Ehlonna (eh-LOHN-nah) is a Power that has many aspects: huntress, ranger, woman of the woods, protector of elves and half-elves, fertility goddess. She is concerned with all aspects of woodland life including the protection of good humans and demi-humans, especially (half) elves. She is depicted as a young, lovely female (human, elven or half-elven, choosing which form she wills). In any form, she is recognized by her startling deep blue-violet eyes and a very clear and fair complexion. She combats those who would harm or despoil the forest of its resources and beauty.

The woodlands are a beautiful place full of life. The secrets of the forests should be learned and taught so that people can live in harmony with nature. Those who would harm or exploit the woodlands must be driven out or destroyed. The plants and animals of the forest are things that nature gives as gifts, not things to be stolen.

Ehlonna is kind and benevolent, but sternly opposes evil humanoids and marauders who despoil woodlands. Her faith is strong among those who live in and around woodlands. Services of worship include simple repasts (often of uncooked, "natural" foods gathered in the woodlands), drinking of wine, and the playing of flutes, pipes, and lyres. If a bard is at hand to entertain, so much the better.

Ehlonna’s clerics are fine woodsmen, with males and females equally represented and regarded within loose hierarchies. They are skilled hunters and woodland spies, and work to protect woodlands against evil.
