Mediola, the Sylvan Blade

In a primeval forest in eastern Yeskal, Mediola patrols his domain. A fierce centaur-like fey warrior, Mediola is a god of harmony and coexistence. His word carries heavy weight in his forest and those under his domain often seek his wisdom and guidance during hard times. Acting as both mediator and guardian, any who would seek to harm his woods quickly faces the might of his ironwood greataxe said to be craved from one of the first ancient treants. Mediola is also a powerful user of druidic magic in his own right and wields it to keep his domain lush and verdant. With his fierce battle prowess and constant care for his domain, the Sylvan Blade's forest is a rare bastion of pure primeval beauty in the increasingly industrialized Yeskal, and Mediola would sooner perish than see that changed.

A fey creature himself, Mediola welcomes all manner of fey into his domain so long as they operate in harmony with the forests native inhabitants. A small number of mortals also make their home there, and those who find themselves in service to Mediola find themselves with the ability to magically communicate with the beasts that inhabit the woods around them. Life in the primeval forest is not an easy one, and those with strong enough wills to bear it will rarely find the enlightenment they seek.

The Sylvan Blade typically keeps to himself, appearing only in times of need. Those few clerics and druids that gain power from him find a contemplative soul at the heart of the woods, as Mediola spends most of his time reflecting on his place in the ecosystem of the world. He is intelligent, even for a god, and is willing to share his knowledge of the world with those who prove to be as fervent defenders of nature as he.
