In the 4e transition, it transpired that the elven goddess '''Aerdrie Faenya''' had been a fey aspect all along, despite being a member of the [[Seldarine]] since practically forever, and despite being a multispheric, interloper deity (while Akadi is restricted to Toril). In 5e, however, that retcon was undone, making Akadi and Aerdrie separate entities again.

Aerdrie is immensely more popular than Akadi because she is the patron of flying creatures and the sky, rather than just "Air" so she finds worship and reverence amongst many of the winged races, as well as land bound people who pray for good weather or protection from storms. She also is said to represent the Elven race's expression of freedom and impulse.

Although "Good", she is also considered to be far more chaotic and flighty than the other members of the Seldarine, therefore her realm, which ostensibly remains part of Arvandor, swings philosophically between the realms of [[Arborea]] and [[Ysgard]] (at least in the [[Planescape|Great Wheel cosmology]])''.
