Desert Wind

Shu, brother and husband to Tefnut, father of Geb and Nut, has been charged by Ra to keep Nut and Geb apart from each other, and this Shu does admirably. As the atmosphere, he keeps the ground (Geb) from ever touching the sky (Nut), and thus the two lovers are separated.

Shu's realm, Desert Wind, is pure breeze and sky; still, it's noticeably different from the rest of the Elemental Plane of Air. The air is warmer and glitters with gold, and it's filled with the scent of cinnamon and sand. It's said a visitor to the realm can move with the simple power of his mind.

Sure, storms can rise up unexpectedly, but Desert Wind is usually a place of peace and gentle breezes. That's what the petitioners are, mostly - warm, caressing winds, though some take the form of golden shafts of light.
