I think some mythologies stated that faithless people or apostates would wind up wandering outside the realm of the afterlife, alone and forlorn forever. If you think about it, that's pretty harsh--no other company for all of eternity? *yeesh*
No, the Forgotten Realms were set up by Lord Ao, especially after the Time of Troubles, to take care of their faithful, many of whom were being ignored by the gods. In return, their power is directly a result of faithful followers.

Yeah, this is prolly why I made the assumption. I do indeed think I have heard some similiar themes in more than one mythos over the years. No walls of the faithless, but purgatory concepts for unbelievers etc. Was just making sure.
And yeah Memnoch, the ss is from NWN 2 MotB. Great story, clunky gameplay but that Xpac is worth the trouble if you need an FR fix badly.
