Within the campaign setting, deities like those found in the Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk do not exist. The gods are more removed from mortal affairs for both personal and historical reasons, their influence generally more subtle and their domains more broad. Even their true names are unknown, if they exist at all. As such, each of the gods has many names, used by different peoples all over the world.
