Hill could not help glancing at the scenery on the giant screen.

If Ao was planning something as momentous as purging the Toril Gods... then he would not be interested in this world's twin-core sun.

Otherwise, a pantheon in chaos, compounded by perpetual day or eternal night, or even the two alternating... would be little different from rebooting Toril.

So, as Hill watched Selûne gazing with keen interest at Lathander trading verbal barbs with Amaunator on the giant screen... was that why she had not taken this matter all that seriously?

Although Selûne did not pay as much attention to events on Toril's lands as Tyr and Mystra did, she was not indifferent to this world.

She loved this lively world, which brought her endless amusement.

That was why Hill had always remembered how, when Midnight Mystra's repeated deaths caused Chult's seal to vanish unexpectedly, Dendar burst out into the world before anyone was ready and swallowed the sun outright, Selûne had gone to find another Eternal Fire to ignite a new star.

Her only regret was that, although Amaunator had lost the foundation of his existence, his presence was too powerful... the new sun could no longer give birth to a new Sun God.

Naturally, Lathander had been successfully tempted because the sun was no longer Amaunator's sun... if he had previously felt only a slight interest in becoming the Sun God, from that moment onward, the shackles upon him had fallen away completely.

Unfortunately, this had been Amaunator's scheme from the very beginning.

Lathander had forgotten that he was Toril's first light. Only after he appeared had the blazing sun come into being.

Amaunator could indeed be reborn through his body.

Of course, Ao must also have had a hand in it, perhaps by using the Fate Tablet
