Jauhar is the goddess of wealth of Zakhara and preaches the importance of hard work to acquire riches. She is technically only a local goddess, but probably the most influential of those, as she is worshipped in a number of cities. In the Cities of the Pantheon she is seen as a Great Goddess and takes the place of Jisan there.[2] As such Jauhar is above such concerns as alignment, as wealth may be acquired to feed the hungry or to oppress the poor.[1] Jauhar's symbol is a gold dinar.[2]
Old images show the goddess as a beautiful dancer adorned with coins, but efforts have been made by her pantheist worshippers to destroy all such pictures as blasphemous and describe her garbed in chador, a garment covering a woman from head to foot, but with a gold dinar on her forhead.[2]
Jauhar has many worshippers among merchants and craftsmen[2] and fills a similar role in the Land of Fate as Waukeen does in Faerûn.
