Adon

Adon of Sune is a prominent character in the Avatar Series, which details the Time of Troubles.

At the start of the Avatar Crisis he is a young and handsome cleric of Sune, goddess of beauty. With his Companions Midnight, Kelemvor Lyonsbane and Cyric he sets out on a quest to save the Lady of Mysteries, Mystra, who has been captured by the Lord of Strife Bane. During the events of the Avatar Crisis, the young cleric is gravely wounded, leaving a long scar on the side of his face, disillusioned by the the apparent lack of interest from Sune, he turns his back on her, refusing to worship so vain and uncaring a deity. In Tantras Adon meets the avatar of Torm the True, with whom he works to trick the overly-zealous clergy of Torm, who unknowingly to the God of Duty has brutally driven worshippers of all other faiths from the city and kept one of the two Tablets of Fate hidden from him.

After Torm and Bane defeat each other in a struggle over Tantras, Adon as well as Kelemvor and Midnight begin their journey to take the one Tablet of Fate to Waterdeep.

At the end of the Crisis when the Overgod Ao uplifts Midnight and Cyric to godhood, Adon finds his vision restored by the symbol of the new Mystra, his former friend and companion, and he takes up her worship, starting the reborn faith of Mystra.

As the Avatar Series continue, Adon is tricked by Cyric, mad due to the effects of reading the Cyrinishad, and gazes into Cyric's mind. This causes Adon to see everything as Cyric does, thus turning mad, seeing Mystra as a vicious beast and eventually suiciding in the chaos of Cyric's and Mystra's call to worship him.

In the process of Cyric being in trial by the Greater Gods, Adon had Kelemvor open his own soul to him, making him see everything as the God of Death sees it. Adon saw Mystra finally as she truely is, and was received to her realm of Dweomerheart.
