Avandra

Avandra fought in both the Creation War and the Demon Spawn War. In the Great Expanse her halfling armies faced those of Hettar and in the follow-on war they battled Demogorgon's abyssal hordes. Demogorgon's brutality and genocidal tactics made him a forever enemy of Avandra. She also led a special operation on the world Cryphoeca neutralizing the neogi race for many generations.

Avandra is the patron goddess for many of Bal-Kriav's halflings. In the Fifth Suellk Invasion, she felt the ruin of two of her top churches, one in the Fargimdal capital city and the other in Isumbras. The attacks on Avandra's places of worship were incited by a neogi sect of Mokerrian seeking to avenge Avandra's attempt to neutralize the neogi. This happened in the Demon Spawn War when it was learned that Cryphoeca's neogi were planning to join the side of the demons. Avandra and her angels used a holy gas on the neogi decision makers that was to cause confusion among them. This gas seeped down into the lower levels of the palace where it infected hundreds of neogi eggs; special ones chosen to be the most fit and intelligent of the species. The holy poison caused all the neogi born from these eggs to be sterile, setting back neogi civilization for several generations.
