Talk:Zehir

The 5e dungeon master's guide identifies Zehir with Set, on page 11 ("A Sample Pantheon"). It's not realms-specific, and I don't know what Set was doing as a Mulhorandi deity during 4e (or, for that matter, what Zehir was doing), but it is plausible and this contextualizes his actions in the NWN2 expansion as a bid to take over openly as god of the yuan-ti rather than impersonating the imprisoned Sseth (and explains why he was able to take over the yuan-ti with so little resistance from other deities). 73.221.254.201 00:02, January 2, 2016 (UTC)

Timeline Question
How can Set/Zehir have come to Toril around the time of the Spellplague 1385, if he was already there in 1374, planning to take control of the Chultan Peninsula and the Sword Coast North? Or am I just being obtuse and by "around the time" they mean before'ish or after'ish... AshRandom79 (talk) 22:09, July 15, 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't know how they came up with the date of 1374 DR for the Neverwinter game, but assuming that is correct, then the statement is poorly worded, but fairly close in historical terms. As far as I know, Zehir first appeared in 4th-edition related material and "4e = Spellplague" so "around the time" is around 1385 DR. Considering that the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide is set in 1479 DR (over 100 years later) and calls Zehir an interloper god, I'd say that "give or take a decade" could be applied to his first entry into the Forgotten Realms. Barring finding any sources that are higher in the canon hierarchy that we follow, I think that 1374 DR is a better estimate of Zehir's arrival, but still an estimate. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:45, July 16, 2018 (UTC)
