Selenia
The Wildmother
The realm of Selenia extends to wherever the seas shift and the land grows wild. As the keeper of the wilderness, Selenia represents the wild creatures of nature, the rush of the angry rapids, and the heat-heavy stillness of the desert. Elves worship her, as do hunters, accepting her guidance to exist harmoniously within savage lands. Those seeking safe passage across dangerous waters pray to her to guide them.
Followers of the Pale Horse also show respect to the Wildmother as the caretaker of what remains when the Matron of Death's work is done. Druids of Selenia the Wildmother and clerics of her lover, Erathis, work together to preserve the balance of nature and civilization.
Eschewing a permanent realm, Selenia prefers to wander the planes to oversee natural life. She is often found among the unearthly beauty of Arvandor's infinite expanse of deep woods, hunting unnatural things that corrupt the wilds.
