Tablets of Fate

The Tablets of Fate were stone slabs on which the official portfolios of every one of the deities of Abeir-Toril were written. Bane and Myrkul stole the tablets from Ao and hid them in Faerûn, suspecting that some of the over gods power was derived from these tablets. When Ao discovered the Tablets of Fate were missing he summoned all the deities and asked for those guilty to hand them over, when noone stood forward to admit having stolen the Tablets, Ao cast down all the gods from the heavens, in the process taking their divine power. Lord Helm was tasked, by Ao, with guarding the Celestial Staircases which would lead the deities back into their divine realms, for this he retained his divine powers. Before the Avatar Crisis ended Bane and Myrkul were both slain, although Bane would return in 1372 DR.

Conceivably in the hands of a god with the inclination, these tablets could be used to make a god ultimate, absorbing all of the portfolios of every other deity with influence in Realmspace. Bane and Murkuls suspicion that some of Aos power lie in the tablets seems confirmed, as Ao appeared unable to recover the tablets himself.

The tablets are described as plain 2-feet tall clay tablets with the name and portfolio of every deity inscribed in glowing blue-white runes.
