Silvanus, God of Wild Nature
Domain: Nature
Alignment: Neutral
Silvanus is the wild and uncontrolled counterpart to the goddess Chauntea. He is also known as Oakfather or Treefather and embodies both the beauty and the raw wildness of nature. He is not particularly concerned with a balance between civilization and nature, which is why he reacts more than displeased when harm comes to nature.
His greater concern is to maintain balance in nature itself and to balance growth and decay. Thus, druids and clerics are primarily among his followers, who eagerly follow his dogma. Some barbarians, hermits, and rangers also revere him through their closeness to nature.
Their task is to protect and enforce the protection and cycle of nature in his name. This also includes combating diseases, planting new flora, and pursuing those who harm his dogma.
If you move within his domain, you should pay attention to nature and neither harm it nor interfere too much. Otherwise, you might draw his wrath upon you. His symbol is an oak leaf, which is often adopted by several druid circles.
Although you cannot meet Silvanus himself in Baldur’s Gate 3, you will encounter a druid circle that worships him. In one quest, everything even revolves around his idol, which you can find in their grove.
These were our 6 deities that you should definitely not upset in Faerûn. Have you ever drawn the wrath of a god in Dungeons & Dragons? Or had an exciting experience with a deity? Feel free to share it with us in the comments.
Especially at higher levels, many gods make excellent patrons. But as villains for the end-level regions towards level 20, some companions can also be quite suitable. However, if you don’t want to reach such heights, we also have some classic villains from the multiverse of DnD for you: Dungeons & Dragons: 10 powerful villains you should know
