Changes

In the ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' [[role-playing game]], '''Akadi''' ({{IPAc-en|ə|ˈ|k|ɑː|d|i}}{{respell|ə|KAHD|dee}})<ref name="FRCS1E"/><ref name="FAP"/>{{rp|90}} is the goddess of Movement, Speed, and Air Elementals. Her [[alignment]] is primarily [[Neutral]], and the symbol of Akadi is usually represented by a pale cloud on a blue background.

[[Ed Greenwood]] initially used [[Wikipedia:Deities in the Elric series#Elementals|Misha]], one of Moorcock's Elemental gods as found in the original ''[[Deities & Demigods]]'', as the elemental lord of air for his home ''Dungeons & Dragons'' campaign set in the [[Forgotten Realms]]. As Greenwood indicated in his article "Down-to-earth Divinity" in ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' #54 (October 1981), Moorcock's elemental gods "may later be replaced in [his] universe by "official" ''AD&D'' beings as these are published".<ref name="Dragon 54">[[Ed Greenwood|Greenwood, Ed]].
