Belenos, God of Life, Fertility, and Youth

Divine Domains

Belenos is the god of life and fertility, and is often associated with crops and agriculture, and the cycles of nature. As the god of life and fertility, Belenos' devotees are naturally inclined towards the Life and Nature domains of magic, and it is not uncommon to see druids who serve as disciples of Belenos. In fact, many farms and villages employ these traveling druids in order to secure a prosperous harvest. Belenos also lends his support to those who follow the Trickery domain. Finally, Belenos is frequently associated with Spring, and his divine month, Belenar, is the fifth of the year.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Belenos' divine goals are one of the simplest of the gods, as he simply seeks harmony between civilization and nature, the continued prosperity and security of nature and the harvest. While these goals are simple in theory, they are much harder to maintain in practice. While Belenos' interference in mortal affairs is minimal, he is most present in the small magics which mortals employ which secure a successful harvest, the end of a sickness, or enough coin
