Silvanus,
also called Green Man (Viridis Voltus)
God of Nature and the Balance
Neutral
Symbol: A face carved of leaves
As one of the Anganach, Silvanus' faith arrived with the first human settlements. His religion has been largely, but not exclusively, replaced by the worship of St. Ygg. Silvanus, also called Green Man, oversees the balance in nature: law and chaos, light and dark, growth and decay, life and death.
For generations the rangers and druids looked to Silvanus for guidance and protection. He is also considered by some to oversee the spheres of rebirth and fertility. Faces of Silvanus have been carved into trees and rocks for centuries in the region. Tales say good fortune befalls those who chance upon his face in the wild.
Although wise and beneficent, the paternalistic Silvanus (sihl-vann-us) can be emotionally distant when it comes to the necessity of having a balance in nature and wrathful toward those who threaten wild places. He appears as an old, bearded, incredibly wise human male face floating in midair among trees or sprouting from the trunk of an especially old and large specimen.
