28 - Faerûnian Pantheon: Gwaeron Windstrom Sep 06, 2020

Show notes

This is the twenty-first episode in a series about the Faerûnian Pantheon. Gwaeron Windstrom is the god of tracking and rangers of the North. Gwaeron wanders the surface Faerûn, serving as an example for all rangers to aspire to.

At the 1:54 mark I say that Gwaeron is never seen without a shirt on. This is incorrect. What I should have said was that Gwaeron is always seen without a shirt on.
