my dm just told me the dastardly Manshoon is in Dragon Heist. I am so excited to see him in the game with a stat block but I really really hope they did him the justice he deserves. I have the same thoughts around Halaster too. I hope they are done well. Post-Sundering, the gods have stepped back from mortal lives, so all their Chosen (El, Storm) have been lessened. Mystra spread her silver fire widely to make sure she could come back post-Sundering; Manshoon and Volo both had some, and have now lost it, so they're "down" too…
