You would think that being a god would make your eyes pretty safe, but Mike Mearls Erathis joins Grumish in the "should have worn safety glasses to the fight" club. Her feud with Baphomat is a lot more serious than I remember in 4e: https://www.sageadvice.eu/2018/08/14/the-nentir-vale-pantheon/

First thought, I find it intriguing he's writing summaries for 4E deities.

Second thought, Erathis seems more hardcore about spreading civilization than I remember from 4E. However, my own personal setting uses the goddess Sagawehn (a goddess mentioned in a single 4E article as having been killed for being too lawful and opposing free will), so I'll probably steal these new Erathis details to use for her.

He's also done a couple of cleric domains and put them on Twitter. One was beauty from memory.

Why did I always think she was a he. I like the story he weaves with being the brother to Asmodeus and such.

Neat. I dig the Dawn War Pantheon, and it’s what I generally use for my homebrews. For me, it feels generic enough without being flavorless.

Though, I did have a terrible player running a cleric of Erathis back in 4e. All he ever did was bother NPCs with questions about their area’s justice system.

I tend to think of the pantheon as the "highlights of D&D deities with some (mostly promising) newcomers added on." I tend to use a version of the DW with some PF core deities (mostly good ones) thrown in.

Well, the 4e pantheon IS presented in the DMG, and people who played Clerics of said gods in 4e are probably going to want to in 5e. Also DMs using the 4e cosmology and assumptions.

His home game is still using the 4e campaign setting of Nentir Veil, so it's probably easy to use that as a space for him to test out ideas. Also, some people still uses that world so it could be useful for others?

The ORDER domain is great. I will use it for a transplanted Sapphire Hierarch if given the chance and time.
