I don't know why, but I had for some reason thought that the Raven Queen was an ascended Shadowborn paladin from Ravenloft and behind the Church of Ezra.
Dunno if that is anqmuwhere, though that could be in Van Richten's Guise, st least eh Ravem Queem being behind the Chirch of Ezra.

This inclusion made me smile.
I've never heard anyone pronounce it "fan-DAY-lin", though, have you?

EDIT: On topic of pronunciations, it seems they've changed their minds on Acererak. In Tomb of Annihilation, it's "ah-SAIR-ack" but in the Lore Glossary they've got it as "ah-SAIR-er-rack".

Also, "ah-LOOSE-tree-ell" just sounds silly to me. She'll always be "ah-LUSS-tree-ell". And her sister is "LAY-rull" not "LAIR-ull".

I don't like either option for Euryale either. A modern Greek speaker would pronounce it like "ehv-ree-AH-lee". I tend to go with "yur-EE-ah-lee" myself.

I prefer "HAY-dar" for Hadar myself.

I've also pronounced Kas as "KASS" not "KOSS".

I've also always pronounced Tharizdun as "THA-rizz-dun".

I would also be inclined to pronounce Yolande as "yo-LAND-uh".
