So a Leachim the Learned shot an idea past me that I liked so much that I took it and ran with it. What if the Hero-deities of Greyhawk were Patrons for Warlocks in 5th edition D&D. Leachim was speaking of Kelanen, which would have been my first choice as well, and with collaboration from the Learned one, I wrote up this version of a Patron.

These are all works in progress, so if you have any ideas, changes, or suggestions, fire away, and I might alter them. I intend on making a Warlock Patron workup for each of the Hero-deities in the future, which one should I do next?

This is interesting, defenitively an alternate option for martial warlock who do want the "Hex" part of the hexblade. The main things to improve/correct:
The last Warlock archetype feature is at level 14, not 15.
Bane is a first level spell, not second level.
The "you can use your weapon as a spellcasting focus does not need to be written twice, as it should still be in effect past level 10.
Smite spells could be nice in the expanded spell list. Elemental weapon requires a nonmagical weapon, and I think pact of blade makes your weapon magical.
You used the one of the two first level features of the hexblade, but not the second. You could do something for that. Maybe the weapon as a spellcasting focus could be level one, or you could give the choice of a fighting style (dueling of two weapon fighting)
These are my thoughts at first glance.
