Author, publisher, etc info needed. However, since these are Living Greyhawk documents, there may be conflicts with the overall campaign setting, & such conflits should be noted.--Robbstrd 01:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

The following was removed from the article, as it is copied word-for-word from the Living Greyhawk Geoff Metagaming Sourcebook[1] (page 16).

Most of Ehlonna's clergy are female, whether human, elven or fey. Most of Ehlonna's clergy are female, whether human, elven, or fey. They live in the forests, are friendly with rangers and druids, and watch for encroaching nonhumans, hunters, and loggers. They educate those who wish to live in harmony with the forest, just as the animals do. They are gentle in their first warning to those who would harm the forest and ruthless in stopping those who persist. They travel to spread their teachings or to protect a forest in danger.

Clerics of Ehlonna are often trained one-on-one by higher-level clerics, and the forest is the classroom. Even a low-level cleric can identify a tree by its leaf and a bird by its song. Anything that threatens the health and growth of the forest is anathema to Ehlonna's followers. They root out goblin warhands hiding in the woods, stop raging forest fires. and defeat evil blighters who twist the forest to their evil ends. A typical prayer to Ehlonna first references two positive aspects of the forest. For example, a sunset prayer might start with "Golden leaves/And tall trees/Shelter us this night." "Fiery leaves and shining sun, protect us this journey" is another example.

Almost every temple to Ehlonna is a camouflaged lodge deep in the forest. They're good places to find healing and rangers who can track evil interlopers in the forest or guide visitors safely through the woods. Ehlonna's ceremonies take place in the forest when possible. Most cover various aspects of fertility, and children figure prominently in many. Ehlonna's clerics usually choose servicable attire of forest green.
