Waukeen was a lesser deity of the faerunian pantheon. Waukeen known as the golden lady by some was a neutral deity whose domain was everything associated with commerce through free and fair trade, as well as illicit business dealings such as smuggling and the black market. Some of Waukeen's most predominant servants were sphinxes. Waukeen's weapon of choice was a pummeling stream of gold coins that emitted from either hand The coin cloud acted like a +5 impact evil outsider bane nunchaku. In addition, she could either spit molten gold up to 6 ft (1.8 m) or call down a flame strike that resembled a conflagration wrapped in a rotating helix of gold coins (which did disappear afterward) on any creature within 200 ft (61 m). Rather than fly she chose to walk on air, levitating and appearing to take strides as she moved. During the Time of Troubles (A period of time in forgotten realms in which Ao the OverGod, forced the deities to inhabit the material plane for past transgressions) Waukeen attempted to sneak back into her divine realm by planes hopping. In order to return to her realm she had to go through the Abyss. Waukeen attempted to make a deal with the  Dark Prince Graz'zt for safe passage through the abyss, but as soon as she entered into Graz'zt's layer she was overpowered and taken prisoner. Graz'zt then began to siphon off the divine essence of Waukeen and take control of her church, creating a schism in the church of Waukeen where many of her followers began to believe that she had sold her divinity to the demon lord and that worshiping Waukeen was actually in fact worshipping Graz'zt. This event was known as the Harlot Coin's Heresy. This ended up spawning an adventure called <a href="http://www.seads.org/tsr/tsr9574.pdf" target="_blank">For Duty and Deity</a> in which players traveled to Azzagrat to save Waukeen from Graz'zt. Waukeen was rescued but her church never fully recovered and is to this day manipulated by the Demon Lord Graz'zt. Waukeen swore vengeance upon the demon lord, but that hasn't been dealt with to this day.I actually found her stated in an old 3e <a href="http://www.reality.net/dnd/pdf/DnD-Forgotten%20Realms%20-%20Faiths%20and%20Pantheons%20+%20WE.pdf" target="_blank">book</a> along with a bunch of other deities and a primordial (Kossuth greatest among fire primordials). Waukeen is on page 87. Hope you can find some use from this, and thanks for listening to my request.</blockquote>
