Eldath Rao
(a.k.a. The Mediator, and the Calm God)
Eldath is the God of Peace, Reason, and Serenity. He is often depicted as an old man with bushy white hair, dark skin, slender hands, and a peaceful smile, although it's said that he grows a day younger whenever anybody makes an offering of peace. With a mere glance, he can cause any being to fall into agreeable calmness. He is rarely seen without his Serene Staff, an undersized shepherd's crook that he wields as a light mace. He teaches that the greatest gift is reason, which leads to discourse, which leads to peace, which leads to serenity. For those who refuse to see reason and resort to violence first, action—governed by reason and wisdom—is required to restore the peace. Sometimes this action is violent, regrettably.
Eldath's priesthood urges their followers to reject strong emotion for the calm and serenity of inner peace. Only when the foundations of law and good are threatened should they take to the battlements. When Raoans are stirred to battle, however, their foes find them a difficult challenge: calm, implacable, and utterly convinced through the power of reason of the righteousness of their cause. Though slow to act, Eldath Rao's followers act surely, carefully, and with great force.
The clergyyy are called the gentle and are often found wearing light green and blue colors. They help people forget memories of violent past
Temples are natural, often open air temples, small woodside cottages, or behind waterfalls.
Clerics travel seeking peace and stillness and avoid taking life not out of defense. It is considered very bad luck to kill a cleric of Eldathh Rao. They are oiften very reserved and unconcerned with worldy goods. They believe that the forest provides any and all of their needs.
