Ehlonna

Ehlonna of the Forests, Goddess of the Woodlands

Ehlonna is the goddess of Forests, Woodlands, Flora, Fauna, and Fertility. Ehlonna is known to the elves as "Ehlenestra."
Ehlonna is variously depicted as an elven or human woman, and often associates with unicorns and other sylvan creatures. When in human form, Ehlonna appears as a dark-haired human woman, but as Ehlenestra, she appears as a golden-haired elven maiden. Her eyes are deep blue or startling violet. Her garments may be the practical garb of a ranger or the rich gown of an elven princess. She carries a longbow that always hits its target.
Her human aspect has special powers over horses, while as Ehlenestra she has similar command over unicorns.
Temples to Ehlonna are usually camouflaged lodges in sylvan settings, although small shrines often exist in villages.
