Hi Ed. In the Realms, did you see any issue with characters of one alignment, say a good character following a deity with an evil alignment? Thanks! None at all. All sentient individuals in the Realms believe in ALL of the gods.
A paladin or cleric might have problems staying with their alignment if they devote themselves in service to a deity of a markedly different alignment.
Alignment works best as a DM guide.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 6, 2022
