I was wondering why it wasn't in the Compendium. I know Forgotten Realms is the default setting for 5e, but I thought the SRD-OGL included them as universal examples of what can be used.
I know what's in the Basic Rules. I was talking about what was in the SRD-OGL document used for much of what DDB has that the Basic Rules does not cover. In this case Appendix PH-B: Fantasy-Historical Pantheons, with Celtic, Greek, Egyptian, and Norse Deities.
Both the Basic Rules and the SRD content is currently in Beyond. It is all being referred to as Basic Rules.
I think TheWheatOne is aware of that fact, but is wondering where Appendix PH-B from the SRD document (found in version 5.1 on page 360) can be found on DDB or why it was not included although it is officially part of the SRD.
Let it be known that the Gods of this land and many others have spoken! They have returned to the wonderful site known as Beyond! (also known as 'staff have fixed it', thanks for letting us know!)
No, I just mean several spacing and enter errors. For example:
The Greek Pantheon
The gods of Olympus make themselves known with the gentle lap of waves against the shores and the crash of the thunder among the cloud-enshrouded peaks. The thick boar-infested woods and the sere, olive-covered hillsides hold evidence of their passing. Every aspect of nature echoes with their presence, and they’ve made a place for themselves inside the human heart, too.
It suddenly is on a different line after "aspect" when its clear its not a new paragraph.
I went ahead and just fixed it myself. I understand its a minor thing so I don't want to keep poking you guys. Thank you again for DDB, its hard to wait for the next phase :)

The Norse Pantheon
Where the land plummets from the snowy hills into the icy fjords below, where the longboats draw up on to the beach, where the glaciers flow forward and retreat with every fall and spring—this is the land of the Vikings, the home of the Norse pantheon. It’s a brutal clime, and one that calls for brutal living. The warriors of the land have had to adapt to the harsh conditions in order to survive, but they haven’t been too twisted by the needs of their environment. Given the necessity of raiding for food and wealth, it’s surprising the mortals turned out as well as they did. Their powers reflect the need these warriors had for strong leadership and decisive action. Thus, they see their deities in every bend of a river, hear them in the crash of the thunder and the booming of the glaciers, and smell them in the smoke of a burning longhouse.
The Norse pantheon includes two main families, the Aesir (deities of war and destiny) and the Vanir (gods of fertility and prosperity). Once enemies, these two families are now closely allied against their common enemies, the giants (including the gods Surtur and Thrym). Like the gods of Greyhawk, gods in different families sometimes have overlap in their spheres of influence: Frey (of the Vanir) and Odur (of the Aesir) are both associated with the sun, for example.

Thank you greatly! This will be great for my setting-neutral characters that need dieties.
Ah, just to note though, there seems to be a few lines off the description text that were copy pasted wrong.
