When did Torm ascend to godhood and how so? I know he had a kingdom somewhere in the dales, all tormites are supposed to try and find it ala the grail.
Anyone?
Thanks :) |

I think it was in 267 DR -- when Bane, Myrkul, and Bhaal slew Borem.

Bane got his godhood from Jergal, who was still worshipped in Netheril, so there is your Bane timeline as well. Sorry I didn't run the numbers, just doing this from memory.
Bane, Bhaal and Myrkul all ascended to godhood after slaying a "quasi-deity"/demigod called Borem of the Lake of Boiling Mud with an artifact known as "The Jhaamdath Dagger" (see 'Faiths and Pantheons').
I do have my books at hand right now, so I cannot remember if F&P mentions any date when this happened.

Probably he was a paladin, and lived near the Border Kingdoms.
One thing is certain, the Kingdom that Torm served was either very obscure or so ancient, that the knowledge was lost/forgotten, even to his own Church. |

Good stuff, now if only I can pin point Bane and Torm in one timeline, that'd be great. |

I've read that Torm was mortal soon after the fall of Netheril (-329DR). Tyr arrived in Faerun only in -247DR, so probably Torm was devoted to another god (maybe Ilmater?). |

I see.
By any chance do you know if Bane was a mortal around the same time as he?
