The Green Triad
Image
Many followers of Silvanus, Mielikki, and Eldath offer prayers to the others, and their respective churches have long maintained strong ties, often working closely and lovingly together in their common pursuit to protect nature. These ties have historically been informal, focusing on shared long-term goals in a region. However, there are small followings that formally venerate the entire ‘Green Triad’ and seek to increase the existing partnership and cooperation between the faiths.

As Deepwinter set in on the Sword Coast, a dark green cloaked figure visited each shrine of the Green Triad, offering prayers to their respective patrons to mark the new year.
Image
“Green Goddess, may this land.. its people.. find peace and calm.”
Image
“Forest Queen, help your servants protect the Forest from the ignorance and evil that seeks to destroy it.”
Image“Oakfather, bestow upon us your gentle blessings.. allow the land to heal and may it be brought into the sacred Balance.”
As his words faded at the final shrine, he slowly drew a plain wooden spoon from his pocket. Raising it before him, he closed his fist suddenly and forcefully, snapping the spoon in several places. He knelt to make shallow hole in the ground, placed the broken pieces within, and carefully repacked the soil.

“Keep the Balance.”

Communing with Silvanus

Unread post by BarBearian »

Standing in the frosted glade, his was heart unsure of the task requested of him. As doubt slowly crept in, his hand instinctively slipped down to the oakleaf holy symbol at his hip. Unsure whether the hamadryad could be trusted given the state of her sanctuary, he set about Communing with his patron for guidance. He had never attempted it himself, having only ever been witness to the incantation, but he felt compelled to seek the Oakfather’s guidance.

As he finished his soft chanting, he raised his holy symbol to his mouth and softly whispered to it. After a few quick heartbeats, the Oakfather answered:

Doubt and worry vanished: the ritual must proceed to keep the Balance.
With ritual concluded and companions safely returned to the grove, they relayed the sad news of the dryad’s sacrifice. The Song Among the Reeds will not be forgotten, not as long as there was breath in his lungs. Her story will live on in his heart and in his prayers until the Oakfather finds her once more in his gentle embrace…
