[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] Relationships
Rillifane is on good terms with other members of the Seldarine, and considers the centaur deity Skerrit the Forester a close friend.
[edit] Worshippers
Wood elves consider Rillifane their patron deity. 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.
[edit] Clergy
Rillifane's clerics wear dark green vestments, tree bark armor, and a laurel wreath on their head.
[edit] Temples, rituals, and holy days
Rillifane's holy days are the equinoxes. He is worshipped on tree platforms. Carved items are sacrificed to him semiannually. His sacred animals are forest birds.
[edit] Creative origins
James M. Ward created Rillifane Rallathil for the Deities and Demigods Cyclopedia (1980).
