The Planeswalker's Stronghold

  WotC, faulted or not, have provided a plethora of copyrighted worlds to be enjoyed by Players and DMs alike. Each of these, more often than not, comes along with it's own Pantheon of Deities, ranging from 4th additions simplified list, to expansive multi edition models. "Each world in the D&D multiverse has its own pantheons of deities. This appendix deals with one pantheon, that of the Forgotten Realms.

A full half of the additions are Tier1, so this really offers a lot for everyone. I am particularly looking forward to using the Traag in my campaigns, as Dragonborn are pretty rare in my worlds. Verminaard and Ember make interesting BBEG, right out of the box, as Tiamat and her cult followers are already prominent parts of our Pantheon.
