Morian (5e Deity)
Alignment. Chaotic Good
Domains. Life, Nature
Divine Rank. Greater Deity
Morian both looks and acts like a statue. His appearance is of an ancient stone golem that is starting to crack due to age. His body is overrun by plants of every kind, in particular ivy, mistletoe, moss, and leaves from every kind of tree in existence. Morian's eye sockets are virtually empty, the only thing in either is a white trillium flower that makes its home in his right eye.
Morian makes his home in the Beastlands, in a section known as Morian's Wilds. The forest here is the densest forest in the entire multiverse, and it is home to every species of forest creature that lives within the multiverse, including many powerful fæ. Morian sits in the centre of this forest, never moving unless he is desperately needed or if he is speaking to visitors.
Morian's personality is just as statue-like as his appearance, and he shows no emotion save his undying love for the natural world. His movements are slow and steady, and he speaks just as quickly. The ambiance of his voice calls to mind the sound of rustling leaves, and it has the power to calm even the most fiery of personalities. In the extremely rare cases where Morian walks, his steps leave behind footprints where plants spontaneously start to grow. This phenomenon occurs even in the most extreme climates.
Morian has few clerics and even fewer temples devoted to him. Most of his worshippers choose to become either Clerics or Rangers, so as to betteralign themselves with the raw forces of nature. The handful of Clerics he does have typically spend their time in the wilderness, or in very small settlements. Morian and his followers see urbanization as a threat to the natural world, and so they avoid large settlements at all costs.
When a follower of Morian is killed, their spirit moves to the Beastlands. In the Beastlands, the spirit is resurrected as a woodland creature that roams Morian's Wilds for the rest of enternity. Morian's followers are well aware of this fate, and they welcome it with open arms. They see it as an opportunity to be closer not only to Morian, but the natural world in general.
