Ao

(a.k.a. The Overgod, The Hidden One, The Watcher, The One Who is Hidden)

Lord Ao (pronounced: /ˈeɪoʊ/ AY-oh) is the Overgod of the worlds of Abeir-Toril and the Realmsian embodiment of The Balance, showing no aspects of any extremes. As Overgod, all deities and primordials of Abeir and Toril, even those who also operated in other spheres and planes, such as Lolth and Tyr, were subject to him. To be more precise, only aspects of gods directly connected with Abeir-Toril were under the power of the Hidden One.

Quotes & Catchphrases

Ao would see that which sets us all apart from the beasts: the magnificence of deed and achievement, love and friendship and aiding one another-that which soars above mere survival. And so, of course, ye come into the picture.
