In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Rillifane Rallathil is the elf patron deity of wood elves. James M. Ward created the deity for the Deities and Demigods Cyclopedia (1980).

In many campaign settings, the elven pantheon of gods (also known as the Seldarine) consists of the leader Corellon Larethian, as well as Aerdrie Faenya, Deep Sashelas, Erevan Ilesere, Fenmarel Mestarine, Hanali Celanil, Labelas Enoreth, Rillifane Rallathil, Sehanine Moonbow, and Solonor Thelandira. Other elven gods may be present in different campaign settings.

[edit] Description

Rillifane appears as a green-skinned elf clad in bark armor and carrying a magic bow that slays any target hit by one of its arrows.

[edit] Clergy and temples

Rillifane's clerics wear dark green vestments, tree bark armor, and a laurel wreath on their head. His sacred animals are forest birds. His holy day is the equinox and he is worshipped on tree platforms. Carved items are sacrificed to him semiannually.

Wood elves that do not worship Rillifane often worship Skerrit the Forester; as the two deities are good friends, there is no conflict between their worshippers.
