Bast

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

Bast is one of the God-Kings of Mulhorand.  Although the Mulhorandi pantheon doesn’t do “portfolios” in the same way that powers do, Bast is most often invoked in connection with cats, hedonism including all forms of sensual fulfillment, beauty, passion, luck, spontaneity, mischief, accidents, joy, festivals, freedom, voyeurism, discovery and profitable use of secrets (in the course of pillowtalk, not as a result of research), larceny, rogues, stealth, shadows, and deception.  Within the Old Empires, Bast wholly or partially supersedes Beshaba, Cyric, Lliira, Mask, Sharess, Sune, and Tymora.  She is known from Waterdeep to Calimport to the Moonsea as Sharess, and in that identity she is simply the “patron saint” of festhalls and coin-lasses to minimize conflict with the Faerunian deities.  This gives her a following which is perhaps smaller than other Faerunian deities, but just as widespread.
