Sentient Land
Father Forest
"From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That's what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest." - Jane Goodall

"I find it strange that Gaia would give birth to humans with the power to reshape all that she is. Perhaps they are of another origin entirely, yet some honor nature, and honor Her in the doing."
|

"A terrible corruption of nature's path. Long after their corpses should have fed the earth and given rise to new life, they somehow carry on in defiance of Gaia."
|

"As Luna's servant, it is my duty to aid Gaia's children, and the Garou in particular. Although they speak to a tree when they address me, they grasp that every step they take in the forest's heart treads upon my body. Those who have turned from Gaia's path and attempt to attack me will know all the wrath Luna has placed at my command."

"Simultaneously Gaia's most successful children, and her most malleable. Some are deeply honorable and reason well with nature. Others become servants of the enemy, sometimes knowingly and for their own benefit. Allies and enemies, each in their own way. It troubles me that many are turning to Weaver in this age of technology, but I am far more threatened by those who go to Wyrm in search of malign power they should not have."

"I know very little of them, save that they sound to be something foreign to Gaia."
|
|
"Unless they refer to Gaia when they speak of having served God in shaping the Earth, I doubt their claims of their origins, as well as their motives."
|
|
"Not alive, not precisely spirits. I am given to feeling a certain sadness for them."

- Father Forest's presence would be easily felt and known to any Gaian. He is the heart of the forest made sentient by Gaia's touch. Although his being extends throughout that area, those who need a 'face' to speak to are aware of a particularly gigantic tree located in room 1009 of the forest +map.
- As a sentient landmass consecrated to Luna, Father Forest is particularly inclined to aid (and be respected by) Luna's servants, the Garou in particular.
- Father Forest's geas appears to demand that he heal who asks for his assistance. This can be troublesome if an enemy makes such a request, of course. Friendly parties would likely understand that repeatedly abusing this obligation would probably irritate the Kami.
- Animate land is the rarest and most powerful type of Kami. Knowledgeable individuals would no doubt understand that they should be approached with caution and respect. As to why Gaia made Father Forest, he has kept such knowledge to himself to date.
