*you could make a religion out of this*
Yes

EpicWatermelon 36 yes please
Time to conquer all of DnD
Most of DnD
The History of Dungeons and Dragons i guess
WotC really needs to release a Gods book like Volo's and Mordenkainen, because it'll help with expanding the knowledge of these deities for 5e, their followers and other aspects for Clerics/Paladins/Druids/DMs. a book about Celestials, Fey and the realms/deities of Good would also help for evil campaigns
Yes. This. All of this. I like this idea.
"The god of WONTON DESTRUCTION"
Never taking Gruumsh to a buffet if he displays such wanton disregard for good food.
Yeah better direct him towards the Egg Drop
I was hoping that someone else would notice this lol

@@2hatsontop475 hol' up.
2 Hats On Top I think that’s the joke
John. F Kennedy I think, I don't know, but I think that was on purpose.
Vecna's a God? I thought we stopped him on a certain livestream!
God in one campaign, demigod in another one.
An alternate reality where Vecna wins
Well technically he's stuck in Ravenloft, incapable of ascending to godhood and incapable of conquering his former ally and subordinate, the ascendant Kass, who opposes him with an army in a never ending battle of death, undeath, and ressurrection.
Why do I have the feeling that both of you don't get that there's no "this is how it is"? There is nothing such as a set of rules on how Vecna works and what his story is. There are as many versions of Vecna as there are DMs using him. TSR made him a lich turned demigod who killed the circle of eight; Mercer made him a lich who'd failed to become a god once before; I made him an elven scholar who destroyed the knowledge of an entire empire, causing it to fall. For most of the gods I rarely use more than the name and general description. "Pelor, the God of Light"? Great, I don't care what the books say, he's now a Paladin who rose to godhood.
Don't hold on to what others have written down for their world, take it and make it your own
Also everyone noticed that one of the pictures shown in Iouns part was clearly Scanlan Shorthalt
"I will start with BAhamut or as he is less commonly pronounced, BahaMUT"
I'll stick to BaHAmut, thank you very much :P
oO PPH Oo you do that but I’ll keep pronouncing it “BAEhamut”
@@quietshift Well, he IS bae. Can't argue with that.
I just say Behemoth.
bahamuT
Very correct, except you got it the wrong way around
For those that don’t already know, these gods are not the vanilla 5e pantheon, but more akin to the dawn war pantheon (Pelor, for example being a greyhawk deity). For a brief overview of those gods, take a peak at the back of the PHB and do a little research on them!
Forgotten Realms gods are instantly forgettable...
@@johnharrison2086 Which is why Corallon, Bane, and freakin' Lolth are mentioned in this proposed pantheon, yes. Although mayhap your missing that more proves your point than refutes it.
This is all like another language to me. A new player trying to understand the differences let alone in 1e-5e .-.
@@boobah5643 stop trying to sound smart dude, its goofy
@@boobah5643 two of those three gods are from Greyhawk originally
Fool, you forgot the strongest God, the DM!!!
The Dm is only the pawn the true god is the mystic in the party
@@camerondavis6842 My God...How could I have forgotten?!?
The only good goblins are the ones that don’t come out of their stinking holes!
@@benskolnik7004 Indeed
The DM is no God.
The DM is completely invincible to anything in the D&D universe.
Also, @Ben Skolnik
I understood that reference.
(The Cleric, Paladin, and hypnotized Goblin all begin to shout) Lathander, Lathander, Lathander!
SIGMAR

He's just a regional misinterpretation of Pelor. This vexes Pelor greatly, but thankfully we can ignore the Forgotten realms.
I am planning on playing a Oath of Redemption Paladin worshipping Lathander!
While lore-wise some of the info is incorrect (which sometimes doesn’t matter at all), this is honestly an amazing overview for a lot of deities and a great way to get an idea of what goes on in the Divine pantheons. It’s always a massive celestial tug of war from all sides when it comes tot he D&D multiverse. And adventurers inevitably are a part of that.
Well, what is correct changes all the time. And from campaign to campaign anyway.
What is the lore of the Raven Queen? Is it the mortal who, after her death was forced to become the mate of Nerull, till she got rid of him and absorbed some of his powers? Or is it the elven queen who sought power to stop the war between Corellon and Lolth but was betrayed during her ascension, which shattered her body and mind?
See? In something like Elder Scrolls or Warcraft there may be an official lore, but D&D doesn't have that. There might be a "right" for the Forgotten Realms, one for Krynn, or one for Eberron, but every campaign is unique, and so is it's lore; including the history and portrayal of the gods
Davos Well there IS lore. The problem is that some things changes from edition to edition with 5e really omitting things or focusing entirely on Forgotten Realms after 4e (which from what I hear was a train wreck when it comes to previous lore). However, a big point of D&D has always been the fact that you can play it however you want. But if you throw the game aspect out the window and just look at the content and tales, there’s actually a lot of things that are “cannon” so to speak with some progressing stories. Of course whether one cares or not depends just like what is considered personally true depends. But there is lore for sure. Just depends on interpretation and personal preference.

Bro sick smoke overlay effect. The channel's quality is steadily getting better and better!
This was awesome! I hope you guys make a part 2!
No, not wonton destruction! What other dumpling will suffice?
I was just wishing I knew about this, and then you uploaded it. Perfect timing!
As a brand new player these videos have been so helpful! Keep up the awesome work!!
i reject your pantheon and substitute my own.
Dungeon master, niiice
Glad to see more of the d&d universe series
Don't like this list of Gods? You can always take the cool Gods from other Pantheons. Like Ah Mazen Cab, the Mayan god of BEES.
Mohamad107 there is a god of bees? Where do I sign up for worship?

An interesting video, keep up the good work as always
Perfect timing guys. Right now I'm running a game with an incredibly charismatic and rich in backstory Firbolg Paladin. Wanted to give him the best holy experience so that video was a blessing. Cheers.
Stop reading my mind.
I've been wanting lore videos. It doesn't seem like there are many.
Thank you for this.
Thanks a bunch, really hard to find a comprehensive summary of this what with all the other pantheons and settings out there confusing things.
I really like the more mature presentation! Other kinds of videos are fun. But this was much much better. Looks good.
That was Great information thanks for that.
Enjoyed this look at the gods. Video on the deities of the forgotten realms from the phb in the future?
Very nice art you used here.
Keep up the good content!!!
Literally exactly what I needed right now!
I sorta wish you did your other videos more like this as it makes it easier to understand for me.
Thanks, this will help me with my gods in my campaign.
My setting has four tiers of Gods:
Ancients: these gods are the representation of their respective domains. The blue eyed crow is the ancient God of destruction. Without the blue eyed crow, nothing could ever be destroyed. These gods together form the universe, and act on pure instinct. All of these gods are omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.
The Far Ones: these gods rule everything that isn't. These are gods of impossibility, incomprehension and nothingness. Gods of everything that could have been, or could never have been. By far the weirdest gods. (I usually tie them to all the lovecraftian stuff)
The Aspects: these gods are aspects of the Ancients. They differ in that their existence is not necessary for the existence of the universe, and that they possess will, thoughts, personalities etc. They are also not omnipotent, omniscient or omnipresent.
The Faithmade: faithmade gods are easy enough to understand. They are gods brought forth by the faith of believers. This is where a lot of classical gods would end up. Jehovah, Shiva, Pelor, the Raven Queen.
In my world, one of the biggest theological debates is whether Faithmade gods are just Aspects molded by beliefs to better communicate with believers.
Would the aspects communicate with the ancient ones? Acting like a sort of receptionist or middle man to them?
@@j.w.7608 The ancients are more like forces of nature than sentient beings, so they can't really communicate in that way. The aspects simply represent different parts of the ancients. Communication is not necessary because they are kinda part of the same being.
However, since the ancients are more just forces of nature, and the aspects are the actually sentient gods, nobody really prays to the ancients. All those prayers go to the aspects since they actually can listen and answer.
For that reason, there are no clerics, paladins or warlocks that channel the power of the ancients. I do rule that sorcerers can get their power from the ancients, but more as in that maybe they once encountered an ancient and simply by being in its presence, they were charged with so much magical energy that they can do sorcery.
@@lexsmithee652 ahh thank you for clarifying!!
Thanks for the handy explanation
Thank you from every new cleric player.
GREAT VIDEO!
Can you guys maybe do a pantheon overview of the gods in Eberron? I just love that setting and I like how they handle religion in it.
As a DM I use the Dawn wars pantheon and this was really helpful
Please do the Great Old Ones!!
Its the most mysterious of all
Lord Zephyros yeet yeet Cthulhu
Lord Zephyros thurazdun IS the great old one damnit
Where is Best God Cayden Cailean? The dude who’s origin story is “Got drunk, woke up a God.”. Praise his name
That's Pathfinder, not D&D. Different pantheon
Great introduction to the default 4th edition pantheon. New players should be aware that cosmogony varies by campaign setting. Players should ask their game master what the cosmogony of your setting is before choosing to follow a god.
This video is so different from the newer stuff I've seen! No less interesting or helpful, but I wasn't expecting it to be so free of shenanigans.
Ooo! I like this list of deities!
"God of Wan-ton Destruction" Hey, so am I! I just love chinese food! Thank you I'll be here all week.
RIP to this style of video from Logan. I actually now want more videos of vanilla D&D. Like the history of Faerun its clans and kingdoms. It's nice for people who are starting a prewritten adventure or going to join an adventure league etc. And also videos like these for Wildemount and Eberron too. Yes please.
Now for a video on the Greyhawk Gods. I need me some more Istus love in this world
Very informative
Id love in depth videos on any these and usually just know the god that are of the race orc gruumsh, dwarf moradin, ect but i feel most of us newer players that haven't been playing 10+ years are really missing a lot of lore with most if not all of the gods of d&d and unless its gods that hate others its hard to think of what the personality of that god is which makes it hard for Dm to really dive into gods unless a player specifically brings one in most of us i feel wouldnt know what a god wants in the world other then for their followers to win and maybe one other god to be the first to loose. any tips for a dm that really wants to show his new players how different and plentiful the gods are?
A 4e pantheon video in 2018? Never before have I been more surprised
Love your vids
This was great! Can you do similar videos for the other Pantheons?
Dawn War is BY FAR the simplest pantheon in D&D, so a video on other pantheons would be quite difficult.
My only issue is some weird pronunciation and mispelling Tempest as "Tempist", but top tier content nonetheless. Can't wait to show this to my newer players.
THANK YOU. I've been trying to figure out who the big Gods in D and D were. I'm playing a Chaotic Good Barbarian, and wasn't sure what God he should worship. I guess Kord is my guy. 😁
I didn't notice the Good, Neutral, Evil layout until the evil column started. It was kool tho
Awesome video!! You just might want to cut out the last second though, we can hear someone shuffling with the mic (audio disturbance)
how2 pally when
also thanks for all these explained videos, they help out a lot!
Tempest is spelt "tempest", not "tempist"
"Spelled".

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Manu the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Descriptivists would tell you. It's a Prescriptivist legend. Darth Manu was a Dark Lord of the Prescriptivists, so powerful and so wise he could use the Grammar to influence the words to correct spellings... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from misspelling. The dark side of the Grammar is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice corrected him in his sleep. Ironic, he could save others from misspellings, but not himself.
Manu Tarazona 10/10
And having missed that listing in the video itself, I find myself suspecting it's really supposed to be 'Tempus,' patron of Viking analogs and a god of weather and battle (but not so much war).
Would you say it tem-pissed you off?
What a great video
Very nice video
Now this is a religion i can get behind
Ummm GARL GLITTERGOLD??? Where my Gnomes at?
Is it wrong that the gods in my campaign are fabulous rock stars from real life like david bowie and freddie mercury?
If you want to use real gods in your settings, no one is going to stop you.
So you're campaign is set in the Brutal Legend universe?
YESSIR
No. This is perfection
Does that mean all bards go to heaven?
So much MTG art up in this video.
I feel like 5e needs a comprehensive list of all deities by now. There are four books which contain lists of deities and each has gods that the others don't.
Good vid, but what about those the Shou worship? About to play a Shou Cleric/Monk and was wondering whom he would follow as a peace domain cleric.
The art for Torog is... f***ing terrifying!
Why does Logan sound like he’s a robot with a cold.
Wow! This guy is cool! He should make his own channel!
What is.....
THIS.........
*HERESY???*
*WHERE IS SIGMAR?*
*WHERE IS THE GOD* *EMPEROR OF MAN?*
WHERE ARE THE VOID GODS?
THE FOUR ARMED EMPEROR?
Oh crap you're from the old universe, aren't you? Well the God-Emperor, blessed be His name, channeled the incredible psychic explosion caused by His "death" in order to deal a death-blow to the Ruinous Powers. In a last-ditch attempt to keep Chaos alive, they gave the Daemon Princes that may yet survive all that remained of their power, indirectly granting them all free will. The Emperor reclaimed what Sons could be saved and destroyed whatever Chaos remained in their souls, returning them to His light. He shattered and all His radiant goodness coalesced into the primarchs, giving them rebirth as the new gods of Law and Goodness. Those Daemon Princes and Daemon Primarchs that strayed from the Emperor's light and refused to return became the new gods of Chaos and Evil. The Neutral gods are the unified fragments of the new gods that did not fit within their new domains and were expelled, forming these strange beings. All caught up now?
already new that bud, were u talking to the other one?
@@gasrat3138 yeah, my comment took a while to write, I actually started before you posted.
oh lol
4:51 the description you give for tiamat suggests that she should be chotic evil(not "chaotic evil" but "choatic" & "evil")
I would think that being both chaotic and evil makes one "chaotic evil" >_> but yes, I agree that Tiamat seems like she should be CE.
Yea a new episode on my birthday.
Maybe do a video like this on the Farunian pantheon?
you and Davvy Chappy need to team up on stuff
Add esper the bard in there and you got a party.
IKR I just got into Davvy Chappy and see he gives the synopsis of the class and subclasses while XP to Lvl 3 gives the leveling skills a perfect pair

Oh boy. Fjord is in it deep now.
The art for Moradin is Purphoros, god of the forge from Magic: The Gathering....cool
“His methods are methodical...” Hahaha! I still love you. Even Rushdie and Bulgokov threw out a few bad lines here and there.
P.S. No disrespect! Please keep making solid videos about stuff I love.
5:50 "Wonton destruction" lol
5:49 the god of *wonton* destruction
truly, the foulest of deities; leave my takeaway alone!
I like that Zeus from Smite is the first pic
5:48 Nuuuu, not the god of wonton destruction! What will I eat with my dim sims now?! ; o ;
You should make a video about transmutation
as a paladin main, this was helpful
Decided to Multiclass Ranger and druid for a campaign. Wish me luck.
Where would the new cleric domains from SCAG, XGtE etc (Arcana, Grave, Forge...) fit into which gods' portfolio and domains?
where'd you get the art for each of them? loved it
My favorite Forgotten Realms diety is The Mask
That image of Zehir reminds me of the Traveler...
Vecna apparently also wrote the original version of the book of vile darkness.
Maybe do one on the many other patrons of warlock?

Question: A friend and I made human clerics who were raised by elves, both characters eventually came to worship the Eladrine (specifically Hanali and Corellon respectively), but is it possible to become a cleric of any of the Eladrine as a race other than the elf?
