Shaundakul

Shaundakul, the Rider of the Winds, was the Faerûnian lesser deity of traveling and travelers, exploration, caravans, the wind as well as mining and miners. Lord Ao gifted him with the portfolio of portals and portal-walking. He manifested bodily as a bearded man who wore a traveler's cape and was armed with a greatsword called the Sword of Shadows.

Divine Realm
The Rider of the Wind maintained his realm called Shaunidaur on Ysgard's first layer.



Relationships
The goddesses Beshaba and Shar opposed Shaundakul. He was said to have once had a romantic relationship with Selûne, from which ensued the birth of their daughter, Bright Nydra.

History
In the year of the Blue Fire, 1385 DR, Shaundakul disappeared without a trace during the Spellplague.

At least some of his worshipers kept the faith, with one temple outside of the city of Arabel continuing to receive pilgrims for the next century. After the magical chaos of the Spellplague subsided, Shaundakul returned to Toril at the head of a throng of displaced people and creatures, who had been lost on other worlds. He began travelling the world in mortal disguises, revealing his true identity only to his most devout followers and priests.
