Dogma/History:
        
    Nathis Kul is the Lord of Nature of the Three Worlds.  Born when the worlds were yet young and unclaimed, Nathis spent much of his mortal life in and around the Clearwater region, the cradle of the human race.  With his companions, Harrod Crossriver and Emil Enchatrissen, he adventured restlessly.  His mortal exploits, some remembered more than others, include the first meeting of the Clearwater branch of humanity with its barbarian cousins to the southwest, first contact with the elven race, the defeat of the blue dragon overlord Chyrnoblis, the creation of the Astrolab of Nathis, and the creation of the alloy called Aelium-Forged Steel.  His most well known accomplishment, however, is that he was the very first mortal to be raised to Divinity.  When the Three Worlds ceaseless turning grew unstable, calling out for a strong hand to guide and steward them, it was Nathis Kul that they Deified to take on that role.

    Now ancient, Nathis is revered the worlds over as the lord of all nature, steward of the green and growing, shepherd of the animal kingdom, and master of the four primal elements.  His faith is common almost everywhere, kept strong by all those that depend on the natural world for their survival.  Farmers beseech him for good growing seasons and great harvests, sailors pray to him for clear skies and a strong wind at their back, soldiers sing praise for mild marching weather. 

    Nathis teaches that the Creator Gods made the Three Worlds for life grow and thrive, but that life is in turn responsible for the careful cultivation and preservation of those worlds.  He espouses a view that the cultivation of land should be thoughtful, well planned, and responsible.  Only that portion that is needed should be tamed.  As the crop field is sacred, to too are the wilds.  Civilization is natural to the humanoid races, but the urge to civilize must be tempered with reason.  Likewise, the domestication of animal kind is not offensive, in and of itself.  Over domestication, such that few or no wild versions of the animals exist in an area is terrible, though.  Love the land and it shall nurture you, abuse it and it shall forsake you.

    Nathis is the avowed enemy of uncontrolled outsiders on the prime material plane.  He makes exception to this rule only for those elementals that steward or guard powerful examples of the element they pertain too.  Nathis is also disgusted by undeath, teaching that the undead state is a break in the natural cycle of life and death.  His priests and druids root out and destroy undead in their environments whenever possible.

    The Church of Nathis celebrates two major holy days.  The most sacred is Nathmas, celebrated on the 18th day of Naathus.  Nathmas commemorates the ascension of Nathis to Divinity.  Clerics, Druids, and other faithful flock to temples and druid circles to attend feasts in The Green Man's honor on this day.  Voshe 30th is also an important holiday, The Winds of Gratitude. The day is one of gratitude, with his faithful writing down all that the bounty of nature has provided them for the previous year on scraps of parchment.  In the hour of the setting sun, when the winds pick up these scraps are burnt in fires with holly, mistletoe, and sage, sending their gratitude to Nathis on the evening winds. 

    Rites and Rituals of the Church or Nathis vary a great deal from region to region.  Only one seems to be universal, The Gathering of Six.  The Gathering of the Six is a ritual of initiation for clerics of Nathis.  The initiate must go forth into the wilderness and find six objects that represent the six domains of Nathis.  Once gathered, he must find a secluded spot to perform the ceremony, which entails chants and meditations to discover which of those domains calls most to him.  

Relationships:

   Nathis is on cordial terms with most other Gods.  Since he was young he revered the three Creator Gods and still does to this day.  Korik and Galleon, as the epitome of their race, He respects though Koric's casual relationship with undead and outsiders does displease him.  He regards Dardanis as a younger brother, and believes that as the three worlds were designed to generate arcane energy, Dardanis is, in fact, a god of nature as well.  Sierra governs fertility itself, a thing Nathis admires greatly, though wrapping such a noble thing in romance and passion seems like much ado about nothing to him.  Similarly, Myr's dominion of Life is a power to be honored, though his slavish devotion to extreme goodness has no place in the natural world.  Of all the Deities of Severall, it is only Cyian and Chal-Tsu that concern him.  Cyian's aggressive determination to conquer the world has turned to madness, proven by his willingness to throw open the very gates to Hell to accomplish his goals. Chal-Tsu, on the other hand, Nathis truly despises.  As the God of Undeath itself, Chal-Tsu is the embodiment of the breaking of the cycle of nature.  His disgust with Chal-Tsu knows no earthly bounds and he actively works against The First Lich whenever possible. 

Clergy:

    For ages now, the Nathitar Clergy has engraved the aspect or aspects of their god they most favor in the center of their holy symbols, a fact that any with a small amount of Knowledge Religion understand.  Over the years this has led to a common convention in honorifics used for his clergy.  A word that describes the central image is used and then followed with Brother or Sister.  A cleric with flames carved in the center of her holy symbol is simply called Flamesister, while a druid with stormclouds and lightning might be called Stormbrother or Windbrother.  Clerics and Druids of 10th level of higher often receive the word "Great" before their honoriffic, as in Great Skybrother or Great Wolfsister.  Those of 17th level or higher lose the "brother/sister" suffix and are instead called lord such as Earthlord, Greenlord, or Staglord.  This title convention has become quite widespread, and is one of the few things that unite the otherwise diffuse and varied faith of the Green Man.
