Anastaere is the patroness of all folk who dwell in the woodlands
and earn their livelihoods from this environment. She teaches
respect of the forests to her people and is known to have a few
druids among her following but these are known to be the most
radical of her peoples. She is looked to by rangers, foresters,
trappers, hunters, woodcutters, and other who live in or around
forest environments. Those who abuse the forest are known to
suffer retribution from Anaestaere and she has worked in conjunction

Borimond
Symbol: Wooden billet, starburst, crumpled hat
Align: LG(N)
"of the Cudgel." Borimond's numerous clergy stress
traditional values, faith, honesty, purity of heart, hard work,
and loyalty to Borimond. Many small villages have only a shrine
to Borimond as others have been driven out by the tireless priesthood
of this god and his strong message. The community values stressed
are probably one reason why his priests make so many converts.
A great rivalry exists between the priests of Borimond and Cerdic due to their conflicting
doctrines.

"The Far Wanderer." While Celestian's brother, Aetheldan
chose the distances of the world, Celestian was drawn to the
endless reaches of the stars. He is looked to by astrologers,
sages, many mages, and those who travel the great distances of
the astral planes for guidance. Many ancient temples (observatories)
of this god can be found around Telurr falling into disrepair.
It is evident that at one time his influence was much greater
than it is today. Many wonder when he will return to set his
affairs aright, but he has not been seen for a great while and
although his priests offer reassurances, no one knows when or
if he will.

completeness, and devotion. The followers of Cerdic are often
fanatical and very competent. His silver-white temples often
serve as a warning to would-be attackers to find easier prey
elsewhere. This sect is often at odds with others and is engaged
in a bitter feud with the followers of Borimond.
These two sects seek to thwart each others goals whenever possible.
