Akadi is the goddess of Air in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. One of four primordial elemental Lords who elected to remain in Toril after the planet was divided by Ao.

She is the goddess of freedom, flight and movement. However without any form of ethic or doctrine, she is not particularly popular. Mostly because the elemental gods arent really interested in what people do, just so long as they promote their preferred element somehow. So out of the four of them, only Kossuth has what could be measured as an organised religion, because it's quite easy to make and spread fire. Non-magical followers of Akadi can only really store up farts and pass gas in their efforts to "make wind".

Even as a patron of the Air, there are plenty of other deities who include air in their portfolios but couple them with actual teachings and lessons.

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.

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 Great Wheel cosmology).
