Nylea

Nylea is one of many names under which the spirit of nature and the hunt is worshipped, and under this name she has a particular focus on the circle of life (specifically, the food chain and the cycle of birth and death), as well as metamorphosis, the forest, and the seasons. Her role in the natural progress of the seasons also links her with the Moon, though the domain of the moon itself is usually reserved for a different, separate deity.
In art and iconography Nylea is represented as a beautiful, curvaceous maiden whose hands and lower legs and feet have a covering of bark instead of skin. Her hair is long and wild, tangled with vines and berries. In her pleasant aspect she is young and cheerful, full of song and dancing and feasting; in her angry aspect she is a wasted crone, full of poison and the queen of everything dark that might roam the wood at night.
Worship of Nylea is pervasive in the cultures of intelligent woodland beings including Satyrs, Centaurs, Dryads and many humans and humanoid creatures who rely on the wood for their life or livelihood. Generally this takes the form of thoughtful respect and strenuous protection of nature and the natural order of things, but some more vigorous and occasionally dangerous fanatical cults are known as well that lean into the more chaotic and deadly aspects of the hunt and the dark wood. While she does have chapels and temples scattered across the Realm, she is also readily worshipped in any natural setting. 

Acts of Worship

Nylea favors and blesses those who show their devotion to her, often in the smallest acts of selfless kindness. 

• Healing a sick or injured wild animal
• Stopping those who hunt for sport or profit
• Proving your worth in a contest of archery
• Slaying an aberration, a fiend, or an undead - especially the Catoblepas

Offensive Acts

Conversely, Nylea withdraws her favor and may curse those who willfully disrespect or destroy nature or the natural order. Some of these activities - Murder, necromancy, senseless killing - are fairly obvious, but Nylea is also offended by some less obvious acts:

• Killing an animal for any reason other than necessity
• Dedicating a building or making a sacrifice of any living thing to any god, including Nylea herself
• Protecting a city or farm from natural dangers
• Abandoning any unsprung traps in the wild

Nylea's constellation and holy symbol.

Nylea is usually portrayed as a sunny-faced girl or young woman in her brighter aspects: 

However the goddess of nature is the queen of all nature, not simply the happy, sweet and fair parts of it. In her darker aspect, Nylea can be truly terrifying to behold.
