Di’Zul, The Lucid
Title(s): The Verdant Sage, Keeper of the Wild, The Rootmother, Lady of the Eternal Grove
Domain: Nature, Balance, Rebirth, Beasts, and the Cycle of Life
Alignment: Neutral
Factions Associated: Primarily Dream, with ties to Independent
Origins & Ascension
Long before the rise of mortal civilizations, when the world was still raw and untamed, Di’Zul was not yet a god but a mere spirit—an ancient entity born from the first seed that took root in fertile soil. As centuries passed, this spirit grew in strength, merging with the forests, the rivers, and the beasts that roamed the lands. She became one with nature, whispering through the leaves, running with the wolves, and growing with the trees.
But balance is fleeting. As mortals advanced, they carved into the wilderness, felling ancient groves, draining rivers, and bending nature to their will. Di’Zul, no longer content to be a passive observer, took form—a colossal, half-human, half-cow druid wreathed in vines, bark, and the wisdom of countless ages. With powerful hooved legs, a strong, fur-covered body, and great curling horns adorned with hanging moss, she embodied both the wild majesty of nature and the wisdom of the eternal cycle.
Legends say it was during the First Epoch’s great war between Divine and Void that Di’Zul ascended. Neither force could claim her, for she saw both light and darkness as extremes that disrupted the natural balance. Instead, she walked between the lines, an arbiter of cycles, recognizing that destruction begets renewal, and death is but a prelude to rebirth. It was then that the Dream Faction welcomed her, honoring her philosophy of nature’s endless cycle.
Beliefs & Philosophy
Di’Zul teaches that nature is neither kind nor cruel—it simply is. Her doctrine revolves around preservation and renewal rather than mindless protection. To her followers, the destruction of a forest is tragic, but only if it does not pave the way for new life. To slay a beast is not evil, but to kill without purpose is a sin against the wild.
Her priests, known as The Verdant Keepers, believe in maintaining harmony. Some act as guardians of sacred groves, ensuring no one upsets the natural equilibrium. Others take a more active role, shapeshifting into beasts and striking against those who exploit nature for greed rather than necessity.
Manifestations & Symbols
Di’Zul is rarely seen in a single form, for she embodies all aspects of nature. At times, she appears as a towering minotaur-like figure draped in vines, her antlered head crowned with blooming flowers. Other times, she manifests as a shifting presence, walking as a bear, then a wolf, then a tree before fading into the wind.
Her symbol is the Elder Spiral, representing the cycle of death and rebirth, often carved into ancient stones or tattooed onto her most devoted followers.
Rivalries & Alliances
- Allied with: The Dream Faction, who understand her vision of balance through adaptation.
- Respected by: The Independent Faction, who admire her self-governing philosophy.
- At odds with: The Divine, whose insistence on order disrupts natural cycles, and the Void, whose hunger for entropy seeks to devour rather than renew.
Legacy
Di’Zul’s name is spoken with reverence in the depths of ancient forests, where trees whisper her blessings and rivers carve her stories into stone. Her shrines are living groves, tended by druids and rangers who seek her wisdom. Some claim that in times of dire imbalance, Di’Zul herself will awaken from the roots of the world, walking once more to restore the cycle.
