In Faerun we've got the Seldarine (elven pantheon) and Moradinsaman (dwarven pantheon), but have the other racial pantheons, not least the various human / default pantheons and sub-pantheons been named?
If not, I;m sure we can come up with some good material around here. |

The giant pantheon is called the Ordning, per Giantcraft
The halfling pantheon is often called "Yondalla's Children", per Monster Mythology
There is a loose affiliation of sea deities called the Asathalfinare, which is a contraction of a longer elven term meaning "those who have their being in the sea haunted by the true dream" per Monster Mythology page 85. This group includes, Deep Sashelas, Surminare, Trishina, Persana, Syranita, Eadro, and Water Lion. Several of these might currently be classified as aquatic archfey, but I don't really know for sure.

'Gods of Fury' [the *Three Furies* of Malar, Umberlee, and Auril]. And it's still used. Brian referenced the 'Gods of Fury' concept in his working of the "Hall of the Frostmaiden" article for DRAGON #367.

Oh yeah! How oculd I possibly forget the Triad? Yup, the 'Dark Gods', there was another group of 'bad guy' powers as well, wasn't there? Lords of Fury or some such thing... Also, doesn't Calimshan and surrounding regions worship the elemental gods prevailantly under different names?

Mostly, I think they're just referred to under the titles used in the two main human-deity sources -- such as Faiths & Avatars and Powers & Pantheons. If they've official cultural terms, I don't immediately recall where they're referenced.
And there are kinds of "mini-pantheon" names among the human religious sphere, like the Triad [comprising of Torm, Tyr, and Ilmater] and 'the Dark Gods' -- noted in Cyclopedia of the Realms [pg. 17]:-
"Loviatar, Talona, and Malar serve Bane through Bhaal, although Loviatar and Talona are rivals. Bhaal and Myrkul have an unbreakable symbiotic alliance, as one delivers the dead to the other. Shar is allied with Myrkul. All of these beings are collectively known as 'the Dark Gods.'"
I'd ask Ed about the rest.
