New God

In Fruosian theology, the New God is a theoretical, prophesied deity. The nature and acceptance of the idea of the New God varies considerably across Fruos, ranging from outright denial to belief in imminent arrival.

In the General Pantheon
In the general pantheon of the Forgotten Realms, the New God exists as a theoretical deity that will one day arrive and vassalise, defeat or otherwise subsume all of the existing gods. Debate exists as to the nature and timing of the New God's arrival. Some believe it is imminent, others believe there is no likelihood of its arrival. Smaller sects exist that believe the New God will be an amalgamation of the existing Pantheon or that the New God came during the Unknown Era and was defeated.

In the Elven Pantheon
The Elven Pantheon is generally less accepting of the idea of the New God than seen elsewhere in Fruos. In the Felwyn Kingdom there has historically been hostility and oppression shown against clerics who too openly preach the idea of the New God.

In Galbardian Faith
Belief in the future arrival of the New God is considered a heretical belief in Galbard and would be dealt with accordingly by the Supreme Church there. Tolerated, but still not widely accepted, is the belief that the Supreme Lord is the New God, who has already come and thereby fulfilled the prophecy. However, given that the New God is not mentioned in the Supreme Holy Texts, this view is not espoused by the Supreme Church.

In Djenzig belief
The Djenzig Pantheon is a wide and ill-defined belief. However, it is generally accepted by most believers there that the New God will arrive in accordance with the prophesy. Many sects within Djenzig actively prophesy this coming as imminent or even overdue.

In Dwarven belief
Fruosian Dwarves are generally less religious than other races, but that does not mean faith or the New God are not part of many dwarves' lives. As adherents of the generic pantheon, most dwarves have a vague belief in the idea of the New God. A very small number of dwarves believe the New God will arrive in dwarven form and will liberate the race from the perceived containment of humans and elves.
