Arvoreen

Arvoreen, also known as The Defender, is the halfling deity of protection, vigilance, and war and an exarch of Sheela Peryroyl, herself a servant of Chauntea the Earthmother. He is fiercely protective of the halfling race and its settlements. Arvoreen lives in the realm of the Green Fields on the plane of Mount Celestia and his sacred animal is the war dog.

Worshipers
Arvoreen charges his followers to defend halfling homes by being prepared against any aggressive incursions by participating in regular drills, arms practice and planning. He is worshipped by his clerics before battle; they wear silver chainmail and helmets. Silvered weapons are typically sacrificed to him when followers seek his blessing.

Relationships
Of the halfling gods, Arvoreen is most closely aligned with Yondalla, Cyrrollalee and Urogalan. She disapproves of the more capricious members of the pantheon, such as Brandobaris. Evil deities, especially the patrons of goblinoids incite Arvoreen to great wrath. She opposes Bane, Cyric and the Deities of Fury.
