[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 7604807, member: 6677017"] Thanks all! This is quite useful. Let me clarify part of the premise though: I'm looking for universal terms that work within the D&D multiverse. I'm not world-building. So, for some silly reason they decided that the Sumerian Pantheon and Babylonian Pantheon split into two separate pantheons. Planescape says they actually literally were once one pantheon and certain deities separated into different versions of themselves (like Istar/Innana), while others they just assigned to one pantheon or another. I don't like that decision, but I'm sticking with it because I'm preserving the lore for my multiverse. So I actually do need different terms for each of those pantheons Olympian works within the multiverse, because Mount Olympus has been re-envisioned as an important planar location, rather than an earthly mountain. Now, it's not really reasonable for me to expect everyone to have a PhD in obscure D&D lore ("I'll take layers of Arborea for $500"), so please keep the suggestions coming! Just wanted to point out for those who are familiar with the lore particulars, that I am trying to stick with them. [/QUOTE]
