Ehlonna

Lesser goddess, NG • - Forests, Meadows, Animals, Flowers, Fertility Ehlonna of the Forests is said to be the patroness of all good folk, elven, human, or otherwise, who dwell in woodlands and love such surroundings. She is likewise the deity of those who hunt, fish, and otherwise gain their livelihood from the forests. She is thus worshipped by rangers, foresters, trappers, hunters, woodcutters, etc. More females than males serve Ehlonna. It is possible for Ehlonna to take either of two forms, a human or an elven female. In human form, Ehlonna will have either chestnut or black hair, while in elven form her tresses will be pale golden or coppery gold. Her eyes are either startling blue or violet, and her complexion is most clear and fair. Her garments range from those of a huntsman or ranger to those of an elven princess. Ehlonna carries a longbow which always hits its target. She uses arrows of slaying for many woodland creatures — bears, stags, etc. She fights with a magical longsword and a magical dagger, using both at once, often defending with the sword and striking with the dagger. In human form Ehlonna has special powers over horses, while in elven form she can command unicorns. Her high whistle can call either from as far away as a league. Either sort of creature gladly serves as a mount for her. She has the attributes and powers typical of a deity of lesser stature. Ehlonna is personally served by a planetar. Brownies, elves, gnomes, and halflings are especially attuned to this deity. If Ehlonna requests service, it is very likely that such races will aid her in any manner she asks. She often travels among these folk. Her clerics are excellent trackers, and able to befriend animals. The worship of Ehlonna is centered in the area from the Wild Coast to the Ulek fiefs, from the Kron Hills to the sea. Her clerics wear pale green robes. Temples of Ehlonna are always in sylvan settings, although small shrines are occasionally located in villages. Services of worship involve wooden and horn vessels, various herbs, and the playing of pipes and flutes.
