Tenets of Faith
- Nurture the Land: Followers are expected to care for nature, ensuring fields, forests, and wilds remain balanced. Over-farming and destruction of natural spaces are seen as offenses against Eldara.
- Honor the Cycle: Life and death are parts of the same grand cycle. Followers must respect the seasons, accept loss, and recognize that from decay comes new life.
- Guard the Wilds: While cultivation is blessed, wild places are sacred. The untouched wilds must be protected from exploitation and destruction.
- Share the Bounty: Those who have been blessed with a great harvest are encouraged to share with those in need, for nature’s gifts are meant to sustain all life.
- Mark the Solstices and Equinoxes: Seasonal changes mark moments of great spiritual significance, with festivals and offerings made to Eldara to ensure balance and prosperity.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Eldara’s ultimate goal is to maintain the balance of nature in all its forms—balancing wildness with cultivation, abundance with scarcity, and life with death. She seeks to teach mortals stewardship, not dominance, over nature. The spread of unchecked industrialization, over-exploitation, and the loss of wild places are affronts to her will. Eldara’s influence drives mortals to revere natural beauty and practice sustainable growth.
