Actually, he has. The book Finder's Bane states that he is now a very minor god, due to having absorbed Moander's power (though he has not taken his place). In that book, he is described as having only two priests, and only a handful of followers. His portfolio, such as it is, mostly is in competition with other bard/music deities, though I think he leans more towards the advenuring/magic side of such things.
That's all I know, though, and I could be wrong. I haven't read that book in a while . . . . |

Finder Wyvernspur, aka the Nameless Bard and the creator of Alias of Westgate, is a very-high level bard, probably in the 20th levels or so. He is tall and slightly thin, tanned, with chiseled features such as high cheekbones and a strong jaw. He has medium-length brown hair, combed sideways ( kinda like Tom Cruise, or something), and stern green eyes. He appears to be a human male in his mid 40s. He has a goatee that is brown except for a strip of white starting just below his lower lip and down the middle of his chin. He wears several rings and noble clothes. On an important note: after the battle with Moander , Finder was infected with the god's tendrils of possesion, which have taken over his body so that all his innards will eventually be replaced by rotted vines and such. This process is evidenced by a flower which comes out of his left earhole, around his ear and stays on his hair as if it were just placed there cause its cute. Finder could have had the possession removed with a Remove Curse spell, but since it failed to control his mind (maybe because of his absurd pride , which is a very possible theory, or perhaps because the possession seeds misfired, who knows), he decided to keep it because it would allow him to live forever.
In case you are wondering: after killing Moander in the god's plane by diving into his body ( a HUGE pile of rotten stuff) wielding a dagger with a piece of para-elemental ice on the tip , Finder flew out into Tarterus and decided to travel around for as long as he felt like it, now that he was immortal. He hasn't been seen since then ( or so I believe.)
The tale of the Nameless Bard was told in the Finder's Stone Trilogy, a series of novels.
This was my first post, and hopefully not my last.
Hope it helped your drawing.
Dark Lord
P.S. I personally think that the Nameless Bard RULES  |

Welcome to the great halls of Candle Keep. Sadly, I know nothing of this Bard you seek. If I find anything about him (or her) later on, I'll be sure to post it and let you know. |

"In the days that followed, the senior Harpers
again set about rebuilding their organization.
The Nameless Bard (Finder Wyvernspur) reappeared
in the Realms, freed from his otherplanar
exile. Elminster, desperate to add some
muscle and experience to the Harper cause,
used his influence on Storm, Cylyria, and other
senior Harpers to have Finderís sentence
reviewed. Ultimately, the Harpers found themselves
battling the awakened god Moander. The
god was vanquished in the Realms, but his
defeat cost the lives of several Harpersóincluding,
it seemed, that of Finder Wyvernspur,
whose name and music the Harpers restored."

Welcome to the forums, Lost Elph. I hope you find the knowledge you seek here. Unfortunately I do not know anything about this Finder Bard. Perhaps another scribe will be glad to assist you. |

Welcome Lost Elph,
I hope you find everything you are looking for... Let this give you a start.
Finder Wyvernspur a former Harper now known as the Nameless Bard.
"Finder Wyvernspur, always arrogant, seemed to have
turned to evil in his advancing age. Searching
for a way to immortalize his songs, he dabbled
in magic that brought about the deaths, of two
of his apprentices. Appalled, local Harpers
called a tribunal of three senior Harpers:
Morala, priestess of Milil, Dundable Mistrin, a
druid dedicated to Silvanus, and Muoreth
Talanstar, a half-elven ranger who worshiped
Mielikki. By their verdict, these judges made it
clear to all that the Harpers would police their
own. The Code of the Harpers was not empty
words, but a creed that made Harpers different
from brigands and thieves, that all who had
dealings with them could rely on. Finder's
music and name were to be forgotten. Powerful
spells stripped the memory of the man's own
name from him, and the Nameless Bard was
exiled to a solitary existence on another plane a
sentence that would last almost 300 years."

Finder Bard? I would help if I but knew of what you speak. Perhaps you can enlighten me more upon this topic.

Hello there Lost Elph,
I hope you stay here is long a prosperous. I'm not quite sure what you mean by a Finder Bard I'm afraid though.
