Florauna

A Positive-Aligned God

Florauna (a.k.a. Mother of the Wilds)

She’s a crafty one, I tell you. I told them that the Blossom Festival would have a special visitor and yet they did not believe me. They knew I meant our beloved Florauna, for I told them about the flowers blossoming early before spring. How wrong they were when the Festival started. Birds, butterflies, deer, and other forest life came to honor her arrival.

In the shade of the birch trees, she arrived with a fawn in her arms. The village was quick to bow down to her; even the wildlife joined in. We bowed not because she was a lord, we did so for she is the provider of the life around us and nurturing all she touches.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

Deer Antlers

To Florauna, she is fascinated by the strange metaphor that deer antlers embody. They are weapons for a creature that brings no harm to others unless provoked. As such, she is often associated with deer, wearing a small pair atop her head.

Tenets of Faith

Hunting Dichotomy

Florauna instructs her followers that it is natural for there to be the predator and prey dichotomy. As such, it is taboo to interfere a hunt by aiding either side should they be a beast. However, too many hunters must be watched lest they overpower their prey’s numbers and ruin this crucial dichotomy.

Natural Order

The philosophy of the Natural Order is that life has a flow to it. It is only natural that life changes to compensate for its environment. Trying to contain or stagnate that flow will cause harm to the creature involved so it is only natural that it instinctually fights back. Although, an unchecked flow can lead life into poisonous circumstances. Thus, it is healthy to ensure that one’s flow is checked and tidy to avoid getting into an unfavorable circumstance. An example is raising a kid, as the parent must expect their offspring to push against any rules but a light amount of them will ensure their child’s flow is safely kept yet with room to be as they wish.

This is how Florauna explains why rebellions tend to occur, whether it be stubborn youths or within civilizations. It’s also why her followers tend to hate vast urban city centers and instead live in spread out villages in the wilds as too many laws constrain that Natural Order for many.
