Rylum

Rylum was the first of the deities to take an interest in Orthos and she was the first to nurture life from nothing. It was Rylum that created all the plants and animals that we know today and it was from her hand where the Green Elf first came into being.

Nature, balance, life, and death.

Rylum is popular among Druids, Shamans, Witches, and Rangers.

The followers of Rylum understand and work with the chaotic flow of nature.

They believe everything in nature has a place and a purpose. No one thing in nature is greater than another.

There is a constant flow of harmony and balance. When that balance is interrupted they find the source and take corrective actions to restore the balance.

They believe Necromancy and the undead are abominations that have no place in nature and must be destroyed at all costs.

Rylum learned how to manipulate the dormant energy deep within Orthos to grant magic to her druid and shaman faithful.

This is a primal energy found deep within the core of Orthos and hidden between strands of arcane and divine energy.

This source of power was created when a portion of Orthos’ divinity was compressed and altered when he transformed himself.

Through trial and error Rylum was able to split the energy into two distinct forms.

Giving the raw and unrefined energy to her shamans and the more natural and flowing form to her druids.

This makes druids and shamans quite unique and frees them from any connection with Selorna and her monopoly over arcane magic.

It is because of these unique powers that you will not find any clerics or mages among Rylum’s followers.

Rylum was the first to create life on Orthos

Rylum has an unusual relationship with Banach.

They were once lovers but she rejected him after his jealousy began to show over her creations on Orthos and corrupted his mind.

She now pities him but that only fuels his rage.

Her followers are protectors of the land and sea and although they are every bit as passionate about resisting the encroachment of civilization they are not as violently fanatical as the followers of Beln.

The followers of Rylum will use more tact and diplomacy as a first attempt when they feel threatened by civilization. If that fails to achieve a satisfactory resolution then all bets are off.
