		wolfhound, is always at his side, this animal will always move to take any

		places of druids, and will always act to protect them. When he fights he uses
		a large wooden hammer.

	Clericy Description: The priests of Silvanus are druids, with all the abilities noted
		on page 35 of the Player's Handbook.

		The ceremonial dress for the druids of Silvanus is a suit of armor made of
		overlapping leaves. The leaves are made of green-tinted leather and the suit
		functions as leather armor. This is worn with green breeches and shirt. The
		outfit is topped with a large helm of oak leaf-shaped wings.

		When adventuring, druids of Silvanus may wear their ceremonial armor or switch
		to something less flamboyant, depending on their mission.

		There are many druids who worship different gods in the Realms--Chauntea,
		Eldath, Silvanus, and Mielikki. All these groups maintain their own hierarchy
		of great druids, grand druids, and arch-druids. Their inter-faith relations are
		fairly cordial, and each will defer to the others in their areas of expertiese
		(Chauntea for crops, Eldath for pacifics and pools, Mielikki for forests and
		rangers, and Silvanus for nature in general and druids). Conflicts between the
		faiths are settles through negotiation, or failing that, ritual or personal
		combat.
