What’s Torm’s current status as a god? In the 4E Realms he was a Greater God. Is he still at that level, or did he cede his power to Tyr when he returned?— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 2, 2020
1)
Torm certainly seems to be a greater god in the 1490s DR, and his clergy claim that status for him.
Yet mortals can almost never know the true power of any deity, unless they are very weak, for it consists of influence… 2)
…and deterrence as well as sheer might. And truth is an elusive and frail bird, even from the lips of the divine—and ESPECIALLY from the mouths of their clergy (who ‘spin’ as a matter of course).#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 2, 2020
