Deities

Faerûn is influenced by beings of great power, referred to as gods or deities. Ao the Overgod is the most important of them, for he rules over all other deities, even though he has few worshippers. Except for Ao, every deity's power is directly connected to how many people worship them.
Like in most of the Forgotten Realms, the gods also play a vital role throughout the Baldur's Gate series, most notably the dead god of murder Bhaal, whose children – the Bhaalspawn – are the center of the story.
