Melora, the Wild Mother
The domain of Melora reaches wherever the seas flow and the land turns untamed. As the guardian of the wilderness, Melora embodies the wild creatures of nature, the turbulent rush of rapids, and the oppressive stillness of the desert. Many elves, druids and hunters worship her, seeking her guidance to live in harmony with the fierce lands. Those needing safe passage across perilous waters pray for her guidance.
Devotees of the Raven Queen also honor the Wild Mother as the caretaker of what remains after the Matron of Death has done her work. People of many cultures offer tributes to Melora, viewing her as a unified representation of their ancient nature deities in a single feminine form. Druids who follow Melora the Wild Mother and clerics of her consort, Erathis the Law Bearer, collaborate to maintain the balance between nature and civilization.
Avoiding a fixed realm, Melora chooses to roam the planes to oversee the natural world. She is frequently found in the otherworldly beauty of Arvandor's endless deep woods, hunting unnatural creatures and entities that threaten the wilderness.
