I mean, there are some pretty damn pointless gods in the setting too.
Did you know that the Realms have a goddess of "the right of the nobility to rule over the peasantry"?
They do. Her name is Siamorphe and all she does is go around patting entitled twits on the head saying "good job."
A grave misdepiction. Siamorphe is the goddess of the duty of nobility to govern justly and selflessly, and to not abuse their entitled status. She has more in common with say the Lady of the Lake from Arthurian legends (or similar pure-beyond-humanity beings and archetypes) and would do excellent as a patron for a question Paladin or knight errant who never let up in their struggle to protect people who cannot protect themselves.
What you described is more the territory of Band, the god of Tyranny, or Gargauth, the god (and former arch-devil) of Corruption and Greed.
Also, Siamorphe aside, FR doesn't have
enough gods by far. Just look at real world religions -- if people could think of a concept, there was a god for it. FR needs at least a hundred gods more.
