Moeri - Goddess of The Wilderness
One of The Four
Gameplay:
Followers of The Old Gods have the most diverse set of beliefs and gods on the Sword Coast. As such all religious classes (clerics, paladins, and druids) are open to them. Listed below, in order of importance, are the most important deities in the pantheon, but there are too many to list. You may choose one of them as your character’s deity, or you may design your character’s deity and religion. If you wish to play as a follower of The Old Gods, work with your DM to design your character’s beliefs and the nature of the religion and the god(s) she serves.
A Note to Players:
There is a lot of room for players develop their characters' religious beliefs and to expand on the brief summaries of each deity presented below. Players are invited to help expand or amend what is written below.
Beliefs
Moeri is one of The Four; four sibling deities of nature, Moeri of the wilderness, Umin of the sea, Sorac of the sky, and Yaman of the mountains. It is written that Moeri nourishes the The World Tree from which all forests grow and from which elves receive their spirit.Places of worship
Temples to Moeri are abundant in any place that has a connection to the natural world. This included foresting villages of all races, wood and sun elf settlements of any size, and tribal and pastoral communities. She is also often incorporated as the supreme kami of the forests in The Way of The Spirits. Temples to Moeri are built of natural materials, wood and thatch, and often incorporate a natural feature, such as being built around a great tree or into a rock grotto, much like temples of The Way.Characterization
The Four are depicted as siblings, two brothers and two sisters. Although they are siblings most people depict them as different races. While most see them as siblings, a few see them as different aspects of the same god. Moeri is depicted as a female wood elf, often with bark for skin and foliage for hair.Worshippers
Members of all the races pray to Moeri, but she is of particular importance to copper and sun elves. She is of obvious import to the forest dwelling copper elves and she is a patron goddess of the forested sun elf realm of Evermeet.Counterparts
