Are there any online resources out there for researching the gods of faerun (sp?), history, etc. I would like to RP a cleric, but I don't feel like I have enough background on the gods and I don't want to be made a fool IC.

This is a good start for base knowledge, but it doesn't go too deep; just scratches the surface. -
Could try here as well:

Remember though the infomation is not always 100% accurate but it should be enough to see you started espeacialy if you choose a well known God to follow.Currently playing:

Which god do you want to know about? I can copy down information from Faiths and Pantheons here for you.-Arcanist Josirah Caranos, Red Wizard of Thay

If you can get your hands on a old Hard back copy of Deitys and demigods from D&D (i still have mine) you would have a pretty good shot and the gods. Or a copy of the forgotten realms box set

You should check the Sundren fact, because they have the deities currently worshiped in Sundren and their domains. The DMs will ask you to change your character if your domains do not match the deity.Comment

Think that was changed to just perm killing if domains dont match the ones listed here. Just because so many people take stuff that makes no sence. Like people had Bane but domains of healing...

The website for CoA still has deity information posted from FR source books here.
Each deity has a dogma which can vastly help first time RPers or people new to FR.
One thing I noticed was that the Air domain was missing from Talos, while not cannon, the NWN implementation allows casting of lightning spells which make a lot of sense to have on a Talossan.Originally posted by ThePaganKing View Post
Also, Tiamat is not in that list, don't know if it was on purpose or not.Respen Moondown - Bard on a search for knowledgeComment

Problem is a lot of deities dont have their domains available at present. Even looking at the list on the forum some seem to only have one domain available to pick from if at all.Currently playing:

In that case, I'd like to think that it won't be so difficult just to pick something that fits with the deity as long as it makes RP sense - like Talos with air domain (not that I'm saying that it is allowed here, but an example).
Personally, I'm looking forward to the domain WTF NO CLUE being in the next expansion. I might even have to play a cleric of Hathor, whomever he is.Hathor (L) NG Good, WTF NO CLUERespen Moondown - Bard on a search for knowledgeComment

Hathor is a woman, with the head of a cow. She happens to the the Mulhorandi (Egyptian) Goddess of Motherhood (fertility). Domains include Family, Fate, Good, and Moon (only one of which is in Nwn2).
