Azuth (ah-ZOOTH or AH-zooth)

Azuth is the Atherian lesser deity of arcane magic whose concerns included the perpetuation of the magical arts as a craft. He is a servant of Mystra and worshiped by all manner of arcane spellcasters, earning particular veneration from wizards.
Personality Azuth often came across as crotchety and cantankerous, even to other gods and was somewhat misunderstood. His dry wit and unending devotion to the pursuit of the arcane rubbed others the wrong way. Worshipers The clergy of Azuth were collectively known as the Magistrati and included wizards, monks, and clerics within their ranks. They preferred to maintain their temples within large cities, align themselves with powerful magical guilds, and act as a sort of magical administration to facilitate communication between spellcasters and enforce the Magebond.
Among the highest order of Azuth's followers were a group of arcane paragons known as the Favoured. These heralds of magical development furthered the channelling of the Weave by formulating arcane processes, a process viewed as the apex of magical science among the faithful.
The church of Azuth were widely viewed as archaic in their tradition, pedantic in their debates, and oblivious to the real-world problems within the Realms. They often possessed a moral neutrality that garnered an unfavourable opinion by the average layperson. Orders Loomwarden: A stern sect of the church of Azuth that was distrusting of sorcerers and the more chaotic nature of Mystra's power.
Spellsavants: This tolerant order of mages urged for cooperation between all practitioners of the arcane and idealized the cumulative efforts of humanity as a whole to push the boundaries of magical knowledge.
