The Grove of Nature's Guardians
The Grove of Nature’s Guardians honors the gods who hold power over the natural world of Geminaea. Its followers are stewards of the wild, devoted to protecting the often fragile systems that make up its many landscapes.
Deities Venerated
Section titled “Deities Venerated”The patron of the Grove is Jannacea the Wildmother, Prime Deity of Nature, whose realm is Wild, Jannacea’s Domain. The Divines who serve under Jannacea are:
- Kodanyra the Bestial, of Animals
- Fracylla the Greatwood, of Plants
- Sheila & Lyra the Sisters of Season, of the Seasons
- Justandyr the Stormlord, of Weather
- The four elemental Titans: Klozja of Fire, Nokja of Earth, Trazja of Water and Brazja of Air
Tenets
Section titled “Tenets”The faithful see the natural world as something to be guarded rather than conquered. Taking from the land is accepted, but taking without care or return is not.
Clergy and Rites
Section titled “Clergy and Rites”Clergy of the Grove often live close to the wild places they tend. Their rites follow the turn of the seasons, the weather and the cycles of growth and decay, and they may be called on to bless hunts, plantings and journeys into the wilderness.
Holy Sites
Section titled “Holy Sites”The Grove’s holy places are seldom buildings. Old groves, springs, peaks and other wild places are kept sacred, and shrines are often simple markers of stone or wood.
