'''Greater Goddess (Chaotic Good)''' '''Symbol:''' A rising sun with chromatic rays. '''Portfolio:''' Emotions, Art, Light. '''Domains:''' Chaos, Creation (''Deities & Demigods''), Good, Healing, Sun + See Below '''Cleric Alignments:''' Any but NE, LE, LN '''Favored Weapon:''' Scimitar Selunai is the goddess of joy, passion, rage, and hope. She inspires men and colors the world. She cared for the civilized races and delivered them from the uncaring elemental lords who ruled them before. Now she fights against Shau, god of dark, emptiness and the void, for the future of the world. ===The Two Churches=== Selunai's followers recently split into two churches: '''The Established Order''' was Selunai's original church. Founded by the elves in prehistory, the Established Order emphasizes the arts, grace, and light. Their followers, mostly elves, halflings, and some humans, are patient, cunning, and skilled. '''The Enlightened Church''' was formed when the dwarves split from the Established Order because they weren't "willing to fight and preach for Selunai". The Enlightened Church emphasizes passion, action, and sound. Their followers, mostly dwarves, gnomes, and humans, are loud, assertive, and merry. Worshippers of Selunai can be a member of either church, or neither. Since they just made peace after a few decades of holy wars, most members are bitter towards members of the other church and suspicious of anyone who doesn't belong to either. ====Herald & Allies==== Selunai usually sends an epic-level celestial humanoid as a herald. Allies include lillends, seelie fey, and eladrin. ===Saints & Lords=== Selunai is aided by divine minions who pool their power with hers. They are divided into two groups: '''saints''' are mortals who ascended to join Selunai, while '''lords''' are the elemental deities who swore allegiance to Selunai after they lost the First War. Most people just pray to them when needed, but some venerate a particular saint/lord. (Similar to the ''cult of the saints'' in Medieval times.) Players can venerate a saint/lord of Selunai, in addition to worshipping Selunai. If a PC venerates a particular saint/lord: *The PC can choose one of his domains from the saint/lord's domains. *The PC uses the saint/lord's favored weapon as his favored weapon. There are saints of Selunai to cover almost anything. Ask about a field and I will provide with a saint for it. ====Saints==== '''Sharran''', Saint of the Focused Edge; '''Domains:''' Strength, Protection; '''Favored Weapon:''' Battleaxe Once a slave to his passions and bloodthirst, he was saved from his worst frenzy by a passing cleric. He converted and spent decades strengthening his willpower until he could hold and release them as precisely as his axe. His teachings guide the barbarians and anyone else in danger of being consumed by their passions to this day. '''Kyria''', Saint of the Hidden Eye; '''Domains:''' Knowledge, Trickery; '''Favored Weapon:''' Sap The original undercover agent of the law. Brought hundreds of slavers, murderers, smugglers, and cultists of Shau to justice. No one has ever learned her cover identities. '''Stromlind''', Saint of the Final Pursuit; '''Domains:''' Law, Travel; '''Favored Weapon:''' Warhammer After the Traitor of Irogon betrayed the dwarves and open the stronghold's gates, Stromlind swore to deliver him to justice. Two hundred years and three thousand miles later, she smote his undead form into nothingness with her dying breath. '''Thrain''', Saint of the Unyielding Bulwark; '''Domains:''' Planning ''(Living City Guide to FR)'', Protection; '''Favored Weapon:''' Heavy Pick Thrain spent half of his life engineering the Abyss's Edge Gate and the other half of it protecting it. After millenia of drow invasions, it still has not fallen once. ====Elemental Lords==== These are some of the elemental lords who swore allegience to Selunai. I will detail more if a PC wants to venerate one. '''Paoka''', Lord of Volcanoes; '''Domains:''' Fire, Destruction; '''Favored Weapon:''' Flail '''Verlis''', Lord of Streams; '''Domains:''' Water, Travel; '''Favored Weapon:''' Shortspear '''Sylanu''', Lady of Forests; '''Domains:''' Animal, Plant; '''Favored Weapon:''' Longsword
