Silvanus

Oak Father, the Forest Father, the Old Oak, Treefather, Old Father Tree

Silvanus has both druids and rangers among the ranks of the faithful, though members of either of these classes tend to be solitary or fringe members and tend not to hold any significant station in the organized clergy, preferring to work independently.
Followers of Silvanus celebrate many of the major calendar days as holidays - Midwinter, Greengrass, and Highharvestide are all observed. On any one day of the year, sects of Silvanus worshippers celebrate the Night the Forest Walks. This night is marked by changes to the natural landscape; trees move, flowing waters rapidly alter course, caverns close off or suddenly become accessible, and magic in the forest is often stronger and wilder. It is said these events occur because Silvanus grows restless with the celebration of the holiday.
Most holy rituals and observances to Silvanus occur amidst a stand of the oldest trees in the region, especially those found on hilltops. Normally scattered followers make material (not blood) sacrifices and gather here for dancing rituals that can’t be accomplished alone. In ‘civilized’ areas, the Emerald Enclave is often the best avenue for seeking out the Silvanites.
