Who is the Horned Father of the Green Path
The horned god of nature is known to be a kind creature though stern in his beliefs. Like a jolly father, he enjoys watching as nature grows and flourishes, but will scorn those who defile his domain needlessly. Behruun is the patron god of all that has to do with nature, the wilds, animals and plants - and so he is who the druids of the realm will seek to praise for their boons. Some alchemists may praise Behruun for the wonderful works his herbs and plants offer their potions, salves and powders.
He is commonly worshiped as a pair with Jadasyl, the goddess of the Arcane and Fae. The beast-folk of the lands view them as the Father and Mother of all that is wild, whimsical and natural and believe that Behruun with Jadasyl created them.
As the patron of all that is part of nature, Behruun takes his duties as the protector, the hunter, and the loving father very seriously. He teaches of the cycle, that all things are born, live, and die - and through death and decay they are returned to the soil to create new life. His teachings are about being one with the wilds, not living away from it, and embracing the wild nature we all have. He is thought to be a calm and quiet figure, watching and placing judgment on those who enter his woodlands.
Behruun appears rather beast-like to the common elf - a rack of large antlers, with patches of moss and hanging vines dangling from them, rest on top of his head. His figure is broad and tall, and coated in a thin layer of rich reddish brown fur. Behind the beast-man, his long tail swings with a jagged spine sticking from the bottom - a reminder of his willingness to lash out in defense of the wilds.

The Afterlife of those who Follow the Green Path:
Those who praise Behruun and follow the teachings and path he provides for them will join him in Summerland, an eternal lush forest he calls home. Here souls of the Green Ones may reside alongside him and his favorite beasts. This haven is not reserved for just druids, but also those who lived a lifestyle Behruun would approve of, albeit there is a special place within Summerland that only those blessed with his boon may enter - The Glimmering Glade.
