Gaea

Gaea was the greater power progenitor of the greater titans and by extension the Olympian pantheon. She was also, according to some, an embodiment of every Prime Material world, though the latter was more likely just Olympian boasting. There was no evidence of direct worship for her on the Prime Material world of Toril.

Description
In her true form, Gaea is the earth itself. Her avatar took the form of a beautiful, mature and buxom woman.

Personalities
Over time some mischaracterized Gaea as some sort of schemer that jealously craved retaining her deific position and strength in light of the Olympian pantheon's rise to power. In actuality she was a very concerned and loving motherly figure. She was also rather aloof, rarely ever meddling in the affairs of mortals, and had a liking for hideous monsters.

Abilities
Avatars of Gaea could call upon spells from the spheres of can call upon the all, animal, charm, elemental, healing, plant, and weather for her spells. In addition, any being that looked uninvited upon her avatar could be petrified or blinded for one to ten days.

Overall, the power that Gaea had at her disposal far outweighed that possessed by the Olympian deity Zeus.

Possessions
The avatars of Gaea wielded a black sickle that had the power to instantly slay those struck by it.

Activities
Gaea sometimes provided aid to mortals in dire need, in return for sacrifices of fruits and animals being made to her. However, she never provided aid in fighting against hideous monsters. She potentially would even provide aid to such monsters brought to her attention.

History
According to the Olympians' understanding of how the multiverse came to be, as documented in their the tome the Great Theogony, before the everything began there was nothing but an indescribable roiling mass of chaos. From this chaos arose various aspects of nature, such as the planes of Arborea and Tarterus, and a handful of primeval gods that included Gaea and Eros. While the Olympians' story of creation was steeped in their own egocentric biases, it was true that Gaea was an incredibly old deity.

Gaea created would then create and marry the primeval god Uranus. With their union they created a race of beings known as the greater titans,   who by some accounts numbered eleven in total. Gaea then went on to birth more monstrous children, such as cyclopses and the hecatoncheires. Uranus, proving to be a cruel and jealous man, would keep all of her more monstrous children locked up. Some accounts told of them being locked up inside her earthen depths, while others told of them being locked up in Tarterus. Either way, with time Gaea grew sickened over the imprisoned state of her children. She convinced one of the greater titans, Cronus, to overthrow his father and thus avenge her mistreatment. Cronus did so,  wounding his father so severely that he perished. Cronus then married the goddess Rhea and assumed command of the greater titans, going back on his word to Gaea that he would free her monstrous brood. Furious, Gaea laid a curse upon Cronus, proclaiming that one day his own children would usurp him in turn. Eventually Gaea's curse came to pas and Cronus was usurped by his own son Zeus, who alongside his siblings led the way for the creation of the Olympian pantheon.

The newly formed Olympian pantheon's first act following this was the casting away of the majority of the greater titans into Tarterus. Not wishing for any of her children to be imprisoned, Gaea tried to send other monstrous brood against the Olympians to liberate the titans, but the new generation of gods held fast against her.

In the month of Hammer, in the, a group of adventurers from Ravens Bluff found themselves transported to the plane of Tarterus after defending the githzerai fortress of Tah'Darr from a tanar'ri incursion. At the urgings of the fallen paladin Elendil, the adventurers sought out Gaea's child Cronus for a way back to Toril.

Worshipers
Unlike other deities, Gaea did not need proper direct worshipers, which led some to claim that she wasn't a proper deity. Instead, it was believed that the constant life and movement on the Prime Material worlds was equivalent. Nor did she need require temples or sacrifices, only desiring that those on the Prime treated their worlds with love and respect.

Whenever Gaea had proper priests, they were always druids. Weapons commonly wielded by them included clubs, quarterstaves, sickles, and various agricultural implements. They had access to spells from the spheres of all, animal, divination, elemental, healing, plant, and weather. Among the spells they always had access to were cure disease and divination.

The druids of Gaea oversaw tasks appropriate to her portfolio, such as animal husbandry, planting, and ministering aid to the sick. They also often served as oracles for their communities.

Notable Worshipers
In terms of the philosophical planar factions of the multiverse, Gaea was worshiped by some members of the Sign of One.
