Silvanus
(a.k.a. The Forest Father, Old Oak)
Silvanus is an old god, and the only one who can harness all of nature’s power. Silvanus favors wild lands and those who live in the wild without disturbing it. He is a sometimes ally of Erastil, though Silvanus dislikes even the agrarian places favored by Old Deadeye.
Silvanus is worshipped by many druids and outlanders. His wrath is feared by loggers, and many ask his forgiveness before cutting down an old oak. It is rare to hear a response, but Silvanus surely hears and sees those events.
Silvanus detested the so-called "progress" of the Age of Giants. He watched from atop the highest mountain, aghast as the giants cut his forests, dammed his daughter's rivers. Silvanus was full of anger, and was determined to give his wrath to the world so it might fight against destruction. He retreated into the world, becoming part of it and diffusing his spark through all nature's living things. This near-divine essence of the natural world forms the basis of primal magic.
