Especially Talos. A short lesson in FR mythology is in order.
Gods in the Realms are not omnipresent. They can see things by walking around (granted, their senses are miles long, but that's not very important) or by having their attention drawn. This happens when a mortal speaks the god's name or title, or if something happens that is related to the god's portfolio (ie, Selune, goddess of the moon, can see anything that happens under the light of the moon. Eilistraee, goddess of good-hearted drow, would be able to sense a drow considering turning away from Lloth.)
Talos is notorious for being violent and unpredictable. Even an evil char would think twice before swearing alliegance to any god not their own... This would bring the god's attention, and certainly their wrath. And it would be obvious to almost anyone that the wrath of Talos would be swift and painful.
