Editing Talos (Forgotten Realms) (section)

==In the Pantheon==
Formed from the first battle between [[Selûne]] and [[Shar]], Talos is the leader of the Deities of Fury - those [[Forgotten Realms]] deities associated with the savage, destructive side of nature. He has a close relationship with [[Auril]], a relationship with [[Umberlee]] characterized by both flirtation and rivalry, and a grudging alliance with [[Malar]], who would kill him if he could. Talos elevates mortals to divinity and forces them to deplete themselves in his service. In AD&D lore, he once assumed the alias [[Malyk]] and attempted to gain dominion over [[Wild Magic]], but was foiled by [[Mystra]] - in 5th edition, this was retconned and Malyk became a [[Drow]] god exclusively, with no ties to Talos.

As you can probably expect, Talos hates deities that promote building, learning, nature, and the altering of weather. Chief among his enemies are [[Chauntea]], [[Eldath]], [[Lathander]], [[Mystra]], [[Sune]], [[Deneir]], [[Gond]], [[Helm]], [[Ilmater]], [[Mielikki]], [[Oghma]], [[Shiallia]], [[Silvanus]], and [[Tyr]].

According to Oghma, Talos has often suggested the destruction of the moon as a solution to problems presented to the Pantheon in Cynosure.

There is a certain resemblance between Talos and [[Gruumsh]], and in 4th edition, it was suggested that the two were actually the same deity using different guises to appeal to difference races. This idea was dropped in 5th edition.
