Not much is known about Valkur's origins, other that he was a ship captain from Mintarn who supposedly challenged [[Umberlee]] herself and managed to beat her, earning him elevation to becoming a demigod, with help from the Red Knight. He is depicted as a jolly sea captain, complete with blue coat and black beard, manning the helm of his great galleon '''''Windjammer''''' which can fly. 

His worship is performed on seagoing vessels, and many of his clerics ''(called "Wavetamers")'' act as crewmen on ships to the point that they can receive double-blessings from [[Selûne]] to aid their navigation skill due to the fact that both deities are friends. Even though he has is own vessel; the Windjammer, his primary temple is actually a separate vessel called '''''The Schooner of the Seas''''' which may have been gifted to Valkur by [[Gond]] and is unmatched in size and speed, serving as a floating cathedral. A second floating church called '''''The Temple of Endless Waves and Wind''''' is built on the back of a giant sea turtle and swims around the Sea of Fallen Stars and is said to have reached its location by being carried overland on back of an army of reef giants during the [[Time of Troubles]].

Valkur does have temples on land which are marked by tall wooden columns and sheets of cloth reminiscent of ship masts, though he is practically unknown in inland areas. Originally he was considered somewhat unreliable as a deity of choice, since he would routinely forget to answer the prayers of his faithful, causing him to become a god to be placated rather than venerated, though since the Time of Troubles his attitude became far more pro-active and hence his worship spread rapidly.

Of this merry little pantheon of battle-demigods, Valkur is the only one to have actually expanded into the Core D&D pantheon, getting his profile reprinted in ''Stormwrack'' where he exists in pretty much exactly the same form.
