Pages 8 and 9 of the Classes section, in the Gods and Tenets boxes, they mention not only Helm, but also Lathander and not Amaunator. Just thought I'd bring it up, so make of that what you will.

| I really hope it's not confusion, otherwise we could be in for a big surprise when 5e is finally unveiled. I'm guessing that it is very purposeful. |

| Perhaps Lathander will re-emerge from Amaunator, or Amaunator will be revealed to be an alias, instead of a separate deity. |

| Personally, I hope it's an alias. Lathander is one of me favorite deities. |
I have a dream that one day, all game worlds will exist as one. |

| I'd prefer they be two separate deities. Maybe Lathander got accidentally shunted to Abeir, so when Amaunator came back he just pretended to be Lathander to get all his worshippers. |

Honestly, it sounds like planning errors that reached the publication stage, and that they need a coordinating editor.

He's one of my favorite, too. And I've never liked the tripartite sun deity idea. |

| I hope that Amaunator and Lathander are interchangable depending on player Ethos. I don't forsee thr FR sun-deity forsaking prayers because one guy uses Lathander while another says Amaunator. |

Unlikely, as there is no such thing in the realms as Kratos  |
The driving force in the multiverse is evil, for it forces good to act. |

No, itīs an aspect of Garl Glittergold
Jokes aside, Bane is not an aspect of anyone. Ed Greenwood created him to be similar to Druaga, that is true, but that does not mean that Bane is an "aspect" of it. |

People should remember divine aspects are apart of a God, but paradoxically they are also seperate people with thier own personalities with thier own adgendas.
That's why Gilgamesh for example didn't want any incarnations, which is just an aspect that is mortal, because they might choose Good instead of Evil, in essence rejecting Gilgamesh and his plans.
Another example Gruumsh and Talos. Gruumsh hates Arcane Magic, Talos wants to be God of Magic, yet Talos is an aspect of Gruumsh, an aspect powerful enough to be a greater power in his own right but an aspect never the less.
Hanalili Celani is an Aspect of Sune's yet also rival and ally.
Heck in Durpri theology all the Gods are just Aspects of the Adma.
IRL people are like this too its just not as obvious except in cases of Multiple Personality Disorder. |
