Do you think the Sundering would have resulted in an uptick in worshippers of Talos or supplicants to his doomsayer priests? It resulted in more folks all over the Realms making offerings/praying to try to appease Talos, but most folks ran and hid from doomsayers (the relatively few priests who survived temples collapsing on their heads). Folk in the Realms worship ALL the gods, not one.#Realmslore

The SCAG mentions travelling Talos priests who warn of disasters and ask for offerings (“accept charity”) in exchange for Talos’ protection. It’s a bit mafioso, but would those priests have had better luck soliciting those offerings during the Sundering you think? Oh, yes. Some sufficiently terrified folk who have no ties to a spot (no home or job or kin left) might even try to tag along with a priest of Talos, assuming the priest's personal protection will extend to them if they stay close enough.#Realmslore
