FRCG [pg. 72]: “The post-Spellplague world includes no Chosen who are not exarchs.” and Exarchs Table [pg. 81] lists 37 exarchs but only 3 known Chosen(Clangeddin ,Fzoul and Obould). Then what state of other Chosen(El, Amlaruil , Malik,etc.) around 1479DR? 1/2 All of them ascend to the rank of exarch/demigod but didn't list in the Exarchs Table? Or somehow lost their Chosen status at that time? 2/2

1) The Exarchs table displays only known exarchs; there could be many more (up to your DM). When it comes to matters divine, mortals can rarely know the whole truth, as even the gods (and certainly their clergy) deceive, and sages are fallible in interpretation.#Realmslore

…loyalty to her, etc. who happened to hold a part of her divine essence (the silver fire). Other deities named "Chosen" who were avatars, or champions imbued with some divine power or abilities, or simply envoys with little or no "special" abilities. See some…#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 8, 2019

…scenes in THE ADVERSARY by Erin Evans for internment camps FULL of "Chosen." So, yes, you can assume there are exarchs/demigods around that aren't in the table, because they're working in secret, or are literally in hiding or stasis or otherwise inactive/won't..#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 8, 2019

…be encountered by mortals, have been sent off the Prime Material (Toril) on missions, etc.
