Elesia the Landkeeper
Elesia was created with a combination of Zaria’s caring guidance and Alaeum’s proficiency with the living. She was known for protecting her allies from harm using her magic to seemingly bend the natural world to her will. Her title was etched into legends as the Landkeeper, giving her command over the domain of the land, the harvests, and other various elements of nature. She is very giving and seems to respond to generous offerings in exchange for bountiful harvests, as her followers also have a certain connection to nature. Her great organic forms of magic are channeled through her Stem of Reverence, a tall, gnarled quarterstaff covered in assorted vines, leaves, and flowers all pulsing with arcane energy. Her symbol is an open lotus blossom surrounded by vines symbolizing her beliefs that nature is something to be shared, respected, and preserved by all.
Depictions
Images of the Landkeeper are renowned for their immense beauty and majesty, typically showing her as a being that is one with the elements of nature itself. She takes the form of a gorgeous women with smooth skin that is dark like umber and hair that is outstretched and vibrantly green like the branches of a tree. Her fine dress is also mainly green, though this aspect of her is also known to shimmer with the color of the rainbow. The Landkeeper is also always depicted within her own domain, heavily adorned with vines, blossoms, and other representations of nature’s beauty. Her icons are worshipped in hopes for bountiful harvests and as such are often found in places where the gifts of nature are needed.The Sylvan Dawn
The Landkeeper’s holy day of celebration is known as the Floral Crest, which is celebrated on the twenty-first day of the Green Expanse Moon. It is a day when the Landkeeper is remembered for leading an assault with the Shadewalker, the Keeper of Knowledge, and the Elder Drake against the Primordials, the remainders of elemental chaos following the defeat of the Infinite Discord. This day is known for being one with some of the most brilliant sunlight in the year as well as being the first day of the spring growing season. As such, all those who celebrate the Dawn do so by tilling their land in preparation for the next harvest and prohibiting all forms of hunting. Though this holiday is mainly celebrated by agrarian societies and farmers, those who do observe it have the utmost respect for the Landkeeper and her gifts. Additionally, the people that till in the name of the Landkeeper always make sure to leave one plot of land alone as a reminder of conservation in respect of her generosity.Commandments of the Landkeeper
- Protect the natural balance and harmony of all forms of nature in the world.
- Be sure to reap what you sow. Nature can be very giving, but ensure you give back to the land and prevent its exploitation and abuse.
- Bring down those who would corrupt nature and all of its noble creatures. Those who mistreat the gifts of nature do not deserve such kindnesses.
