Auril, god of winter
Azuth, god of wizardry
Bane, god of tyranny
Beshaba, god of misfortune
Bhahl, god of murder
Chauntea, god of agriculture
Cyric, god of lies
Deneir, god of writing
Eilistraee, god of song and moonlight
Eldath, god of peace
Gond, god of craft
Helm, god of watchfulness
Ilmater, god of endurance
Kelemvor, god of the dead

Leira, god of illusion
Lliira, god of joy

Mielikki, god of forests

Myrkul, god of death
Mystra, god of magic
Oghma, god of knowledge
Red Knight, god of strategy
Selûne, god of the moon

Shaunadaul, god of the way
Silvanus, god of wild nature

Talos, god of storms
Tempus, god of war

So, we know that each of these deities are going to get the Theros treatment: rules for benefits for following them, that sort of thing. I'm excited to find out how they figure ways to make it work for each god!

Asmodeus being one of them provides a neat way for a PC to be a devil worshipper, if that's your sort of thing. (I mean, other than as a Fiend Warlock).

Curious to see the piety rules for Beshaba and Loviatar, among others!

I also found Beshaba's holy symbol art on D&D Beyond's Marketplace page for the books! Looks neat!

Might be slightly less involved, page-count eise, than the Theros treatments...Theros gave 15 deities 3 pages each, I doubt we will see 123 pages of piety content here

one page each should be enough for most of them, incidentally gets you to around 45 pages too

I’d expect more like half pages for each, with some getting a full page when appropriate.

I think that would be much more of an issue then Greek or Egyptian Gods, although those are Gods are worshipped still today, but the Pagan community really doesn't make a big deal about it, but some times the Hindu community does get upset at particular depiction, but never D&D.

Those religions went extinct.

Revivals essentially invented their own dogma. They cant really say kicking Ra's ass in D&D is unacceptable as you can claim that's the best way to honor Ra these days. Its not like they can really contradict you.

They can't claim cultural appropriation either as they essentially did exactly that.

Yeah, I can't imagine a full page for Beshaba or anything

Yeah, somewhere about 30 pages feels right.

So, some speculation on the Player book now, here is the ad copy with the numbers inserted in brackets where. Beyond provides it in their breakdown:

"This 192-page player compendium includes:

• 8 powerful new subclasses
• New spells [19] and the all-new Circle Magic
• 8 classic and emerging Factions
• Primer on the 42 Gods and Renown support
• New feats [34] and backgrounds [18
• Catalog of regional equipment [3 magic items and 12 mundane items]
• Overview of the 10 Forgotten Realms regions [12 maps included per Beyond]"

How long do we all reckon each of these sections will be, given the 192 pag framework? If these represent approximately 8 chapters, that would be about 28 pages per chapter on average (I reckon they Gazateers will be longer than the spells, ut juat speaking in averages).

The "Forgotten Lands" is apparently the Great Glacier/Implitur/Thesk region, which really never had an overarching name previously.

It looks like the core is what was called the "Bloodstone Lands" in FR9 (Vasa, Damara, Narfell, Impuliter and the Great Dale) plus the Vast broken off from the Eastern Heartlands and Thesk separated from the Arcane Empires region kt was covered under in FR6.

As annoying as it is to see they've cut the south coast off

Going over the old Forgotten Realma Atlas from 1990 for fun, and I estimate that (give or take) the area covered in detail in this new book ia about 9,240,000 square miles or around about the size of North America, while the area to the South of Faerûn is about 6,440,000 square miles, approximately the size of South America (about 10% just being the band of the Shaar along the middle bordering the Nprthern area).

You could basically do another book of a similar scale just about the Shining South (the 3.5 Shining South is the same length, to be fair). And going through the Grey Box Compendium...not only does the map cut off around the same spot, there is no info on the Shining South to be found there. "The South" is given as another name for the Old Empires region!
