Uhlith the Bear is nature incarnate. According to legend, the seasons change with the moods of her heart—her fear brings the fall, her despair the winter, her hope the springtime, and her joy the summer. As well as the worship of mortals, Uhlith receives the praise of every beast of the field, and every blade of grass turns toward her as toward the sun. She is served by the master spirits of each creature of Krynn. Uhlith and her consort Bardion the Knowing are said to dwell in Zhan, the grand forest beyond the world and the love between these gods fills all of Zhan with profound bliss. She and Bardion are commonly worshipped by the Neidar and other surface-dwelling dwarves.
The Bearmother's moods can vary wildly. One moment, she may be tempestuous, destructive, and harsh; but then she grows calm, nurturing, and kind. In rare moments of summer despair, the day grows cold and dark, and in brief glimpses of winter joy, the sun breaks through and snows begin to melt.
The Green Lady feels each wound on Krynn’s surface and she, more than any other god, works to restore the land in the wake of the War. She especially wishes to heal Silvanesti, and to this end, her priests work in concert with Kitlin Fishtaker's. As nature is healed, Uhlith grows stronger. She does not want to dominate Ansalon, but to let nature thrive again. The Bearmother opposes rampant industry and disputes Edleth the Shrewd's notion that industry needs more attention than nature.

Duties of the Priesthood

Uhlith's priests are druids, both orthodox and heathen, and their only goal is to protect and nurture the natural world. Priests who endanger, spoil, or squander Krynn's natural resources are stripped of their gifts and cast out of the priesthood. They may repent by undertaking large or laborious projects to restore or repair nature.
