The Faerûnian Pantheon

The Faerûnian pantheon was a pantheon of deities whose shared characteristics was the believers' shared geographic location, Faerun. 
This pantheon is the most widly worshipped to, with members from every race and civilisation offering tribute to one or more of the pantheons members. 

Hierarchy

The Circle of Greater Powers were the ones who led the pantheon. The leadership was a loose matter and was more of administrative nature. Apart from this, there was little hierarchy in the Faerûnian pantheon except for the one the gods created among themselves. A unique trait of the Faerûnian pantheon was that deities with similar portfolios clustered in a hierarchic relationship. The reason they did this, or to be more precise the reason why the highest deity did not just kill the lower-ranking ones and assumed their places, was surmised to be either a bargain where the lower-ranking deity helped the higher-ranking one at increasing its influence in return of protection, or blackmail where the higher-ranking one bullied the lower-ranking ones into giving them their divine energy and servitude. It was assumed that the exact nature of such arrangements varied with the personalities of the involved deities.
