Silvanus
Guardian Father, Father Oak, Tree Father
Silvanus (sil-vane-us), along with Eldath is the one of the original creators of Naneth . Silvanus was one of the mysterious Eres , a race of beings powerful enough to create worlds and life. Together with Eldath, they created the landmass of Naneth and populated it with creatures and other natural wonders.
Eventually, Silvanus and Eldath began allowing other Eres to create life upon Naneth as well, under their watchful eyes. The two Eres believed Naneth should remain pure, free from evil and strife. During this period, Silvanus focused on strengthening the forests of the world, and ensuring they would be watched over and cared for by the Eldar.
After The Betrayal and the subsequent corruption of the Eldar, Silvanus led the conflict against Bane , Bhaal and Myrkul. Silvanus ensured the support of other Eres, such as Torm, Virdi, Bekur, and many others. Eventually, they emerged victorious, and banished the evil Eres to the Underblaze . But this conflict had changed Silvanus. He was no longer the loving creator of natural wonders. The Betrayal hardened his heart, and gave way to a Silvanus that was more concerned with the constant protection of what he had built. Silvanus and Eldath now reside in the Feywild, keeping tabs upon Naneth through their worshipers and hidden pools of ancient magic.
Worshipers
Silvanus, like his sister Eldath, is greatly revered among elves all across Naneth. Most notably, the elves of the old Ironwood Kingdom; now the elves of Astora, hold him in the highest esteem. Elven homes can often be found decorated with plants and flowers, using nature's beauty to honor their gods. Apart from elves, creatures like Halfings, Dryads, or Fairies also follow the teaches of Eldath and Silvanus, exhibiting great love of nature. The Remnants revere Silvanus above all other gods. To them, they are following his teachings by punishing those that wronged the Ironwood Kingdom and the Forest. They have killed many in the name of Arad-Ang and Silvanus. The Guardians generally follow the teachings of Eldath, keeping their actions peaceful as they strive to protect the natural world. Though sometimes they must resort to more violent methods to ensure the conservation of Naneth's creatures and natural world, which delves into Silvanus' domain.Artifacts
