<< Got to agree with this. I would have thought a Pantheon was a group
of related deities (or whatever) sharing some degree of knowledge
with their worshippers (Worship xxx Pantheon), whereas the Pavis
deities (etc) are related solely by the geographical proximity of
their local worshippers.>>
No they are not. Orlanth Rex, Zola Fel, Eiritha, Oakfed, Kyger Litor, are all subservient cults to Pavis in RQ2, (sorry to refer to OOP stuff) through treaty obligations. Aldrya and Flintnail are Assosiated. That, essentially is the Pantheon. Issaries should probably be in there as well, but that is even more esoteric. Nevertheless, these deities, within Pavis, DO share a degree of knowledge with their worshippers and a Worship Pavis Pantheon is perfectly reasonable. (note Kyger Litor and Oakfed would be enemy deities)
<< I would certainly not include Aldryami or Uz
in there, the Prax tribes don't allow outsiders to join their
ceremonies, so I can't see them being in there.>>
Which Prax tribes? We are talking Pavis, not Prax Tribes. The opposite of Prax tribes.
<< Maybe just the
Theistic, settled, friendly cults could be in one Pantheon, but it
looks more to me like a rabble in the Rubble... A load of diverse
worshippers all vying for space and attention. The gods (etc) don't
look at all related.>>
They are related, they were part of a powerful and large city that is now pretty much a derelict ruin (New Pavis being a laughable little flea pit in comparison to the glory that was Pavis...)

I'm sure I should get of this list. A bit Off Topic.
