Test your geekiness, how many can you recognise just by their pic or symbol? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That's pretty cool, though there are some missing...I would have liked to see Corellon...(god of the elves). It is pretty interesting to see the how the gods are portrayed. Though didn't Mystra and Waukeen disappear during the time of troubles? Or was it just Waukeen? Ugh, a bios would have been excellent! Is there anywhere where you can actually get a bios?

EDIT:Oh, and I haven't even heard of some! I mean, who on earth is Malar? Or Kelemvor? Or Kossuth? Or Shaundakul? Or Umberlee? LOL, that's a few I don't know.

Oh, and Uthgar isn't really a deity, is he? I thought he was just the hero of the Uthgar barbarians...

I think there are temples of Umberlee in BG2.

I recognize each god and goddess by their symbol.. BOYAA

BTW Malar is an evil shapechangers god, Umberlee is the evil goddess of storms Kelemvor is the god of the dead, Kossuth is the god of fire or magic (or magical fire) and Shadukal is a god of nature.

All of them, so I guess I'm right up top of the list...

Mystra died, but the mortal wizard Midnight took her place and kept the same name. Waukeen was imprisoned, but was freed. Malar is the beastlord, god of hunting, bloodlust, and evil lycanthropes. Kelemvor is god and judge of the dead. Kossuth is god of fire. Shaundakul is the god of travel and portals. Umberlee is goddess of the oceans (known as the Bitch Queen since she embodies the more chaotic and destructive aspects of the ocean). Uthgar was a hero of the barbarians who ascended to godhood; he's their patron and god of physical strength.

Pretty sad I can rattle them off like that...

All of them, and then some. And I am NOT proud of this.
By the way. Shandakul isn't the god of nature, he's the god of wind. The god of nature portrayed there is Silvanus.
Tis a shame I wasn't around when Six's first BG2 trivia game came out... I just took it on the archives, and I got a damn good score.
Ah well...
