Satama was a trader and later the founder of the cult of the Adama.[1][2]
History
At some point around -256 DR, the Durpari merchant, Satama had an epiphany and developed the philosophical and spiritual concept that everything in the Toril was interconnected, including the deities, making everything part of one singular, all-encompassing entity, simply known as "The One" or "Adama" in the language of the durpari.[1][3][4]
After developing his teachings, Satama began preaching his philosophy, quickly establishing a fast-growing cult in Durpar.[3]
In -252 DR, the influence of the Adama became so great in Durpar that Satama was named Maharajah of the nation, becoming the new head of state.[3]

“
All gods are but part of the Adama. Do you hate your wife because she is a woman and you are a man? Hate not then those who worship a different aspect of the Adama.[6]
