Waukeen is the fictional goddess of coins and wealth in the Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting of Forgotten Realms. Waukeen or The Merchant's Friend, rules over deals done above and below the table. She believes that mercantile trade is the best road to enrichment. She frowns upon destroying good trade goods, and favours those who oppose the propagation of malicious rumors that could harm someone's commerce.
During the Time of Troubles, Waukeen was captured and enslaved in the Abyss. Lliira, the Goddess of Joy, took on Waukeen's portfolio and saw to her followers from that time until Waukeen's eventual escape.
Waukeen has no enemies besides Mask and the demon lord that held her captive, Graz'zt.
