HOUSE OF NATURE

Celestial Plane

Forgotten Realms

The House of Nature was a neutral plane in the WORLD TREE cosmology model. It was home to the deities CHAUNTEA, LATHANDER, SILVANUS, ELDATH, MIELIKKI, and the LIONKING.
While considered a neutral plane by sages, the House of Nature was a place of natural harmony and goodness, encompassing many of the ideals of the plane of ELYSIUM from the GREAT WHEEL cosmology. A portal to the plane of ARVANDOR was maintained by cooperation of the deities residing here.
The eight divine realms that resided here were:
THE DEEP FOREST SILVANUS' realm was located in the deepest forest of the House of Nature, where the greatest trees grew so dense as to block out all light
THE GREAT MOTHER'S GARDEN This was the realm of CHAUNTEA. While she was considered a goddess of agriculture, her realm was not, in fact, cultivated. Instead, all manner of foods grew here naturally and in abundance.
THE GROVE OF THE UNICORNS This was a relatively simple tree grove, but it was frequently visited by unicorns, including celestial chargers. MIELIKKI maintained her realm here.
THE HIGH GLADE The High Glade, home to Shiallia, was found next to MIELIKKI's domain.
THE LABYRINTH OF LIFE In the warmest region of the House of Nature was found this dense, vibrant, mazelike jungle. This was Ubtao's domain. Bursting up from the center of the jungle was a plateau, upon which all variety of dinosaurs roamed in isolation from other beasts. Little is known of this Realm as no mortal being has ventured there.
MORNINGLORY The realm of LATHANDER was a place of natural beauty infused with the colors of dawn and included a mountain lake and a meadow. Here stood a cathedral of tall timber that served as LATHANDER's home. Anyone resting in Morninglory felt fully refreshed in half the time as usual.
THE PRIDELANDS This region of the House of Nature was a vast savanna. Here, the LIONKING  ruled his wemic petitioners. The savannah was spotted with groves, one of which protected a portal to the Gulthmere Forest on the PRIME MATERIAL PLANE.
THE TRUE GROVE Here, ELDATH abode in a ring of tall oak trees with a bubbling spring in its center.
