Shaundakul (Shaun-da-call)
Overview
Not much is known of Shaundakul, but he is a lonely deity of few words who lets his deeds speak for him. He is kind but stern, with a rugged sense of humor that sometimes comes to the fore. His faith is on the upswing in part because of his willingness to personally recruit worshipers while manifesting in the world in physical form. He is said to have come to Aralla after his world was destroyed during the Calamity.Portfolio and Responsibilities
He is god whose portfolio includes travelers, loners, exploration, portals, and caravans. His worship is often shunned by most, as he is what is considered one of the first Invader Gods alongside Lolth and Dahak. Today, the church of Shaundakul attracts many brave adventurers and daring explorers to its ranks and he often appears to offer his aid and patronage in their travels.Divine Domains

Example Paladin Codes
Under the vast skies and boundless horizons, guided by the enigmatic Shaundakul, I vow to uphold the virtues of the lone traveler, binding myself to these solemn principles:- In every shadowed alley and uncharted path, I shall find adventure. My heart yearns for the mysteries the world holds, and I shall uncover them.
- To those who wander without direction, I will be their compass, guiding them to safety and purpose.
- In moments of solitude, I shall find strength and wisdom. For in the quiet, I hear Shaundakul's whispers.
- As Shaundakul is an Invader God, so too shall I stand by those who are considered outsiders, understanding that every soul has its story.
- Actions speak louder than words. I will let my deeds echo my commitment, serving as a testament to Shaundakul's guidance.
