From the novels or Realmslore famous characters, who do you think have certain rivalries towards each other? Perhaps the way they sense each other as a nemesis.

The ones I can think of are:

Drizzt = Entreri/Obould (I'm sure everybody knows who these two are)

Bruenor = Obould (Since they are both kings who were once at war. They did form a bit of rivalry during those times.)

Erevis Cale = Riven/Larajin (Riven has always been Cale's nemesis assassin squad. But Larajin on the other hand, was an impossible threat where things don't usually go his way.)

Talbot = Rusk (Talbot was Thamalon's son, and Rusk a werewolf pack leader. They're both werewolves.


Anybody know more?

Manshoon vs. Fzoul is my pick. Nothing like rivalry inside a working relationship.

Vangerdahast and Alusair.

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

In a similar vain, I was actually thinking earlier:- Khelben and just about everyone else at some point.

Drizzt and Jarlaxle (Though maybe not anymore, after The Ghost King...) More of a respectful but friendly rivalry, I'd think. At least on Jarlaxle's end, anyway.

If we are to include the gods, we'll have to include them all. There's hardly a deity that has no rival. Even Ao has: Cyric.

Shar vs Selune, Mystra and Loviatar

Bane vs Cyric

and the list goes on...

Yeah, I know.... I was kidding- mostly. Some of them are worse about it than others.

LOL!! It was just a hypothetical idea, Sage. Actually, I could possibly see them getting together over drinks in the local bar in wherever it is gods hang out, and comparing notes- much like El and Mordenkainen are said to do!!
