The Fifth Aspect Eldath

Alignment: Neutral good • Domains: Life, Nature

Also known as "The Green Goddess", the Fifth Aspect Eldath acts as the guardian of nature, her presence is felt wherever there is calm. She is a pacifist who avoids hostile action, even if threatened. Although shy, quiet and enigmatic, Eldath possesses unknown depths of character and unexpressed resolve that could not be broken.

As leader of the Wild Lords, Eldath protects rivers, streams, and druids' groves; her dogma is pacifistic, and her followers only resort to violence in defense of themselves, of their friends and loved ones, and of pools and groves. As such wyverians, elves, and other peaceful monstrous races typically worship her.
Her worshipers, known as Eldathyns, are organized into a simplistic hierarchy, where priests report to a local high priest responsible for a realm or larger region. Most followers dwelt in quiet forest communities with open-air sacred places of worship or in woodside cottages.
Many people came to Eldath for help in overcoming memories of a violent past, sometimes a single event that affected them but it could also have been an accumulation of battles fought by the individual.
Her clergy often followed migratory patterns traveling from holy site to holy site in a local area. They took care of the holy sites and allied with the local druids who followed the Wild Lords, of which Eldath was the leader of. Violence of any kind against an Eldathan priest was considered taboo, and murdering one was said to bring extremely bad luck. Even so, most servants of Eldath preferred to avoid conflict rather than trying to pacify it because they understood that peace cannot be forced. They would happily preside over peaceful meetings and witness political treaties.

Commandments of The Green Goddess
  • Seek stillness and thereby find peace.
  • Tend to nature
  • Nurture and aid, and do not restrict or punish.
  • Work violence only to defend, and slay no thing of the forest except to prevent it from slaying themselves or another under their protection.
  • Share with all beings the beneficial things that grow in or come from running water that all may know of and praise Eldath.
