It would be more than 10 years before she would finally be freed by adventurers, revitalizing her clergy. Waukeen, lesser goddess of wealth, attempted to reclaim her divinity during the Time of Troubles, leaving her portfolio in the care of Lliira, but was imprisoned in the Argent Palace, enslaved to the demon prince Graz'zt.

But before Hoar could steal his portfolio, Ramman transferred it to Anhur of the Mulhorandi pantheon. Ramman, Untheric lesser god of war and storms, was slain by Hoar by having one of his thunderous lightning attacks repelled back at him.Moander, demigod of decay, was slain by Finder Wyvernspur.The absorption of caverns and the Underdark into Shar's portfolio has attracted the wrath of Lolth who desires dominion over these realms. Ibrandul, a lesser god of caverns, was destroyed by Shar, who still masquerades as the dead deity.Herne, a corrupted avatar of the Master of the Hunt worshiped in the High Forest, was hunted and killed by Malar who then subsumed his worship.Gilgeam, demigod and king of Unther, was slain by Tiamat.The Dragon Queen then destroyed Gilgeam late in the Godswar. Tchazzar consumed the other two and was subsumed by Tiamat. Her essence was divided among three dragons, the red Tchazzar, the blue Gestaniius, and the green Skuthosiin. Tiamat's three-headed incarnation was slain by Gilgeam.However, Bhaal had foreseen his own death, and had populated Faerûn with his progeny, the Bhaalspawn, in a bid to resurrect himself. What remained of his essence was absorbed by the Winding Water. - Bhaal, intermediate god of murder, was slain by the young mortal Cyric with the sword Godsbane.He was later resurrected by Ao because he died fulfilling the obligations of his portfolio. - Torm, demigod and patron deity of paladins, was annihilated by Bane with his dying breath.- Bane, greater god of tyranny, strife and hatred, a member of the Dead Three, was slain on Eleasis 13 in a climactic battle with the demigod Torm in battle outside of Tantras.- Mystra, greater goddess of magic and among the most powerful of the gods, was in turn destroyed when she attempted to bypass Helm at the Celestial Stairway.The following are deities who were killed or incapacitated during the Time of Troubles: Several deities were "destroyed" (see below) during this period. The Time of Troubles was a time of significant turnover among the gods of the Faerûnian pantheon. Third, the characteristically immortal and aloof deities were now vulnerable (though still devastatingly powerful) and dwelling among the civilizations of Faerûn. Second, arcane magic (a force channeled from the Weave by wizards and sorcerers) ceased to be regulated by its steward, Mystra, and became dangerously unpredictable. First, divine magic (spells granted to clerics by their patron deities) ceased to function altogether unless the cleric was within one mile of their deity's avatar. The immediate effects of this edict were threefold. This included the gods of pantheons far removed from Faerûn, such as the Kara-Turan pantheon and Maztican pantheon. Angry at the gods for their habitual pursuit of power and negligence toward their mortal faithful, Lord Ao relegated every god (except for the guardian god Helm, selected to protect the gates to the heavens ) to walk among their followers on the earth.

The Time of Troubles was precipitated by an attempt by the gods Bane and Myrkul to steal the Tablets of Fate from the overdeity Ao. Other names that this cataclysmic period was known by included the Arrival, the Avatar Crisis, the Godswar, the Time of the Avatars, the Fall of the Gods, and the Intervention of Ao. 3 Deaths, Ascensions, and Resurrections.
