I've also pre-ordered the FR Players HB and Manual of the Planes (as well as some others, but that's besides the point). So here is my question... I am wondering if the Manual of the Planes will be out-of-the-box compatible with both the generic D&D and Forgotten Realms pantheons. What I mean is, am I going to have to do a bunch of house rules to make FR and Manual of the Planes play nice together? From reading bits and pieces from Monsters Manual, DM Guide, and FR Campaign Guide, it looks like it all works the same way... but clearly there are deity differences. Will this book cover the dominions of all deities? or just generic D&D deities? What do you guys think?

At the very least, there will probably be a sidebar detailing the environs and inhabitants of the planes of Faerun and likely another one detailing deities.
