In the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game Kor is the fictional god of wisdom in the Al-Qadim campaign setting that is set within the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. In the Land of Fate box set he is described as one of the so-called eight Great Gods of the fictional continent of Zakhara and as preaching, that wisdom stems from age, and wisdom brings strength.[1] Kor's symbol is a sunburst.[1]
The setting depicts Kor as an old and grey-haired but strong man, whose advice is sought by gods and mortals alike.[1] Like other Zakharan gods, he is above such concerns as alignment, as wisdom may be sought by an altruistic healer as well as by an evil leader of holy slayers.[2] His faith places value in stability, order and tradition. Seeking the advice of one's elders and learning from one's mistakes are very important to his followers.[1]
Old Kor is mainly venerated by ethoists. Centers of his worship are the fictional cities of Dihliz, Hawa, Huzuz, Jumlat, Liham, Muluk, Qadib, Rog'osto, Umara and Wasat.[1]
