Right. The historical gods have legends. The D&D gods only have lore. Stories are more impactful and lasting than bland details.
We're having a much more interesting time using a Celtic pantheon (did a lot of homework, borrowed a lot of tales that get incorporated into daily activities and speech, like the priests who carry cow dung around to bless crops or the now-disavowed practice* involving a white horse that caused a big stir when a local gossip started a bad rumor accusing a PC baron of starting up that old practice).

Gamers may already have heard of some of these names and stories, so they're easier than a Realms pantheon where players new to the setting have no idea what's up with Helm.
