Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pauper" data-source="post: 7277400" data-attributes="member: 17607">I get you -- in fact, this is even more of an issue now, because the lore for the Hexblade actually mentions the Raven Queen, despite XGE supposedly being a Realms resource, and based on the 'mentions are enough' rule, would imply that the Raven Queen is now also a legal AL deity.Lore-wise, the SCAG actually mentions this in their section on Mulhorand -- the gods of the Mulhorandi slowly became more and more withdrawn from the affairs of mortals, to the point where today, the 'Mulhorandi pantheon' is basically a group of living demi-gods that actually dwell in Mulhorand. A number are mentioned in that sidebar we've been talking about. But there's no indication that the Mulhorandi demi-gods serve as clerical patrons in the same sense that the listed gods of SCAG are -- there are no domains for them, as one example.Yep, for the same reason that the Celtic god of the Forge isn't currently AL legal, despite the Moonshae Isles (not far from the Sword Coast) being an explicitly Celtic region of FR with its own Celtic-inspired pantheon (including Belenus, god of the sun).I don't really have a problem with players who are knowledgeable about FR lore wanting to use that lore with their characters -- it demonstrates a level of interest and commitment to the campaign which, in my experience, generally pairs with players who are great to have at the table. It's just that, as a DM, it's hard to justify allowing those sorts of things under DM Empowerment when the rules strongly suggest those things shouldn't be allowed.And I'm OK either ditching the Cat Lord or making him an aspect of Sharess, who is the actual FR "Mother of Cats".--Pauper</blockquote>
