Mystra and Cyric quickly rose to very very powerful status, mostly because they took the portfolios of really used gods (magic, for instance). I believe he also took the domain of Deceit. In the end it's huge Mary Suedom, but explained partially with the concept that, as a mortal he brought some freshness to the pantheon, so he had a lot of ambition and new ideas that the old gods, set in their ways, did not and weren't as able to prepare against. Plus when he -was- a god, Bane, Bhaal and Myrkul were all dead, allowing him to reign around near unopposed as head of evil gods. |
