Paladin who ascended when he was martyred after uncovering a demon masquerading as a sun god. The sun god bureaucracy switched to him and he became the patron of the henotheistic Holy Lothian empire which took over most of the main continent, so there is a big medieval church D&D analogue that works allowing crusades and cathedrals and inquisitions and tons of saints but also is henotheistic so there can be D&D pantheism as well alongside a familiar vast church structure. Allows both the paladin good and the excesses of lawful (good?). Works great for D&D in my opinion.Odin. Cunning warrior mage Allfather with myths about adventuring to level up and multiclassing into mage and bard. Lots of different ways to interpret him as a figure of law or a trickster, a good guy or someone who screws others over. Lots of overlaps with Gruumsh, Talos, Moradin, etc.Set. Conan Stygian snake god version. Very evocative for me.Pelor is probably my favorite from 3e, mostly for the duality of the good sun god and the Burning Hate heresy which I built up in my own campaign as Pelor being a Nergal type demon of the sun's burning light who Orcus crushed but who in revenge created a good undead hating sun cult to fight Orcus which became super popular and its own thing. Also ties into the myth of Pelor cursing the Orcus servant vampire with sunlight death vulnerability.Lolth 4e version. Goddess of fate and weaving seeing the Abyss as destroying everything if unchecked she web spins a container to constrain the Abyss knowing it will drive her mad and evil and cost her her core persona and turn her lover into her bitterest enemy and that she will be blamed as the betrayer and turn bitter and hate everyone she loves and turn against them. She does it knowing the full cost.</blockquote>
