Herr Doktor 07-26-03, 01:51 AM	I posted this before on the Forgotten Realms general board, and no real conclusion was founded by the responses I recieved, so I figured this is definetly a roleplaying related question, so I've re-posted this here as well. Perhaps you can be more helpful? ----- A player in my campaign is creating a Ranger who is devoted to Silvanus. However, this player (who usually plays as a rogue) wants his character "Marlak" to have a greed-streak. Marlak also has a fierce hatred for wolves (his chosen racial enemy). Where would these things fit in with the Balance? Would Silvanus sponsor such a person? ----- He's true neutral. Here's some background: Marlak Evenwood has lived his entire life in Battledale on a small walled cottage in the area known as the Belt. He was mauled as a young hunter while out on the hunt with his father, by a wolf. Since then he has developed a hatred toward these beasts. He even ended the lives of a group of newborn wolves once, though he considers it to be the most evil thing he has ever done... he feels it is justified though as he believes all wolves should be exterminated from the face of Faerūn. He is pretty much entirely devoted to the hunt and archery. His bow is his life. Most of his spare time is spent at practice, he doesn't really get much other pleasure from life. His father is a huntsman and his mother (deceased, she was killed by a brigand) was a homemaker. His mother was particularly harsh on him, so Marlak distrusts women in general. The only person he really speaks to is his long-time friend Sigil, a halfling rogue who dwells in the vicinity and whom he still has contact with. The two have been associates in thievery on more than one occasion. ----- Marlak is definetly not chaotic, or bestial. He thinks thing through, and plans ahead. He doesn't seem to fit in with that aspect of Malar. Are there any other huntsman-type dieties? :Begins flipping through Faiths and Pantheons: Added: Hmn, this is tough. Any suggestions?
inci 07-26-03, 06:17 AM	why shouldn't silvanus sponsor him ? just because he kills some wolves ? dont think that silvanus cares enough about a single person. sure, from what you describe this person has a tendency toward NE, so maybe it is really Malar who grants him the spells - without him knowing, trying to draw Marlak into his ranks. Auril could be worth a thought too, but she is patron of most winter wolves afaik
