Segojan
Segojan represents the entirety of nature, deserts as well as forests, sharks as much as deer. But folk of Amoria, Northern Pelosia, and Northern Gondonia, who contend with the dangers of forests, mountains, and plains, see Segojan more as a god of those places. Segojan is thought of as a grim and severe father figure who metes out flood and drought, fire and ice, and life and death in the wilderness. In legends he often commands other nature deities, dealing out rewards and punishments to them as is fitting. Nature and its impartial fairness is central to the dogma of Segojan's faith. His priests seek to know the total situation, to view the macrocosm; their viewpoint isn't confined to one person's or one nation's idea of what is best. The loss of a farming community to goblin raids is a tragedy for some, but the event provides an opportunity for the wilderness to grow up and make the land fertile again, which in turn provides new challenges for those who would return to tame it. The creed of Segojan dictates that nature's glory must be preserved not merely because nature is beautiful, but because wild nature is the true state of the world. Its expanses refresh and revitalize the mortal soul, and give breath to all the world. Many of his faithful oppose the expansion of settlements into wild places, and consider excessive consumption of natural resources to be not only wasteful but blasphemous. Segojan often receives veneration from travelers in wild lands, explorers, and residents of rural communities far from the protection of a local lord or a great city. The Oak Tree is Segojan's symbol, and a grove of oak trees within a village or on its outskirts is often dedicated as a shrine to him. In rural places where oak trees don't grow, an oak leaf etched into the bark of another kind of tree signifies a sacred site. Segojan is the Husband of Mystra, and the Father of Sune, Solonar, Milira, and Mevnir. Segojan has the powers of a 20th level Druid, a 20th level Cleric, a 15th level Ranger, and a 10th level Bard.Divine Domains
