D&D 5E Mordenkainens feedback.

Yeah, that's what I meant. My brain wrote DMG, but my fingers had a disagreement with it and decided to type PHB instead.

I tell ya, sometimes it's just alphabet soup.

Okay. Well, I guess I've been doing that "incorrectly" at my tables (in a way that is much cooler and more fun, IMO). I had just assumed she was a god, like she was listed as in the DMG and in Explorer's Guide to Wildemount.

She is a god in Exandria (Wildemount) and the Dawn War Pantheon (DMG & 4e)

 

[Parmandur]

To be fair to MToF, I don't think that even in 2018 they realized how big Critical Role was getting and that it would reinvigorate the Dawn War pantheon.

 

[dave2008]

That statement just blows my mind- that nobody even bothers to get the phb... seriously??

I've played with the same group since the 80's and ever since 1e this is how it goes for us. I buy the books and that is it. The players take their character sheets, but all the books stay at my house. We typically have a separate session just to level up and do downtime activities when we bring the books out, but other than that they stay on the shelf.

Seems pretty normal?

To be super pedantic, the Raven Queen isn't in the PHB, but in the DMG as part of the example DM built pantheon (which is the 4E and Exandria pantheon).

Huh. I would have sworn the list of pantheons was in the phb...like at the very end.

There is a list of Pantheons: Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, some real world ones (Greek, Norse, Egyptian, maybe Celtic), and some racial specific gods.

But the Dawn War pantheon is used in the DMG section on world building, where James Wyatt walks us through the logic of how and why they built the ,4E pantheon as an example of how a DM might make a custom cosmology.

Actually MToF page 59 explicitly says that the Raven Queen has achieved divinity. So she is a goddess.

Is she on the table of Elven deities in that chapter...?

Not so, unfortunately, where the Elven deities mostly appear as members of the Seldarine or Dark Seldarine.

She does make an appearance in Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, page 21, in the Prime Deities section, where she is listed with the Provinces (cooler way of saying portfolios) of death, fate, winter, is LN, and has the suggested domains of Death and Grave.
