Description
Ibrandul was worshiped as a deity with power over the underground, darkness and stealth by the Calishites. He is now considered a "Dead" Deity due to the actions of Shar during the Time of Troubles, but this is not widely known and churches of Ibrandul still operate in the mistaken belief their God's power still holds. Shar has been known to impersonate Ibrandul, subverting Ibranduls' followers for her own dark deeds.
