Q for Afro

Aoskar - or, rather, a 'god of portals' seems like a pretty cool idea. Have I got the timeline right? Aoskar was a power of something else, and tried to claim the portfolio of Portals - but doing so would, in itself, have given him influence over the City of Doors, and the Lady couldn't allow that. Hence his flaying.

So, are other deities now afraid of attempting to claim that portfolio element?

What about the existence of the Portal domain (Spell Compendium) - are there gods who claim that domain and does it relate to this history? (Or is it just Bad Writing?)
