#No one but Ao ever looked at Cyric and approved

I've heard the sentiment that Leira faked her death before, as well as Cyric later claiming he was her father (somehow, despite her being a god for longer than he was alive). Something feels weird about the relationship between Leira, Mask and Cyric and I can't put my finger on it.

[Fzoul] drummed his fingers nervously on the pages from The True Life. "I'm still not happy about moving into the open." "I'll be there to protect you," Mask offered with exaggerated deference. "If you take up my holy symbol, Fzoul, I'll serve you well. After all, Bane has been dead the past ten years, and you still mourn him. Isn't it time you got on with your life?"

Bane: patron god of people with the worst taste in men possible. Agape or storge or eros or whatever flavour of love; the point stands.

(And did everybody in this pantheon feel awkward when Bane came back, I wonder? 'Well, Cyric sure did kill the Dead Three.' Meanwhile Jergal and everybody in the future looking back just hums and says nothing. And technically Mystra and Mask killed the Dead Three.)
