Quick question: if a cleric of the Silver Flame from Eberron ended up in Faerun, would he keep his divine powers? And if he started making acholytes among the population, would they have divine powers too? He'd be able to renew divine spells of first through third level (and divine cantrips). Acolytes would have no powers unless or until a Faerunian deity granted them (likely anonymously).#Realmslore

It is indeed unfair…but where is it written that the gods, or the world, are fair? Most folk in the Realms figure otherwise by their third birthday or so.

There are several ways, but they must be roleplayed (e.g.: a mortal's fate, or being reborn to work on, being vital to a divine purpose). Many gods consider mortal deeds to be worship, even if the mortal didn't intend them so. The Netherese spurned gods, so: the Wall.#Realsmlore
