Verenestra (Lesser Goddess)[]
Verenestra is the patron goddess of dryads, nymphs, and sylphs. Fickle and very vain, this beautiful goddess nonetheless has the wisdom to know that the security of her female worshipers is as one with the security of all the faerie realms and creatures, and she is utterly loyal to the Seelie Court despite her otherwise inconstant nature. Verenestra has her own bower in the Seelie Court, resplendent with silver birches, larches and plane trees, and a fringe of willows; the trees are decorated with living silver filigree and jewels and within, the goddess has many mirrors in which to admire her own arts of self-beautification. She is jealous, and snobbishly avoids contact with other female goddesses of beauty, love, or romance.
Role-Playing Notes: Verenestra rarely sends avatars to the Prime Material; she may do so to abduct an exceptionally charismatic male and play with the poor creature's affections, rewarding him with some minor magical item. Otherwise, her avatar will usually only accompany those of other sylvan gods when a communal interest is of major importance.
Statistics: AL n (eg); WAL n (ng) (dryads, nymphs, sylphs); AoC female faeries, charm, beauty; SY filigree-edged silver mirror.
Verenestra's Avatar (Wizard 10, Druid 10)[]
Verenestra's avatar appears as a demure, slim female (sylph, dryad or nymph as she chooses) of unearthily perfect form and beauty. The avatar is always barefoot, and generally wears only one or two handkerchief-sized garments of gossamer which are carefully designed to not quite disguise her female charms. She uses wizard spells from the enchantment/charm, elemental (all but fire) and illusion/phantasm schools.

Special Att/Def: The avatar has all special att/def of the faerie type she takes the form of (and she can change form instantaneously). She flies only in sylph form, but swims in any other form. She is immune to all enchantment/charm and illusion/ phantasm spells, and nonmagical weapons. She can charm person at will (males save at —10), and any male inflicting damage on her suffers half the hp value of that damage himself. With a wave of her hand, in addition to any other actions, she can render up to 40 HD of creatures in a 60 degree arc pacified (unable to attack except in self-defense) for 1d4 +4 rounds. At will, she can use any of the following: emotion (calm), massmorph, pass plant. Three times per day she can use each of: liveoak, mass charm, turn wood, wall of thorns. She has a dagger +3 of finest silver, studded with moonstones.
