泛费伦神系融合了从史前到今日的 诸国度the Realms 本地神祇，几千年来被发端于其它世界的移民潮带入的各种神系代表，以及 费伦大陆Faerûn 上大量从凡人行列飞升的新神力。虽然主要专注的是仅限于费伦的人类一族，但泛费伦神系的地理与种族势力范围一直在扩张（并伴随着该神系神祇原有数量的增涨），而这往往以诸国度其他神系的耗损为代价。
The Faerûnian pantheon is an amalgamation of native deities that date to the pre-history of the Realms, representatives of various pantheons brought into the Realms by waves of immigrants from other worlds over the millennia, and numerous new powers who have arisen from the ranks of mortals in Faerûn. Although primarily focused on humankind in only Faerûn, the geographic and racial spheres of influence of the Faerûnian pantheon are always expanding (along with the raw number of deities in the pantheon increasing）, often at the expense of the other pantheons of the Realms.
不同于楚尔特人Chultan、卡拉-图人Kara-Turan、马兹特克人Maztican、穆尔霍兰德人Mulhorandi、恩瑟人Untheric 以及 亚人demihuman 神系，并不存在统治泛费伦神系的主神。与之相反，泛费伦神系是个易怒的神力集合，他们仅仅透过自己的神职来感知彼此和诸国度，虽然有时会进行合作，但更常处于对立态势。有鉴于泛费伦神系相对“成功”地统治着 艾伯尔-托瑞尔星球Abeir-Toril 的很大一部分，贤者们推测，正是泛费伦神系对于内讧与分裂的嗜好，令其在发展和应对变化方面远比结构更古板的神系快。
Unlike the Chultan, Kara-Turan, Maztican, Mulhorandi, Untheric, and demihuman pantheons, no primary power rules the Faerûnian pantheon. Rather, the Faerûnian pantheon is a fractious assembly of sometimes cooperative but more often antagonistic powers who perceive each other and the Realms solely through the lens of their own portfolios. Sages speculate that the Faerûnian pantheon's predilection for infighting and disunity allows it to evolve and respond to change far quicker than more rigidly structured pantheons, accounting for the relative “success" of the Faerûnian pantheon in dominating a large portion of Abeir-Toril.
泛费伦神系被名为 强大神力会议the Circle of Greater Powers 的寡头集团松散地统治着，后者在 以太位面the Ethereal Plane 一处特殊半位面上的 极星营帐the Pavilion of Cynosure 中进行集会，负责维护 一体至衡the Balance（定义为 艾欧Ao 留给诸神力的指导方针）和监管自己神系中成员的违犯行为。这种神性议会极少召开，行动只涉及重大的审议。强大神力会议反应时间之缓慢，令其在应对持续发酵的事件时，起到的作用更多是在截然对立的强大神力之间达成困难的妥协，而非彰显他们神性智慧集体水平的展示窗口。
The Faerûnian pantheon is loosely governed by an oligarchy known as the Circle of Greater Powers who meet in the Pavilion of Cynosure, which is located on a special demiplane in the Ethereal Plane, and who are responsible for maintaining the Balance (as defined by the guidelines left to the powers by Ao) and policing transgressions by members of their pantheon. This divine assembly meets only rarely and acts only with great deliberation. Its slow reaction time to on-going events is more a function of the difficulty of reaching compromise between diametrically opposed greater powers than an indicator of the assemblage's level of divine wisdom.
泛费伦神系以及诸国度的其他各支神系，都在艾欧，国度天宇之神上神力the Over-power of Realmspace 的监督之下。上帝艾欧Lord Ao 保持着自己冷漠的态度，充当着一位极少（如果不是完全不）进行干涉的永恒观察者，然后，只在维护一体至衡、批准或拒绝生物擢升到神位、以及确保诸神保持回应他们崇拜者时出手。
The Faerûnian pantheon, and every other pantheon in the Realms, is overseen by Lord Ao, the Over-power of Realmspace. Lord Ao holds himself aloof, an eternal observer who only rarely interferes, if at all, and then only to maintain the Balance, ratify or deny the ascension of beings to godhood, and ensure that the gods remain responsive to their worshipers.
在两位强大神力——米尔寇Myrkul 和 班恩Bane 将划定每位神力职责的 命运石板the Tablets of Fate偷走后，艾欧将泛费伦神系从天界打落到了诸国度。并非那块石板的失窃，而是这个神系成员们的不负责任，导致艾欧掀起了这场 诸神降世the Fall of the Gods。在随后那段被称作 动荡之年the Time of Troubles、化身危机the Avatar Crisis、或是 诸神之战the Godswar 的冲突时期，以下述作为标志：神力存在们被迫以几乎比最强大凡人还更强的较弱化身形态；他们被迫行走在艾伯尔-托瑞尔星球地表的凡人之间；他们被禁止（并被强行阻止）返回他们位于外层位面的神域；在他们于托瑞尔的旅程所留下的破坏。魔法陷入了狂乱，而整个费伦大陆的凡人都在遭受失去了与信众联系的诸神的残酷双手蹂躏。动荡之年在一小撮勇敢的凡人将石板归还艾欧时结束。艾欧随后将诸神力恢复到了外层位面，并替换了那些丧生者，但他作出了限制，令他们的力量从此与崇拜者的数量和虔诚紧密相联。
The Faerûnian pantheon was recently hurled from the heavens to the Realms by Ao after two greater powers, Myrkul and Bane, stole the Tablets of Fate that delineated each power's responsibilities. It was not the theft of the tablets but the abdication of responsibility by the members of the pantheon that caused Ao to induce the Fall of the Gods. The period of strife that followed, known alternatively as the Time of Troubles, the Avatar Crisis, or the Godswar, was marked by the powers being forced to assume weakened avatar forms scarcely more powerful than the most powerful mortals walking the Realms, being forced to walk the surface of Abeir-Toril among mortals, being banned (and forcibly blockaded) from returning to their outer planar realms, and leaving havoc in the wake of their travels on Toril. Magic went wild and mortals throughout Faerûn suffered at the cruel hands of deities out of touch with their flocks. The Time of Troubles concluded when a handful of brave mortals returned the tablets to Ao. Ao then reinstated the powers to the Outer Planes and replaced those who had perished, but he bound their strength tightly to the number and faith of their worshipers.
动荡之年很难说是第一次有大量的化身行走于诸国度、在他们的身后留下毁灭与魔法狂乱，而这或许也不会是最后一次。据信 黎明之灾The Dawn Cataclysm（已知发生在 耐瑟瑞尔帝国Netheril 陨落之后）预示了 迷斯·卓诺Myth Drannor 的陨落。据说是彼时尚且年轻的神祇 洛山达Lathander 的天真尝试，引发了那场诸神之战，在那场尝试中，他试图改造诸国度、将邪恶或老旧从凡人的生活中彻底抹去，而新神祇的神系将在他热心肠的家长式指导下运转诸国度的神性事务。
The Time of Troubles was hardly the first time numerous avatars have stalked the Realms, leaving destruction and magical chaos in their wake, and is probably not the last. The Dawn Cataclysm, known to have occurred after the fall of Netheril, is believed to have heralded the fall of Myth Drannor. This Godswar is believed to have been sparked by a naive attempt by the then-youthful deity Lathander to remake the Realms from scratch with all that was evil or old eliminated from mortal affaits and a pantheon of new deities under his benevolent patriarchal guidance running the Realms's divine affairs.
今日，泛费伦神系的成员与他们的崇拜者联系的变得更为紧密，他们变得更专注于自己的职责和神职。然而，在他们的神格与地理上的势力范围持续增长的同时，神力们仍在继续争吵和算计。
Today the members of the Faerûnian pantheon are more intimately attuned to their worshipers and more attentive to their responsibilities and portfolios. The powers continue to bicker and scheme, however, while their ranks and geographic sphere of influence continue to grow.
