

Check ebay, or your local comic book store, they'll know.
There were two series, one was FR, the other was just called Advanced Dungeons&Dragons, and both were awesome. The characters from the two would sometimes mix in each others series, but it was done well.

Sweet storylines, and Selune has an avatar of hers as one of the main characters in the FR series, as the owner of a tavern, called Sylunes Smile I think.
My bro owned every one, and there was quite a few of them, back in the early 90's, but lost them all to a storage facility that sold all his stuff due to him not paying the rental fee.

Well then my friend, you had better get a copy of all these as well, as I think this series was the better of the two, and yes, it takes place in the Realms.
