🌾 Chauntea

Goddess of Growth, Harvest, and Stability

Chauntea is the most widely worshiped deity in Faerûn, because everyone eats. She represents stability, patience, and the slow work that keeps societies alive between wars and catastrophes.

Unlike Silvanus, Chauntea embraces civilization—but only when it respects the land. Exhausting the soil, hoarding food, or exploiting farmers are spiritual crimes in her faith.
