Odelinde

Odelinde was a guardian naga who served as a priestess and the guardian of Windrider Glade's temple of Shaundakul circa 1369 DR.

"I was hunting in the ruins - the lizardfolk are fat this time of year. When I returned, the orc filth had overrun the shrine. They raised an idol to Gruumsh on my Lord's altar frolicked before it!"

- Odelinde the Golden Serpent

Personality
Despite her naga nature and habits of treating orcs and most other humanoids and food, she honored her deity, who was known as the benefactor for adventurers and was ready to offer aid to any creatures of such trade.

Abilities
Apart from regular abilities of guardian nagas and arcane magic, Odelinde possessed divine gifts of a cleric of Shaundakul.

History
By 1369 DR, Odelinde was the last of her family that served for many generations as protectors and clerics of the Helping Hand in his open-air shrine in Windrider Glade.

Odelinde was one of the creatures mentioned in the prophetic Song of Faerûn. Her aid was essential for the successes of the Veiled Ones, the group of adventurers who stood against the Cult of the Dragon and their occupation of Myth Drannor in 1369 DR. Odelinde felt the heroes who were traveling through the ruins and confronted them the moment they stepped into the plaza of Windrider Glade. She asked for the adventurers' help to cleanse her deity's holy land off of orcs enthralled by the corrupted magic of the pool of radiance. The power of a spawn pool latched itself to an idol worshiped by the orcs, spreading its dominating but empowering energies. The orcs overpowered Odelinde, forcing her to flee.

The Veiled Ones agreed to aid the naga, guided by Caalenfaire's prophecy. After a fierce battle, the heroes smashed defeated orcs' idol, causing the corrupted spawn pool to drain. Grateful Odelinde used her healing magic to help the adventurers on their quest, as well as provided them with invaluable information on ways of getting into Castle Cormanthor, seized by the Cult, and the corruption of Myth Drannor's mythal.
