	Given his "traditionalist" views, Erastil is surprisingly and thankfully the source of very little controversy - at worst, outside of people outright projecting their own politics and using him as a cover, complaints will center around his belief predetermined "place" for women, so to speak (and that ''has'' generated some [[Skub\|relatively minor ire]] of course). Regardless, he's not one of the more popular Good-aligned deities among players, outside of those who want easy access to [[bow\|longbows]]. The stigma of being an asshole conservative grandpa is sadly hard to shake.

	In those chaotic dark ages communities of farmers and hunter-gatherers banded together to work co-cooperatively to rebuild from the ashes, following Ol' Deadeye's practical advice and guiding principles to survive. Though his faith began to wane with the growth of civilizations and cities once more, it can be assured that he is still shown reverence in any small farming community or in those wild areas that still remain. It is this conflict between modernity and practicality that drives a wedge between Erastil and [[Abadar]]. Some devotees of Erastil refuse to even enter cities because the lifestyle there is antithetical to the simple grounded living which Erastil would prescribe.

			After years of wondering "Wait, if he just wants his followers to settle down, why would any traveling adventurer worship this guy?", 2e ''Gods and Magic'' clarified that he's perfectly okay with worshippers being adventurers, so long as they plan to '''eventually''' settle down, or are doing what they're doing specifically to protect- or provide for their home, family, or community. It also emphasized that he's not ''that'' kind of conservative, being just fine with non-traditional families and those of different gender identities or preferences as long as they pull their weight in the community.
