Avandra first appears as one of the deities described in the Players Handbook for fourth edition (2008).[2]
Avandra is friends with Melora, Sehanine and Corellon - they are collectively known as "the Four Free Gods", and Avandra's exalted usually spend their afterlives in and around Arvandor, the dominion of Corellon and Sehanine.[3] Avandra's most hated adversary is Zehir.[4] She is also an enemy of Asmodeus, the lord of tyranny, and Torog, god of jailors, whom her followers fight at any opportunity.[5]
Avandra's temples are few in civilized lands, but her wayside shrines appear throughout the world.[6] In the Temple of the Fates she is worshiped as a god of destiny alongside Ioun and the Raven Queen. Teleportation Circles are often found in temples of Avandra.[7] Avandra has a shrine in the Moonsong Temple of Fallcrest.[8]
In 4th edition, Aasterinian is a blue dragon exarch serving as Avandra's messenger.[9]
