Hi guys.Does anyone know of any resoucings on the net that detail the chosen of the major (and minor) gods of the realms. I'm particularly interested in the Chosen for Lathander, Tempus, and Vecna....

Not every deity has a Chosen. In fact, I think if we could trun back the clock, we would have preferred that only Mystra had them, or more correctly, used the term "Chosen".

There are no official Chosen for either Lathander or Tempus.
In fact, if you read Tempus's entry in F&A, it would seem to set-up the Lord of Battles as a deity who is unlikely to have anything resembling a Chosen. This is because Tempus appears to show his favor for both sides in a conflict, or even the most valorous for example. As I see it, a Chosen on one side or another, during a conflict, would actually contradict established Tempuran dogma.
I've heard it said that the best model we've seen of a favoured servant of the Lord of Battles is Baergil's valiant sacrifice in All Shadows Fled. And I agree with that.

Indeed. Krash is definitely on the mark...
As I've said many times... I never lump Mystra's Chosen together with the rest of the now more apparent Chosen of deities in the 3e FR.
Part of why Mystra's Chosen are unique is because of their role. They balance out Mystra, and store some of her power in case it's needed. They're kinda like "loyal opposition" -- they are loyal to Mystra, but they are not controlled by her, and with them having some of her power, they can act in opposition to her if she gets out of control. They are also assistants of a sort; they work to further the spread of magic, but in a pinch, they can also help to maintain the Weave.
That is why Mystra has Chosen. That is why hers are special. Most of the other Chosen of FR deities, or rather... Divine Champions as I call them, are but pale shadows.
"Divine Champion" would work well enough for any. Or any other title of specialty that doesn't reflect a connection to the special nature of Mystra's own Chosen. There's virtually no basis for the connection between the roles of the other "Chosen" of the various deities and Mystra's Chosen -- so the titles should be different.
To make the Divine Champions of the other deities similar to Mystra's Chosen takes away the charm of the Chosen characters and makes their entire position in the Realms seem "usual".

Well perhaps I used incorrect terminalogy. What I meant is actually "foremost servant" to the Gods, not Chosen as in the Mystra-divine power sense.
For example, I think Elminster fits both roles. He has the divine power and he is Mysta's "favorit". Cadderly is Denier's, the Magister is Azuth's, Ervis cale is Mask's, Fzoul - Bane, Rivelin (or formerly Halaster) for Shar... You get my drift? I just assumed there would be a listing somewhere for atleast all the major Gods. |

Note: Victor never updated his list, so Chosen of Deneir : Malik el Sami yn Nasser is not a Chosen of Deneir but he is still a Chosen of Cyric.
And Dragons of Faerun tells us that Tchazzar is not a Chosen of Tiamat. It's just a title.
Furthermore, Chosen of Mielikki : Jeryth Phaulkon is not a Chosen of all three deities, she's only a Chosen of Mielikki. |

And for reference purposes, the only Chosen templates currently published are those for Mystra, Bane, Malar, and Deneir. The Chosen of Mystra is located in the FRCS -- pg. 247. The Chosen of Bane is referenced in Faiths & Pantheons -- pg. 213. The Chosen of Malar appeared in DUNGEON #129 as I recall. And the Chosen of Deneir is detailed at WotC, in the FR Novels archive.
In 2e, the three Chosen of Silvanus/Mielikki/Eldath are stat'd in the Vilhon Reach sourcebook, and some of Amlaruil's powers as the Chosen of the Seldarine are stat'd in the Evermeet sourcebook. And while we don't have their exact templates... Shuruppak has been stat'd in both 2e and 3e -- Powers & Pantheons and Epic Level Handbook respectively. Malik (2e) was covered in DRAGON #245. Qilue (2e) is detailed in the Heroes' Lorebook. Slarkrathel (3e) is stat'd in Lords of Darkness. Pil'it'ith (3e) is from Serpent Kingdoms. Also, Paul provided Cale's 3e stats here at Candlekeep.

| Ya can get a better Chosen of Mystra from Laeral's stats in the Waterdeep sourcebook because the FRCS version is missing some abilities that were added back in in Waterdeep. |

I'll note also that Erik Scott de Bie (Fox-at-Twilight's creator) confirms that she is a Chosen of Erevan - though he leaves it specifically vague as to just what abilities she has as a result of that status.

Greetings!
Yes Victor,DoF states "As the Dragon Queen's Chosen (which is currently nothing more than a title), Tchazzar is Tiamat's champion in Faerûn, unleashing his fearsome wrath on whoever draws her ire". [short excerpt taken from DoF,p.38 from the entry "Known Enemies"].
Farewell! |
Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil's pawn.
Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yeah, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land.
Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, for he is the harbinger of death. |

Yup, and I know this because I added him in my NPC file. :) It says it more then once in Dragon of Faerun, actually. |

I'm with you on this. I know some people like a lot of different Chosen for different deities, but I prefer them as something unique to Mystra. |

I haven't read the webstory yet, but neither the "The Greater Treasure" nor the recent novel featuring Twilight explicitly state that Twilight is a Chosen of Erevan. So going by what's "official", Twilight probably shouldn't be on that list. |

Are these truly the "favorites" of these deities, or just the ones we've seen in print? I don't think there is a way to determine who is--out of millions of people in the Realms--the "foremost favorite of a Deity". |

Actually in the third book, or in the second, I forgot where, it does say that Liriel is a Chosen because her rival says it. I helped make that list years ago and after talking to Elaine about it, I left it how I wrote it. I.E. she might be a Chosen or she might be a ExChosen. It's never been totally nailed down so I left it as vague as possible. |

Gods' mortal favourites is ineffable who-can-know? dancing-angels territory. But I dare say Bane doesn't give a damn about Fzoul and Azuth has no necessary affection for any Magister.
Petty, egotistical priests quarrel as to which of them is a god's foremost servant. Let's leave 'who's the greatest?' bickering to them.
I believe Erik about his character. Whether it's actual, likely or potential 'canon' is no concern of mine. |

How do we know that person was correct? Besides, don't drow lie all the time (I recall that the rival in question was a drow)? That's kind of what I was getting at when I said the novel doesn't explicitly say that Liriel is/was a Chosen of Lolth. Just because people are speculating about something doesn't mean that "something" is true.
Not a big deal though. *shrug* |

I believe him too, and I personally am not especially concerned with what's "canon" and what isn't, but I DO believe in being consistent. |

How do we know she isn't incorrect either, we don't. Which is, again, why I wrote it the way I did. She might be, or she might not be. It covers both bases. I didn't pull this out of the air, I discussed it more then once with Elaine and the way it's written for the list covers both sides of the issue.
Really have no idea why this is even being debated. |

Well, for your information, I read your statement the wrong way, sorry. I wasn't trying to start a huge argument or anything.

Well, Erik told me that Ed gave his tale the 'thumbs up', so I'm assuming Ed didn't see anything wrong with status of Twilight as the Chosen of Erevan. He supports it.

I really think this depends on how you read "Depths of Madness". In some of the Book Club [or was it in his 'Questions' scroll] discussions regarding Twilight's status, Erik tell us that he established a pretty strong connection for the "special" relationship that exists between Twilight and Erevan through several passages in the book. And that's mostly what I thought when I read through them myself.
That's enough for me to believe that Twilight does in fact enjoy a unique status of sorts among Erevan's faithful, and that Erik will elaborate further on that status if and when he has the opportunity to do so. And so long as it isn't contradicted by WotC in future FR source material, 'tis likely to remain that way.

There's nothing official. Though Erik, a couple of weeks ago, provided an interpretation of Twilight on his blog -
"Fox-at-Twilight is roughly: CN moon elf female rogue 3 / swashbuckler 2 / uncanny trickster* 3 / shadowdancer 4 / divine seeker 4
* This being from Complete Scoundrel. Her 2 class features increases are in Swashbuckler and Shadowdancer."

Ok I had to Necro-Thread this cause I remember there being a huge thread on homebrew Chosen stats for various deities in the Realms on the WotC Forums.
However, that thread has long been gone.
Did anyone happen to archive what was left of that thread? Hoping to see someone's homebrew Chosen of Ubtao. |

Its kind of funny, because rescently the forgotten realms underwent an explosion of Chosen, then most of the Chosen stopped being a Chosen because the Gods desided to speak up and didn't need so many Chosen.
Aside from the usual Chosen of Mystra, Drizzt is thr Chosen of Lloth and Miliekki, The Farideh and Havilar are Chosen of Asmodeaus, The was a Chosen of Ilmater who helped librate Calimshan, there was an assortment of Chosen in the Sundering novels.
Oh and the Mulhorandi Gods are inhabiting they're Chosen. |
