The setting is not widely used in official materials, however, the compilation adventures Tales from the Yawning Portal and Ghosts of Saltmarsh take place there. The original setting for DnD, created by one of its founding members, Gary Gygax for his home game.

No two gods can have the same portfolio if a conflict happens, then either one god must change their portfolio, be destroyed, or the two gods must merge into a singular deity. In the Forgotten Realms, each god has their own portfolio they preside over, such as death, war, and so on.

The default setting for 5E, the Forgotten Realms pantheon is richly fleshed out in the Player’s Handbook, Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, and a variety of novels and previous edition supplements. To clarify, Tyr can be found in both Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk, and he is similar in both, but this is not the same Tyr.

Or indirectly: providing power to Clerics and Paladins, or influencing inhabitants of the world to carry out their desires. Either directly: The creation of races, divine punishments, etc. The 107 DnD deities usually function in a very clear way: they are real, inhabitants of the world know that they are real, and they interact with the world using their power.
