"Worshipping Selune"
Why are people worshipping her/she?

Just look for it on your browser you would be very surprised it's an actual cult and it looks very creepy 💀

Well, to me, all religions worshiping a deity is just people with imaginary friend(s), so it's really the same thing.

Selune is based on an actual Earth goddess of the Moon the Greeks worshipped called Selene.

There may be neo-pagans worshipping Selene today, but not her made up fantasy/FR counterpart that Greenwood named Selune.

You're right, Hecate is far more reliable.

I see nothing creepy in Selune's worshipping (In FR) what seems to be the problem?

Beware though... Deities might be an imaginary thing but religions are not. They are real and have real consequences in the real world, sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes both.

Agreed.

No idea what the OP is talking about. It looks like Google's AI can't tell the difference between real and fictional religions, but that's no surprise.

Can an AI answer if Goku can beat Superman?

in D&D someone out there will worship just about anything if the entity in question will provide them with 'power' which ranges from a dragon giving a kobold a magic item to actual deities. There is a beholder cult, dragon cults ... liches and vampires have established if not worship they have "very devoted followers" and more. Its a cult if the entity is not recognized as an actual deity, in D&D terms. And that line is blurry, as many of the 'deities' were once mortals, and many of them have been killed or enslaved or kicked around during the times of troubles and other such. The religious side of FR specifically is a complete mess.

A high level caster with a charm spell and a few weak minded idiots can form a cult in a heartbeat, as seen by the absolute which is a similar approach just stronger magic via the tadpoles.

'Religions' are just cults that are recognized and most of them are even more dangerous then some janky backyard cult

He has already been forgotten, after he was defeated by the great god Mahkloompah.

The fact that they added them as an actual summonable ally at endgame if you command them to build you an army is beautiful. I did that my first run and was disappointed never seeing them again, but now it pays off, lol.

The Gods are real in DND... silly... If you had DEFINITE proof that God was real you'd be praying to him.
You can literally meet Lady Shar herself in this game...
