The Still Lady

The Still Lady is the goddess of peace and tranquility. She is the patroness of druid groves and is said to exist wherever there is calm. As the deity of pacifism and peace she does not allow herself to take hostile actions against others, preferring to capitulate and retreat until her opponents work themselves unto untenable positions. This would make her the diametric opposite of The Foehammer but he generally ignores her.   However, Eldath is so shy and passive that she is almost a forgotten power that may fade out of existence altogether. It is said that some of the gods with more followers recognize the importance of The Still Lady, and lend their divine power to ensure that Peace is represented in the divine pantheon.   Priests of the Still Lady are few and far between. Considering the land is teeming with monsters, evil wizards, warring nations and evil deities, her ethos of pacifism is an unpopular cult. Her followers tend to settle in quiet, out of he way places and seek enlightenment, though a basic requirement of the faith is learning how to swim, since her portfolio covers pools and waterfalls.   Eldath expects her followers to be as non-violent as possible, they are allowed to conduct themselves as they see fit, her dogma allows defense, but not punishment so her followers can kill, but only in direst need. She even has a group of adventurer-priests called Freewalkers who act as mediators and go-betweens for other faiths. It is considered a mark of skill amongst her clergy to be able to defeat an opponent using purely defensive means.
