The nature gods of Elaris mirror the boundless diversity and intricacies of the natural world itself. Each deity stands as a unique embodiment of the world’s vitality, spanning the spectrum from enigmatic guardians of the deep forests to benevolent spirits that preside over specific springs and groves. These gods are interwoven with the very fabric of the wild, nurturing the cycles of life that pulse through every blade of grass and every rustling leaf.
For the devoted druids, nature isn’t merely a realm to be appreciated; it’s a sacred tapestry to be revered and cherished in its entirety. These stewards of the land often align themselves with one of these nature deities, embracing their role as guardians of the wilderness. They practice ancient, mysterious rites that echo through the ages, reciting forgotten prayers in a language known only to those initiated into their sacred traditions.
However, the influence of these nature gods extends beyond the realm of the druids. Many of these deities also inspire clerics who assume a more active role in furthering the interests of the natural world. These champions of the gods of nature undertake a variety of vital tasks, driven by their devotion to the forces that shape the world around them. Some are fearless hunters, embarking on quests to vanquish the malevolent monstrosities that seek to despoil the sanctity of the woodlands. Others bestow their blessings upon the faithful, ensuring bountiful harvests and nurturing the lands that sustain life. Yet others wield their divine wrath against those who dare to incur the ire of their gods, causing crops to wither and the land to falter in the wake of their displeasure.
