I really don't think Dorian will side with the Ruby Vanguard, especially now that he is together with BH again.
Dorian wants revenge against the things that hurt him and his friends. He wrote down Otohan Thull because they caused FCG to die. He wants revenge against the Spider Queen for killing Cyrus and taking Opal and Fy'ra Rai.
The Vanguard hurt Orym, and Fearne, and the rest of Bell's Hells. The Vanguard hurt Keyleth and the rest of the Ashari. The Vanguard hurt many people. Dorian is not going to stand for that.
So does he agree that some of the gods are horrible? Sure. But the Ruby Vanguard is not the sole holder of that belief. No one has ever claimed that all gods are good. The Betrayer Gods are called that for a reason.
But Dorian was searching for a direction for his anger. And the Vanguard are the most obvious and largest target.

I'm SO deeply sorry how can ANYONE think this crown keepers interlude is anything less than critically important to the story of bells hells. Like. The overbearing pulls of the gods. The parallels between Fy'ra Rai and Orym. Between Morrighan and Imogen. Opal and Laudna. Every story that starts out so bright eventually grinds down to it's bitter end. I don't even understand how you pull of a parallel story that will have definite thematic implications going forward in a fully improvised medium but they're doing it??? And it's unfathomable and incredible????

A list for me that I want to update as new ones come in! Which w/ Dorian back, hopefully not so much (But i think I found all of them so far)
Bonus Ep 6 - Orym gripping the sending stone while Dorian was away
Ep 16
Fearne - right after Dorian leaves
Ep 22
Orym — “We’re leaving Jrusar, heading southeast. Following the Treshi thread further. You’ve been missed. Hope you’re well.
Dorian — “Hey, sorry. Was sleeping. Thanks. Miss you guys too. Shit got crazy here too. Floating bar, I’ll tell you later.
Ep 31
Orym — “Hey friend. Missing you here. Could really use your special brand of optimism right now. Don’t know where you are. Hope you’re happy. Bye now.”
Dorian — “Hey! Floating bar got a little weird. Took awhile to land it. This side of the fam is keeping me busy. Miss you all too- Don’t die!”
Bonus Ep 33 - Sending stone falling from Orym's hand as he dies from Otohan
Ep 40
Orym — “Hey. Yios bound. Found them- their killers. Bigger than we thought. Read rough, Dorian. Eshteross is dead. Glad you’re not here, wish you were anyway.”
Ep 41
Dorian (via Robbie)— “Oh Orym~ My heart aches I cannot be there to help you. Find strength, stay steadfast. Sending you fairer winds. …. Is this thing on or-“

Orym — “Dorian. Update. People we’re chasing unleashing hell in a week. We’re headed there now. Odds not good. More tomorrow. Where are you?
Dorian — “Orym! With the rest of the Crown Keepers in Tal’Dorei. Opal’s getting a little dark. Little busy at the moment.. I don’t even know how to get to you.”
Ep 49
Orym — “Listen, what’s going on over here is really bad. Get the group, get underground. Stay there until you hear from me again… Miss you”
Dorian — “I'll see what I can do. There’s plenty of places underground, I’m sure. It's a little hairy on this end too. You take care of yourself. Be careful”
