Melora
The Mistress of the Wilds
Melora, The Mistress of the Wilds, sometimes appears as a green-skinned wood nymph, an elf with golden tresses, or a leaf and foliage-covered wolf. Her garb varies, ranging from the serviceable clothing of a forester or ranger to the delicate gown of an elven princess, but it is always a pale green. Melora watches over all good people who live in the forest, love the woodlands, or make their livelihood there. Her desires and influence are pushed through her and Sehanie's twins, Yunus and Tagga.

Tenets of Faith
Melora watches over all good people who live in the forest, love the woodlands, or make their livelihood there. She likewise protects forests and woodlands from destruction or overuse. At times she and Erathis have been at odds with one another in their differing pursuits.
The Mistress exhorts her followers to live in harmony with their woodland homes, taking only what they need. The bounty of the forest, Melora teaches, is a gift to be cherished and appreciated, not a treasure to be coveted or looted.
Melora's clerics usually choose serviceable attire of forest green. They live in forests and keep on friendly terms with the local rangers, druids, elves, and fey. They keep guard against encroachments by evil folk, loggers, and others who would exploit and ruin any woodland. When confronting anyone who would despoil a forest, they tend to be gentle but firm, at least at first. If the invaders persist, Melora's clerics can be ruthless in driving them out. Many of her clerics take it upon themselves to teach woodcraft, plant trees, or both.
Woodland temples to the Mistress are often open-air affairs with only trees for a roof. Small shrines to her are occasionally found in forest villages.
