///Sorry, but his blessings are just so unlikely....Malar does not fall under Silvanius till 4E. Malar worshipers and Silvanius worshipers are like Drow and elves...oh wait Malar works with Lolth and the Drow.
Silvanus resents the destructive nature of the storm lord, Talos, and the Lady of Poison, Talona, whom encourages disease beyond what is natural and reserves his greatest hatred for the Beastlord Malar and its followers, working against his insatiable bloodlust at every opportunity. Silvanus despises life-threatening impulses in anything.
Everyone wanted to keep Rping combat with the Archdruid...as a group we would of stooped him. In fact no ones even worried about war because they still think hes a false Archdruid.

Some time later, sitting down and playing dice with some friends, a pink-haired young woman is chortling over the day's events.

"Yeah, can you believe it? The sodding Archdruid was a complete nutter! Not only did he forget some of the core principles of his own faith, but he actually thought he could judge a person! Hah!"

She rolls her dice, then takes a sip of water from her mug.

"Not only that, but he actually thought he had even the slightest bit of authority to banish a person from the Gate! I mean, I could just as likely banish a person from the Friendly, or Thay, as he could banish a man from the Gate.

The problem is, lads, that the Archdruid thought he had any power over what transpired in the Cloakwood. I mean, maybe if someone committed crimes against nature, the Fist MIGHT let them handle it, if they didn't just laugh in his face. In truth, the Archdruid has as much authority over passerby as my left sock does. And his suggestion that anything he was doing would be binding on Renec is just laughable.

Still, it is a shame when people go crazy with power, even when they don't actually have that power. Maybe when his wounds have healed up, though, he will have learned his lesson. I mean, Thedran dang near took his face off with that shovel. But, he should heal... with time.

Still, perhaps before making something like this happen again, that archdruid will do his research, and figure out that his ilk HATES Malar's ilk, and would never have done this whole farce of a trial. He seemingly put no planning into it, and planning things beforehand so they make sense is important."

With that, she makes one last roll of the dice, then leave, her lost coin at the table.

Silvanus resents the destructive nature of the storm lord, Talos, and the Lady of Poison, Talona, whom encourages disease beyond what is natural and reserves his greatest hatred for the Beastlord Malar and its followers, working against his insatiable bloodlust at every opportunity. Silvanus despises life-threatening impulses in anything.
//Resents is not an all out impulse to destroy. Silvanus is a Greater Deity. Malar is a demigod. Silvanus does not DO rash actions. With Great Wisdom the Druids considered the "truce" offered by the servants of Malar. And in their wisdom the truth was revealed. Silvanus is NOT a war deity. He is a nature deity. Natural order IS in everything he does. He would not destroy if he could bring harmony. I am not here to debate you. I am here to add to the RP. Thedrac was also "absolved" of any unruliness by defeating the Malarite. Great magic was involved. You would have found yourself lost in the wilderness and having to find your way back to Nashkel at his command. Dont forget he was willing to end the trial and let the "Feud" continue. Vaille was the one who wanted to continue.

Also, the Archdruid was praised for his behavior not admonished by the other Druids of Silvanus . He was reluctant to be the one to mediate, but it was his duty. And the drow have already helped Mlar and Bane. But that was a different event.

///The book Faith's and Pantheons uses the words "Bitterly Opposed"
Anyway, thats not what am argueing, what i am argueing is that the group watching the event would not have left the Archdruid leave without questoin, in fact its already being role played that hes dead. Thats simply how the players wanted to role-play this and no amount of god-modeing is going to change the fact they will react the way they want too. Rhys want to take poltical action, as the Dukes and many other communitys see forming truces with Malar as out right treason, Thedran just wanted to kill everyone there, the local druids wanted there questions answered, and i spotted a couple evil guys in the back that just wanted to spill some blood.

//Bitterly Opposed it not utterly destroy. They all deserve a shift towards evil.

IF the other dms agree with the players. That is up to them.It is over anyway. But as far as I am concerned. NO person would defile a court where justice was served. No "Good" character would disrespect a banner of truce between them. No player would defile an Druidic Oakgrove. Especially if it didnt involve them. That was a Druidic grove. An Archdruid there would be almost omnipotent. As far as the evil players go, they were there like at any trial sitting in the audience. They were not involved. They would have been dusted by the archdruid with no support from the "good" characters. My argument is that Silvanus is more powerful than Malar. It would be mmarginalized as another deception that his servants handled deftly.

If the other DMs want to continue a feud between Silvanus and the players. Like I said it is over anyway. If they agree with your RP then perhaps occasional "bloodlust" especially because the many players were epic can be handled with RP. The part with Revan Dahl is next. If you want to "correct" how I play the servants of Bane it will be more black and white.

Also, this debate is more interesting than TV. Everything went as I planned. Whatever continues regarding Silvanus is up to the other DMs. (also, did I say the Drow have already helped Malar and Bane in an earlier event?)
