Among the Conclave of Six, the Seeker in Starlight is most closely tied to the land of Aeloryn. As goddess of nature, she is the least likely of the Six to be found in large settlements (with the exception of her home city of Tenoatl in the rainforests of Cobahkul,) and rarely formally addresses her followers. She seems to prefer to teach by example, leading her sacred hunts on journeys which can last for months and reach the far corners of the continent of Ocotia.
Many of her worshipers revere the Seeker’s natural aspect, with those gifted in the magical arts practicing druidry or nature-aligned divine magics. Some, however, look to her role as the goddess of journeys, an aspect which is revered most often by travelers and explorers. Additionally, tales of those who revere the Seeker’s aspect of savagery and wild chaos speak of warriors who fly into primal rages, becoming avatars of the destructive force that lays beneath the beauty of nature.
While several of the gods have demonstrated the ability to alter their appearance, the Seeker is the only member of the Conclave who has habitually appeared in animal forms – most commonly taking on the shape of a large black jaguar, though when in other regions she is known to assume the form of that area’s dominant predator.
When not in an animal form, the Seeker most often appears as a tall elven woman with skin of a color reminiscent of the bark of the Redwood forests found in parts of the Northern Wildlands and Othland. In whatever form she assumes, the Seeker is distinguishable by her sparkling silver-white eyes, said to hold the light of the stars from which she takes her title.
The Seeker’s more minor aspects include, perhaps predictably, goddess of stars of the heavens which she, and her followers, use for navigation when journeying through unknown lands. Additionally, she is the goddess of rivers, whose journey from their source to the sea she ordained during the creation of Aeloryn. Many roads throughout our world are laid out following the course of rivers, in the belief that the Seeker is more inclined to bless journeys which are made at riverside. She is also sometimes revered as the goddess of sailors and the seas, as the tide is said to be an eternal journey of the ocean waters to and from the land.
While the Marshal’s prowess in combat is unmatched, the Seeker is said to be a fearsome presence on the battlefield, making use of her animal forms and more traditional weaponry with equal skill. Her favored weapons are the bows and spears common to hunters.
