So I'm interested in finding or making a god of sin, something like Velka from Dark Souls, but am looking for a stable foundation already present in the Forgotten Realms.
Do you know of anything that might be suitable?— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 14, 2020

Sure. Being as ALL of the gods are back, alive and worshipped in the Realms post-Second Sundering, despite what you may read elsewhere, and a “sin” is a mortal doing something they know is against the tenets of a god, all… 2)
…mortals in the Realms ‘believe in’ ALL of the gods, not just one, and so knowingly sin all the time (they can’t help but do so, as so many divine tenets and desired mortal behaviors conflict), almost any deity is suitable.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 14, 2020

However, MOST suitable are Asmodeus, Cyric, and Shar—and for specific mortals in particular situations or professions, Bhaal, Leira, and Sharess.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 14, 2020
