I think when Chris says the new one Rae is inspired by one of the characters I think he's meaning 1. Pike from the first campaign not Yasha and 2. Sarenrae aka The Everlight. But he can't say Sarenrae because that is a Pathfinder deity seeing as CR started in Pathfinder.

Hello! I hail from the (relative) future with a possible explanation for the Tasha slip. I believe that at this time Chris would have been neck deep in material that was going into Tasha's Cauldron of Everything that would drop in Q4 2020. So while wrapping up this huge collaborative project for Wildemount, he was likely also thinking of another MASSIVE release coming upon the horizon. The common thread likely being "New things added to previously established, familiar canon with this new, very important sourcebook". My guess at the train of thought of this very busy man: Sarenrae ➡️ Pike ➡️ Ashley Johnson characters ➡️ Yasha ➡️ Tasha

Sarenrae, (or the Everlight) not just Rae, is the goddess they brought over from Pathfinder (of redemption and patience) and it was for Ashley's character Pike . Yasha (not Tasha) is her campaign 2 character, unrelated to Sarenrae from Campaign 1.

Actually the very first one-shot used 4th edition, which might have inspired why Mercer utilized the Dawn War pantheon for his world. Ashley didn't join till their second or third game, when they were using Pathfinder, and that's how Sarenrae was added. Hope this didn't come off too "um, actually-y." I saw someone talking about the lore and meta history of the show and got excited.

The phrase 'vax is with who he should be' is HIGHLY debatable. Vax did NOT want that outcome that happened, he wanted to live the rest of his life with Keyleth. Liam also wanted Vax to get a happy ending, but he didn't want it to be cheap or outlandish or contrived. He accepted Vax's death because the realism of the story demanded it.

I was given a full list of Greyhawk deities to 'help' me design my own pantheon. I counted 69 gods(was too young for 'nice') and scrapped everything to may about a half dozen of God all Neutral aligned for all the World to worship(I really didn't want to deal with holy wars, so I mage 'The get-a-long-Gang' Gods. It fell on its face many times, and I improved hear and there, rewrote them to convert from 2e to 3e, ans again for 3.5 and PF. In all itterations they were meant to be a single pantheon for my World. I wasn't going to make pantheon for elves, dwarves and orcs that might only be tangentially used, and certainly not the Halfling and Gnome pantheons that NO ONE wanted to bother with. The PC's would follow within this one pantheon. Any outside the 'Circle Gods' sought to make their own machinations which would cross with even the most simple of task the Circle deities00and adventure could be born from it. I've renamed gods, broken the original pantheon and killed a few, and awaken several other, older deities. All of whom work in a tentative truce and mind their domains power. A few of these gods who elevated from mortals, many more are so very old and bidding their time until they could convert more mortals to their churchs. No one race is given any special treatment over the others. Sometimes they simply turn one away from seeking help that isn't there purview. An Elf or Warforged doesn't receive much help at the church of Morpheus when neither the elf nor warforged is capable of sleep. ---Done on 3 hours sleep. Forgive me.
