Random #insomnia thought… If the different worlds: FR, Grehawk, etc. are all different material planes, and gods usually reside on outer planes, what prevents Nerull or The Devourer from invading Faerun? @SageAdviceDnD @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford @mikemearls

I think my phrasing missed my intent. What prevents evil gods of one material plane from attacking any other? Racial gods (Moradin, Corellon, etc.) can cross over, so why don't/can't others? Is there only one Yondalla for all planes, or a a different Yondalla for each one?

There is one of each god, and most gods are drawn to worlds where they have worshipers. Asmodeus, for example, has worshipers on many worlds. Some gods, like Tiamat, adopt different names on different worlds. #wotcstaff https://t.co/SI0pm3l6lS

Asbrodeus has worshipers at Swifty Pete's Sports Grill.

IIRC, her Demonweb plane she lives on has gates to hundreds of worlds, Dungeon issue 94 had an adventure which featured parts of the Demonweb which was drawing parts of conquered worlds into it, 'The Harrowing'.

Lolth is a great example of a god who invades many worlds. If your world has spiders, it probably has been visited by Lolth (or will be soon). #wotcstaff https://t.co/IllHVojPvn

Takhisis is a whole heck of a lot more powerful on Krynn. When she’s not dead.

Being dead can slow you down a bit. https://t.co/VVEKOnjvnQ
