King Oberon
Oberon, called the Lord of Beasts or sometimes King Oberon, is a member of the Seelie Court worshiped as a deity of the wilderness and animals. He is at other times known as Oran, and under that name is called the Green Lord.
Description
Oberon typically appears as a wingless, unusually tall, and muscular male faerie. His eyes are black and wild, his hair thatched and braided and run through with brambles, and his skin comparable in color to oak wood. He is known to wear a cloak of green leaves stitched onto brown leather.Personality
Oberon is a stern protector and warrior, if wild and mercurial at times. He relies less on illusion and camouflage than other members of the Seelie Court, and is unafraid of physical combat.Abilities
Oberon's avatar is immune to poison, disease, polymorph effects, and death magic, and is also highly resistant to magic in general. Nonmagical weapons cannot harm him. Furthermore, no natural woodland animal, faerie creature, or sentient, nonevil plant creature can be compelled to harm him. Oberon himself is attuned to fey forests he often roamed, able to both sense and affect every tree and stream. He is an unrivaled hunter and warrior, powerful enough that even Corellon The Archeart treats him with a cautious respect.Divine Realm
Like the rest of the Seelie Court, Oberon dwells in their collective divine realm. At other times, the Lord of Beasts could be found living in the wilds.Activities
The Lord of Beasts spends much of his time away from the Seelie Court roaming the Beastlands or protecting various sylvan realms from incursion or attack by rapacious monsters or humanoids. One of his favorite activities is hunting stags, but he does not kill the animals he hunts.Relationships
Oberon is the consort of Queen Titania and the father of Damh, and presumably the father of Verenestraand the Prince of Frost as well. However, his relationship with Queen Titania is legendarily tempestuous: at times they are the dearest of lovers, at other times rivals, and at yet other times both. With the rest of the Court, Oberon is allied with the gods of elves, as well as various good deities of nature and hunting. He is, like the rest of the Seelie Court, an enemy of the goblinoid pantheon and the Hag Mother, but most particularly the Queen of Air and Darkness, whom he often urges Titania to war against. He is also the leader of the faction of fey called the Green Fey, which are primarily composed of wilder, more nature-oriented fey such as satyrs, dryads, and treants, as well as some elves that dwelled in the Feywild.Other archfey of the Green Fey, such as Damh and Selephra, also answered to him.Legend
Oberon is ancient, and said to be the awakened spirit of a nature, possibly of some great forest. He is known to be part of the Inner Circle of the Seelie Court. The Green Lord was the one to craft Titania's palace of Senaliesse from living wood.Relationships
