Emmantiensien (Emm-ann-tee-enz-ee-an) is the god of Treants, Trees, and Deep and Hidden Magic. His name is a contraction of a far, far longer Treant word meaning "one who is slow to rouse but is great in might when stirred to action." His symbol is a pair of acorns.
Description
Emmantiensien is a vast treant with well-sheened bark, his roots curled around a magic crystal fashioned by some unnamed and unknown deity. With this crystal, Emmantiensien can call forth power which no other sylvan deity can employ, not even Queen Titania herself.
Emmantiensien and his many avatars hear much wisdom in the winds that blow through the trees; he also speaks to birds and fey, hears the songs of bards, and through his roots he hears the murmurings of those beings who dwell at the center of the world. He never forgets anything he has learned, though an Age of history may pass before he is able to draw forth his oldest knowledge from his memory. He speaks seldom, but when he does, everyone in the Seelie Court listens.
Relationships
Emmantiensien is the sage of the Seelie Court. Emmantiensien is closely allied with Rillifane Rallathil, the elven god of nature. The two tree-gods engage in slow, seemingly endless conversations when the Seelie Court comes to Arvandor or Rillifane visits the Court (where he is always welcome). Emmantiensien is also allied with Corellon Larethian.
Realm
Emmantiensien dwells in the realm of the Seelie Court, which appears and disappears unpredictably on various planes.
Dogma
Emmantiensien protects the Deep Sylvan lands where fey creatures and spirits of nature dwell. These realms are the oldest untouched places in the world and are sites of powerful magic.
Worshipers
Emmantiensien is revered by treants.
Myths and legends
Emmantiensien has no origin in time; he has always existed.
