Malkima

Mistress of the Forest (a.k.a. The Forest Queen / Our Lady of the Woods)

Malkima is a cheerful goddess who likes to smile and act confidently. She is fiercely determined, loyal to all those she counts as her friends, and therefore extremely careful about who she gives this status to. Although she knows that death is part of the circle of life, she often intervenes to heal the wounds of animals because she finds their suffering difficult to bear. 
The members of the Church of Malkima are widely dispersed and rarely come together in large groups for long periods of time. There are only a few temples dedicated to the Queen of the Forest; most tributes tend to take place in clearings or at shrines.
The members of the church act as mouthpieces of the trees, protectors of the forests and warriors of faith. They teach humans and other good folk to care for and respect the trees and life in the forest, reforest and expand existing forests, work against casters of fire spells and help good rangers of all faiths.
Once a month, every cleric or druid of Malkima must perform a ritual to summon a dryad or a tree shepherd, whom they must then serve for a day by completing minor tasks. 
Malkima serves Silvanus and opposes Malar, Talos and Talona. It is said that the unicorn Lurue is her mount when she goes into battle.

Tenets of Faith

All intelligent beings can live in harmony with the wilderness without the need to destroy one side in the name of the other. 
Accept the wilderness and do not fear it, for living in the wilderness is the right way to live. 
Maintain balance and learn the hidden ways of life, but emphasize the positive aspect of nature that welcomes others. 
Do not allow trees to be cut down unnecessarily or the forest to be burned down. 
Live in the forest and be a part of the forest, but do not get caught up in a fight against the forest. 
Protect life in the forest, defend every tree, plant a new tree when a tree dies, and restore the harmony that fire users and loggers so often disturb. Live in harmony with the forest. 
Teach others to do the same, but punish those who hunt for pleasure or are cruel to wild animals and reduce their numbers.
