D&D 5E Death domain clerics CAN be LN. DMG suggests LN and Death Domain for Raven Queen

Actually they are wrong. Raven Queen is neutral and her clerics can be Death Domain. Same with Wee Jas and some other gods. And that is in the DMG too. So officially RAW? They are wrong.

Neutral clerics of Wee Jas and the Raven Queen can take the death domain if their DM says they can. Otherwise they can't; that's what being in the DMG means. (Same of course for evil clerics.)

DMG is more guidelines for a DM. It's right there in the name, "Guide". I know RAW meant a lot in prior editions, but particularly with a world building element like which Gods are available in the game and which domains they cover and how their clerics access those domains, that's all up to the DM and not "Written". I don't even recall a listing for Raven Queen in the DMG and Wee Jas isn't even from the default setting so it's clearly on the list of optional stuff.
