SILVANUS

God of Wild Nature

DnD Beyond Forgotten Realms

Description: Silvanus (pronounced: sihl-VANN-us) was the god of nature, and one of the oldest and most prominent gods in the pantheon. Formerly considered only the god of wilderness and druids, the Forest Father was often seen as the wilder counterpart to CHAUNTEA the Earthmother.
Personality: Whilst having no superiors, Silvanus was a long-time ally of CHAUNTEA, despite their clergies' differences. He was also allied with LATHANDER. Silvanus was served directly by ELDATH and MIELIKKI, whom some called his daughters.
Following: The church of Silvanus had a pervasive influence, especially within the Material Plane. His worshipers protected places of nature from the encroachment of civilization with vigor and were implacable foes of industrious peoples. Non-worshipers often viewed the church unfavorably due to its tendency to disrupt expansion into woodland, sometimes with violence. Examples of rituals for worship were entreaties for spells at sundown or in moonlight.
