Portfolio A portfolio was a list of things that all true deities possessed . The portfolio of a deity determined the area of interest that it both represented and had power over . Ideas , emotions , races of creatures , schools of magic , and other topics related to mortal existence could all become part of a deity ' s portfolio . Nature of divine portfolios . Quasi - powers such as archfiend s did not have a portfolio , and an entity had to have divine power equivalent to a demigod in order to gain one . Deities could only have a portfolio with things found on the portfolio of another deity in the same pantheon if either of those deities was a demigod . If this was the case , only one of those deities could become a god of greater power , and the other would remain a demigod until the greater rival was cast down , no matter the devotion or number of their worshipers . Gods in different pantheons were exempt from this restriction . The gods of Toril were restricted to certain areas of influence . Outside of that area , different gods could reign with exactly the same portfolio topics as a god in another area . An example of this would be Zaltec and Tempus — both gods with a portfolio including war , but Zaltec was a god of Maztica while Tempus was a god of Faerûn . Portfolios could usually only be altered upon the death , resurrection , or otherwise major disruption of the life of a deity of a certain pantheon , such as during the Time of Troubles . Many deities gained the portfolios of others that they had personally killed , though this was not always the case . Power - hungry deities frequently pretended to be dead gods who still had worshipers , in the hope of gaining their portfolio — an act known as ' subsuming ' . Powers granted by a portfolio . Gods gained more control over things related to their portfolio depending on their level of power . A deity automatically sensed events occurring in relation to their portfolio , though the weaker the power of the deity , the more mortals had to be involved in the event for them to sense it . A god could then experience the event remotely without needing to send an avatar to get directly involved . They could also attempt to block the ability of another god to do the same , but only if that god was less powerful . A deity was always more powerful when working to influence the world in relation to aspects of their portfolio — they could perform some tasks instantly , enact more powerful magic , and they found it easier to multitask .

The town of Winterhaven was founded nearby , likely for the keep ' s protection . It was said that some time after Shadraxil ' s banishment , Keegan became a crazed madman and slew all of his family and friends , cursing the keep forever .

The leaders of Cormyr , afraid that this dark influence could be corrupting , ordered the keep torn down and its secrets hidden . They slew a young shadow dragon , claimed it was Shadraxil ' s corpse , and buried in a fake dragon burial site southwest of Winterhaven . For years , rumors persisted of great treasures buried beneath the keep , yet few dared to explore it . Sir Keegan ' s ghost was said to roam the corridors beneath the ruins , wailing in grief over the tragedy of his life .
