Maybe a tiny part, but the cultural experts part was a response to critisms that the shallow cultural treatment that the Chultans, a predominately black people of none European style cultural heritage got in Tomb of Annihilation. There were some black activists who were let down by it and...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracles Very worth the read. Also important to point out that although Heracles starts out as a Demigod, when he dies, and his mortal half is burned, he becomes a full God, and ascends to Dwell with the Gods.

Yes, the Bodhisattva Vajrapani.

"Heracles became Vajrapani, guardian of Sakyamuni. There is a wealth of material and studies on the subject... to explain how Heracles went from being a purely classical Greek figure to being a guardian god in the Buddhist pantheon." HSING, I-TIEN, and WILLIAM G. CROWELL. “Heracles in the East...

Interesting note, Hecules can be found in Buddhism as a protector of the Buddha. This is because the Greco-Indian Kingdom and Greco-Bactian Kingdom had a lot of Greek Monks, and elements of Ancient Greek religion found their way into Buddhaism and Hinduism (like Greek Astrology). In fact it's...

Hecules should not be locked into a 27 points, he's not standard at anything, he's a demigod, not mortal.

The city of Mumbai India has a Heraldry.

Yeah no they weren't talking about Theros, Greek History and Mythology are well enough known that there was no need, and it's shall we say not a cultural that folks were worried about being represented more (the consultants were there for predominately none "white" cultures, like Fantasy...

I just added a link to the Dragon Talk Theros interview with Wes and James.

What is the connection between the Western Heartlands and Descent into Avernus?

The Lands of Intrigue would be cool, and they border and trade with the Border Kingdoms so the two books would fit well together. Actually Calimshans cities and towns also have huge rivalies and even recently were at war with each other until the Chosen of Ilmater liberated them from Genie...

The cities of the Lords Alliance are all allies, and two of the main cities already have Gazetteers, Waterdeep, and Baldur's Gate, although there is competiveness between them, I wouldn't call it rivalry. Still your point about 10 towns being too rough for Heraldry is actually a great...

Your depressing me, literally anything on my list would be better then that, a tie in AP to what looks to be an awful game, set in the dullest part of an otherwise exciting Forgotten Realms. 4e nuked the wrong parts of the Realms, it should have nuked Icewind Dale.

Oh of it's a strong possibility, but it's sure as hell not intriguing, Icewind Dale is boring, and the ten towns are the most boring part of it. I mean set it literally anywhere else then Icewind Dale. I'm a hardcore FR fan, maybe the biggest FR fan on these Forums, who occasionally enjoys a...

Cormyr has cities so if the use of the word town is important as you think, then Cormyr doesn't fit. Having finally listen to it for myself I noted several things. 1. He said he's doing three things right now and at least one is an Adventure, one has the text done, one is in second...

We at least have the Divine Soul, but Priest class I envision can do the divine wizard depending upon subclass, but it can specialize in more assorted duties with divine magic then just Divine Wizard or Domain Cleric. Like subclasses could be Scripture Theologian (Divine Wizard, but the...

Now that I have time I'm going to listen to it myself.

I look at the cleric class, which is seen as the default priest class, and it mechanically solid, but an extremely narrow and flawed Priest/Divine spellcaster thematically and in function. A Druid with the Ritual Caster cleric is almost better at that then the Cleric in my opinion. First off...

I wish they'd done Speciality Priests for the PHB, as well as clerics.

I pronounce it Sell-Dar-ene
