User:SilverTiger12/Ancient empire pantheons

It is said that there were four ancient pantheons that merged to become the modern Faerûnian pantheon: the Netherese pantheon, the Talfiric pantheon, the Jhaamdathan pantheon, and the Coramshite pantheon.
 * The Netherese pantheon was worshiped in ancient Netheril. The deities that belonged to it were Mystryl, Jannath (later called Chauntea), Selûne, Shar, Amaunator, Jergal, Kozah (later called Talos), Moander, Targus (later called Garagos), and Tyche (who somehow split to become Tymora and Beshaba).
 * Of the Talfiric pantheon, only Tempus is known as a member; at the formation of the Faerunian pantheon he and Targus battled to determine who would be the god of war. The Talifiric pantheon as a whole was worshiped in the Western Heartlands.
 * The Jhaamdathan pantheon was worshiped in ancient Jhaamdath. It is implied to have been led/dominated by the god Auppenser; but Murdane was one of its minor members and Valigan Thirdborn was, presumably, briefly a member as well. This scholar further infers that Helm, lover of Murdane, was a also a member; and possibly Umberlee (who drowned Murdane) was as well.
 * The Coramshite pantheon was worshiped in Coramshan, the lands that later became known as the Lands of Intrigue.
 * No members are mentioned in manuscripts that this scholar can find, but Ed of Greenwood claims that ancient Calishites worshiped a group known as the Nine, including the following deities:
 * Anachtyr, god of justice, retribution, law, judgment, analysis, philosophy, order, wisdom.
 * Anachtyr is know a lesser-known name of Tyr; it was also stated by Ed of Greenwood that the Tyr of Faerun, is not the same as the Tyr of the Norse pantheon. From this I infer that Anachtyr took up the name Tyr when migrant humans brought that worship to the Realms, and the simpler name grew more popular (outside of the Lands of Intrigue) over time. This could explain the odd contradictions in myths about Tyr: the Norse god lost his hand to a great wolf; the Faerunian god lost his hand to Kezef.
 * Bhaelros, god of storms, natural destruction, wild beasts, hunting, impulsive spontaneity.
 * Bhaelros is, in modern day, another name for the god Talos. This scholar wonders whether Bhaelros was always Talos, or were they once different deities, with Bhaelros' name and worship usurped by Kozah/Talos?
 * Chassaura, goddess of agriculture and natural bounty, herblore, medicine.
 * Haruk, god of fire, the sun, war, gold.
 * Ilmater, god of suffering, self-sacrifice, pain, endurance and perseverance, punishment, healing.
 * Jaristra, deity of trade and travel, means of transport, taxation, wealth, logistics/storage/preservation.
 * Mraethra, goddess of hearth, nurture, the home, family, love, friendship, mothering and training.
 * Nalanrune, goddess of night, darkness, mystery, the moon, thievery and trickery.
 * Qistarr, deity of magic, both divine and arcane, but not “of nature”.
 * This scholar wonders how Varae and Ibrandul fit in, for the worship of both those deities also arose in the same region. Had Ed of Greenwood not spoken, I would have assumed them both to be minor members of the Coramshite pantheon.
 * There is, of course, the further question of what deities were worshiped in other ancient human empires: Narfell, Imaskar, and Raumathar? Certain records indicate that Narfell, at least, worshiped demons (or more specifically, the demon lord Orcus). And Imaskar may have abandoned worship in favor of irreligion at their height, but was that always the case?

After all this research, there is still many deities of the Faerunian pantheon whose origin is unknown. Where do Auril, Deneir, Eldath, Gond, Lathander, Leira, Lliira, Lurue, Malar, Mask, Milil, Nobanion, Sharess, Shaundakul, Shiallia, Siamorphe, Sune, Umberlee, Valkur, Waukeen, Ulutiu, Ubtao, Ibrandul, and Varae come from? Are Oghma, Silvanus, Mielikki, and Tyche truly interlopers, or they like Anachtyr-Tyr, ancient deities using an interloper's more popular name?
