Common Dieties In Voswiadul
Lathander
God of dawn and renewal. He was worshiped whenever something began, be it a new business, marriage, or entire community. Lathander rose in popularity after The Blink and is now best known as the Deity of the Keepers Of The Sun.
Chauntea
The goddess of agriculture. Popular amoung farming families who settled on the island shortly after the Blink, dealing with the challenge of returning the land to fertility. Disliked by the Druids of Ashscrub Grove who feel that too often Chauntea takes credit for their work.
Kelemvor
The judge of the dead, who sends their souls to their final destinations. His followers task themselves with three duties. Preparing people for death by ordering their affairs, prevent things that prevent people from dying naturally, and destroying undead. He remains popular on Voswiadul, especially amoung The Blind, since problems with undead remain common in The Old World.
Jergal
Jergal was a god who worked as Kelemvor's scribe. People who directly prayed to him were rare except by those who had the custom of putting parchment with the dead's name on it into his or her mouth.
Mielikki
Mielikki was the goddess of forests. She was rarely prayed to, even by rangers whom she patronized. She was viewed as protector of good people in her terrain, for example, people who were looking for children who got lost in forests prayed to her for their protection until found. Popular in Wolfurd.
Milil
Milil was the god of poetry and song. He was the patron of bards and entertainers of all stripes prayed to him.
Selûne
Selûne was the goddess of the moon. She was worshiped by three groups of people. First, by women in her function as a mother goddess who held sway over reproductive cycles. Second, by navigators and sailors in her function as a goddess of navigation. Third, by people who needed some form of protection or guidance in darkness
Talona
Talona was the goddess of poison and disease. She was held responsible for all kind of negative matters that involved disease and poison like crop failings. This made her one of the most invoked deities but invoking her was mostly done as appeasement and her regular worshiper-base was small.
Waukeen
Waukeen was the goddess of trade. Her worshiper-base consisted of people who engaged in trade including in illegal ones like smuggling. They saw a virtue in creating business opportunities, which was why they were not on good footing with guilds and monopolies.
