Oppapan, The Great forest spirit
The High elves tell the Oppapan myth as more of a vengeful forest demon that springs forth in times of great need. When humans or dwarves clear cut great swaths of forest it is said that the Green Elves, or sometimes the wood elves, call upon the great spirit to destroy the interlopers.
The Wood elves revere the great forest spirit Oppapan as the giver of souls to every grass, bush or tree. They view Oppapan as almost the energy of life itself, at least for vegetation. They often will have small shrines to Oppapan in their gardens or at the base of their tree hovels.
[DM Note: For our current story the beetle that was rescued from the DarkFae is a vestige of Oppapan. An artifact imbued with a tiny fraction of Oppapan's essence. With most gods these vestiges would take the form of a weapon, a piece of armor, or even a piece of art. Of course with Oppapan it became a living beetle, though one that can easily become dormant casing itself in stone or wood. Currently it has climbed on to Truffle's Shell and has become shell like keratin. ]
