Editing Nobanion (section)

==History==
Nobanion is an interloper deity to Faerûn, though not much is known about his origin world other than ancient texts referring to him as ''Aslan'', which potentially makes him the primary god of Narnia, and therefore also [[What|Jesus]]. Though since "Aslan" is a Turkic word for "lion" it may mean absolutely nothing at all.

Nobanion entered Faerûn in the Weathercote Wood from one of the magical pools that led to other Prime Material worlds and wandered Toril for about a century before making his realm in the Gulthmere Forest with a pack of Lammasu. Possibly giving rise to the in-universe theory that he is the father of all Lammasu in the Realms.

In early 2E days, he was pretty cosy with [[Lurue]] to the point that both religions were practically inseparable and were referred to under the catch-all terminology of '''Beast Cult''', though they remained distinct from other "beast cults" such as those of the [[Uthgar]] tribes since they were both deities in their own right, rather than being powerful spirits. He was also friendly with [[Sharess]], as they are both feline deities, though he frequently gets annoyed at Sharess' lack of focus and would probably preferred her older incarnation of '''Bast'''.

During the Time of Troubles, he got into a fight with [[Malar]] and drove him away, expanding Nobanion's power base into the nearby areas; converting tribes of Wemics to his religion and bringing them into his collective "Great Pride". The Wemics considered Nobanion a warrior-deity, although he tried to impress values of goodness and compassion on them. From here, worship of Nobanion spread even further.

During the 4E Spellplague he was infected by blue fire and transformed into a dark lion with a [[Awesome|burning blue mane]] under the control of his great enemy Malar. Though thankfully he was healed by the Chosen of [[Lathander]] and continues to wander the realms, though under the diminished status as an Exarch of [[Silvanus]].
