Ierthys

Goddess of the Deep Woods Read and learn the histories of Zarel’ka, for the past of Mortals in the Fourth Age is steeped in the stories of Ierthys, Goddess of the Deep Woods. Many a great hunter has travelled into the Shivering Forests, only returning to their homes years later in wild garbs, raving of the woman with the bottom half of an animal.

There are few greater examples than Delaricost, a ruler of Ravondir in the Second Age. In an attempt to expand his burgeoning nation, he launched an expedition far to the east, and it is said only one of twenty would ever return. These are the workings of Ierthys, protector of nature and whose realm encompasses the forests not civilized.

See the great beasts of the forests, the fifty-foot serpents that coil around the moss-covered, the black boars among the hemlock groves. Know that, even should the adept manage to defeat these animals, one might not survive the battles that come next. Know that the beast hordes lie in wait, their own hierarchies dictated, that the lords of animals seek nothing less than the very destruction of civilization. Know that they are commanded in sum by the Goddess, and be wary, for she has been known to bless the followers of the wilds with great powers of nature.
