Im looking for information on the Old Gods. Where are the best places to find them?
I’m not trying to summon the Old Gods back into existence or anything or gain some of their awesome power or anything lol but I’m trying to get a list of all of the Old Gods. Etc and all the secrets they hold, where they are. How to summon them back into existence etc.
You mean like the Cthulhu Mythos stand-ins? I don't think there is any one area, writers tend to make their own. I always thought of Tharizdun as one, as well as Kyuss but I think they're mostly active in Greyhawk. There was an old module called "Hidden Temple of Tharizdun" and I think an adventure path in Dungeon called "Age of Worms." There are articles on the net about "Elder Evils" in the Forgotten Realms and I think some stuff in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. Most of what's written down comes from older editions. There's a book series called Abolethic Sovereignty, I think. I doubt there are hard and fast rules about summoning written down anywhere. Get a used copy of Masks of Nyarlathotep from Amazon and change the names and stats.
For patron... the PHB has a short list of names for each type of patron (you can google them for real info). And Sword Coast Adventure's Guide has some overlap but each is given a short description.
That the source books anyway.
