A Pantheon is a collection of Deities, Gods, and/or God-like beings that make up a sort of organization to guide mortals of that sphere or reality. Different races, regions, and nations worship different Pantheons, and even worship within those Pantheons differently, but each of these powerful beings does have their own preferences and desires, much like any other mortal would. These desires and preferences determine the rituals used to worship them, the practices used to spread their faith, and even the way they personally interact with their worshippers - how they give them power being amongst that.
In the end, though. All deities, otherworldly beings, creatures, and aspect that exist serve and are a part of The Balance as dictated by the distant, watchful authority of the Overgod, Lord Ao; whose power grants Him dominion over all Pantheons of Realmspace.
The table(s) below are pulled directly from Wizard's of the Coast's Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. As Gods are mentioned in the tale, or become important to either parties' knowledge and collective concious, then I will add an additional page for that specific Deity and they will have a link added here for faster navigation to said God. As with all conent shared on World Anvil, it will be based on how the party has interacted with the foundational lore of Wizard's published IPs that has been built on, but base meta knowledge will be placed so we all have that foundation to build from!
