| May 9 at 17:50 | comment | added | Kirt | "There are no rules about what they can and cannot know" might be an explicit part of your answer, since the question is asking whether sanctum makes it so that they cannot know certain things. | |
| May 9 at 17:18 | comment | added | Nobody the Hobgoblin | @Kirt So what if it happened in the last 5 minutes? These are gods. There are no rules what they can or cannot know, it is up to the DM. They operate outside of the limits set for PCs and NPCs. The do not need to cast commune or divination. They just know (or don't). No need for them to go and find out. | |
| May 9 at 15:02 | comment | added | Kirt | I appreciate the link to the legend lore answer, but I think it is helpful precisely because I don't think that is how commune works. | |
| May 9 at 14:56 | comment | added | Kirt | Agree with Jack here - it seems like you are assuming the deity only answers with information on hand, and answers could include "I don't know" - but that is more properly the realm of contact other plane. As opposed to the commune spell being more like "ask the deity to find this out for me using whatever godly means it possesses. Otherwise it would be useless to ask about, say, things that happened in the last five minutes. | |

The spell doesn't say anything about "pre-existing", it just says the "deity's knowledge". And "either happens to know where they are or not" is also putting limitations on the spell that aren't in the text. What the deity's knowledge is, and when and how it gathers it, is not specified in the spell at all, except to note divine beings don't automatically know everything. | |
