Kara-Tur deities

[DOT]

Are clerics a thing from this region of forgotten Realms? It seems more group worship as opposed to individual deity worship. I started digging into this after I noted there was no domain information available. Below alignments and domains are just how I interpret the lore, not set in stone or approved by any means.

“ Worship
In Kara-Tur, belief in the Celestial Empire was very strong. The Celestial Emperor had appointed each of his Immortals to oversee all the relevant matters, and humans were expected to call to the appropriate Immortal. He had also organized the Celestial Court to handle trivial matters like speaking with humans. No one prayed directly to the Emperor; daring to call directly to him was seen as an act of utter impudence, one that would be answered with thunder and lightning.”

I’m just shooting the breeze here but thought maybe it could be frc specific and translated as follows so it vibes with server rules for players to follow?

Under The Path, the Celestial Emperor and the Celestial Bureaucracy...

The 9 Immortals / 9 Great Dragons
“ Their duty was to embody an ideal of the Path—one of the nine core virtues of Artistry, Compassion, Courage, Fidelity, Honor, Karma, Love, Respect for Tradition, and Scholarship—and so teach by way of example:

Ai Ch'ing: goddess of love and marriage
-lawful good: healing and fire
Chan Cheng: god of bravery, combat, martial arts, and war
-lawful neutral: war and knowledge and destruction
Ch'en Hsiang: god of literature, music, and poetry
-Lawful neutral: knowledge and air?
Chih Shih: god of history, lore, and tradition
-lawful neutral: knowledge and protection
Fa Kuan: god of justice
-lawful neutral: strength and knowledge
Hsing Yong: god of fortune and prosperity
-lawful neutral: knowledge and travel
Kwan Ying: goddess of compassion, joy, and mercy
-lawful good: good and sun
Nung Chiang: god of agriculture and fertility
-lawful neutral: plant and animal and earth
Shu Chia: god of artificers and the arts
-lawful neutral: magic and knowledge


There’s more breakdown and I wouldn’t say that it’s end all be all , just thought it might be an interesting friendly group discussion even if it doesn’t amount to anything set in stone

You can make liberal use of the search function in the top bar of the forums. You'd be amazed at what you can find.

Here's a very relevant DM Q&A, which is easily found.

Was sorting through the search weird that I missed this. Would a char get penalized if the types in a Kara tur faith? Does that count as faithless per last post since it holds no sway on this side of Toril?

You cannot play a deity-based class, but a character can have any faith they'd like. If you're asking about references to things like the wall of the faithless, I'm not entirely sure how that works on cross-realm things. As there -are- planar pathways between the regions, maybe Kelemvor would send faithful to their respective paths like that.
