Replacing them with another deity would take away from this involvment, or even lead to things that don't make sense, so there's some handwaving to do, if you want to go that route.Anyway, to answer your question, one of the advantages of a universal pantheon is that you don't really need a single deity for the various races anymore, but the race could worship a combination of human deities that cover all the spheres of infuences of the original pantheon. The dwarves could simply worship Gond, Tyr and Tempus (and give them dwarven names). They also have other deities, that could be reflected by Sune, Waukeen, Grumbar (but this would be stretching it a bit) and so on.The elves could worship Lathander, Selune, Sune, Mielikki, Akadi, Milil and Mystra. The drow could worship Shar, Garagos, Mask, Lliira and Myrkul/Velsharoon--assuming that the latter is still around, since I've never seen mention of him in 5e (if you want to reflect their current pantheon).</blockquote>
