Navigating the forums, or even the lore channel history in discord, can be pretty difficult when looking for certain information. Sometimes there's hearsay, sometimes you don't find out about something until after you've already made your concept. For anyone struggling to find the changes, or even those just curious, I've compiled this list of all the lore changes and homebrew additions made on the server for ease in the following format of the summary of the change and then the link to the post/where the detailed information is. Changes to the lore are things that are more functional towards the setting itself while changes due to the story are things that have drastically changed since the server's break after the canon year of 1372 DR.

I'll try to keep this as updated as I can so please feel free to bring stuff to my attention here or on discord if I get something wrong/miss something!

A majority of lore changes can be found here as well and the story changes from plotlines have all been added here.

On C_D, a Favored Soul is someone with a 'divine spark' that allows them to channel the power of a deity, much like a cleric but through Charisma. A patron may favor one and give them their spells, but gods don't pick random people to 'make' them Favored Souls, the people who are this already have this 'divine spark.' Every Favored Soul must give faith to the god giving them their powers or else risk falling.
