Chauntea is as old as Toril itself. Hers is the divine spark that gave life
to the natural world; the vibrant, caring spirit infused with the planet at
the moment of its creation. Originally a deity of wild places and animal life,
Chauntea has grown with her world, changing and adapting to its many developments.
Chauntea loves the inhabitants of her world, and she likes nothing more than
instructing Toril's denizens on how the land itself might enrich their lives.
Today, Chauntea is worshipped as the Great Mother of agriculture, the kind
benefactor who ensures a strong harvest, healthy meals, and robust country living.
Followers of Chauntea may use their high favor to supplicate (see help
supplicate) for recall to a safe haven and resurrection. If they are
extremely holy, they may ask for and receive artifacts of Chauntea.
