The Oak Father

Old Father Oak, Guardian of Groves, Keeper of the Oaken Door

The Oak Father was one of the Old Gods, worshiped in the times before the formation of the Conclave. Since the Satrapies converted to Ioism followers of The Oak Father are considered to be heretical.
The Oak Father was most commonly worshiped in Blood Forest, and was considered to be the protector of nature and particularly of plants and wild places.

Followers frequently showed their devotion through spending time in nature and passing on knowledge and understanding of the natural world, and by seeking to find and keep balance within their own lives.
