enmarel Mestarine (fehn-muh-rehl mess-tuh-reen) is eternally sullen
and serious, a perfect counterbalance to fun-loving Erevan Ilesere. He
has no interest in communicating with members of other pantheons or
nonelves unless absolutely necessary, and when he does speak he is
usually bitter and cynical. Although he tries to avoid commitments of
any sort, the Lone Wolf always abides by his word, no matter how
reluctantly it is given. Fenmarel watches over the elven borders in
disappearing woodlands, jungles, and similar environments, not unlike
Corellon in more sizable homelands. Of all the elven races, Fenmarel
takes a keen interest mainly in the wild elves, hidden deep within the
thickest forests of Faerun.
The church of Fenmarel consists primarily of
outcasts and small tribes of wild elves, and, as such, has little in the
way of formal hierarchy. Outcasts from elven society who make their way
among other cultures are typically lay followers and not clerics.
Members of Fenmarel's clergy instruct their fellows in the skills first
taught by the deity, including how to spy, survive on their own, engage
in deceptions and guerrilla tactics, and use poisons to take down
enemies with subtlety, but otherwise they have few formal
responsibilities aside from ensuring their personal survival. Clerics
and druids of Fenmarel pray for their spells at dusk, when darkness
begins to settle over the land.
The church of Fenmarel does not
celebrate widely recognized holy days. Instead, each individual or band
venerates the Lone Wolf in personal worship services of their own
devising. Many outcasts mark the day of their personal banishment with
private contemplation, while tribes of feral elves mark anniversaries of
important events in the group's oral history, many of which are
correlated with astronomical events easily noted by the naked eye. Many
members of his clergy multiclass as rangers or rogues. They turn rather
than rebuke undead.
History/Relationships: The Lone Wolf is somewhat of an outcast among
the Seldarine, his nominal allies, although supports them in their
endless war against the evil drow deities. He gets along well only with
Solonor Thelandira- (said to be his brother), Shevarash, Gwaeron
Windstrom, and Eilistraee. Only the kind-heartedness of Sehanine Moonbow
can draw the Lone Wolf back to the other Seldarine on rare occasions.
Dogma: The world is a harsh and unforgiving place, with
uncompromising demands on those who would forge their own path. Rely not
on others for protection, for betrayal comes easily, but on the skills
of camouflage, deception, and secrecy. Follow the way of the Lone Wolf,
for his is the path of self-sufficiency. |
