[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8357539, member: 6801228"] This seems to be a bit ridiculous to me. Exandria is its own setting, not Nentir Vale or Greyhawk. Making connections to the wider multiverse of DnD like this would be like saying that Takhissis and Tiamat are the same exact being and their stories are identical. Now, I do admit that in the Wildemount book they use the same names for the gods as well as titles, but in the Tal'dorie book they only used their titles and I think it is far more appropriate to consider these new dieties rather than the old ones, even if we can draw comparisons between them. (And, just because I think most of these titles are super cool names and they don't all match the Dawn War Pantheon, here is the list.) [SPOILER="Gods of Exandria"] The Archeart -> Corellon Larethian The Allhammer -> Moradin The Changebringer -> Avandra The Dawnfather -> Pelor The Everlight -> Sarenrae (Not Dawn War, Pathfinder, referred to as Raei in the Wildemount book) The Knowing Mistress -> Ioun The Lawbearer -> Erathis The Matron of Ravens (blech, only bad name)-> The Raven Queen The Moonweaver -> Sehanine Moonbow The Platinum Dragon -> Bahamut The Stormlord -> Kord The Wildmother -> Melora The Chained Oblivion -> Tharizdun The Cloaked Serpent -> Zehir The Crawling King -> Torog The Lord of the Hells (eh, also not a great name) -> Asmodeus The Ruiner -> Gruumsh The Spider Queen -> Lolth The Strife Emperor -> Bane The Scaled Tyrant -> Tiamat The Whispered One -> Vecna [/SPOILER] I know it is only a single divergence, but it is a pretty big and thorny one. There are also 10 lesser powers that I don't think correspond to anything in another setting. Edit: And if this was just a way to say "the dawn war pantheon exists in 5e!... it is in the DMG. You don't need Wildemount to provide those names. They also are in the PHB, for those from FR or Greyhawk [/QUOTE]
