'''Emmantiensien''' ({{Pronounce|emm|ann|tee|enz|ee|an|refs=<ref name="MM-pp117-118" />}}) was the god of [[treant]]s<ref name="MM-p122" /><ref name="OHG-p175" /> and a member of the Outer Circle of Queen [[Titania]]'s [[Seelie Court]],<ref name="MM-pp117-118" /><ref name="PoC-BoC-p9">{{Cite book/Planes of Chaos/The Book of Chaos|9}}</ref> acting as the court sage.<ref name="MM-p122" /> The name was in fact a contraction of a much longer [[treant language|Treantish]] name, which translated to "one who is slow to rouse but is great in might when stirred to action".<ref name="MM-pp117-118" />

==Description==
Emmantiensien appeared as a treant. His bark reflected light. He stood tall, and his roots drove deep to wrap around a magical crystal.<ref name="MM-p122" />

==Personality==
Grave and quiet,<ref name="MM-pp117-118" /> Emmantiensien was a god of few words; when he spoke, however, everyone listened, for his wisdom was great.<ref name="MM-p122" /> He was [[Chaotic good|chaotic and good]] in his moral outlook.<ref name="MM-p122" /><ref name="OHG-p175" />

==Powers==
Emmantiensien's [[avatar]]s could [[speak with animals]] and [[Speak with plants|plants]] and could animate trees, as could all treants. He could [[control flames]] at will and [[create plant growth|cause plants to grow]]. He had the power to summon elder treants to his side and also to bless one of them with enhanced spellcasting powers by interlocking branches.<ref name="MM-p122" />

The connection of his roots to the ancient crystal allowed him to project a [[prismatic spray]] of magical power or [[weird|create a phantasmical illusion that could destroy foes]] every several days. It also granted him some ancient powers that not even Titania possessed in her arsenal.<ref name="MM-p122" />

Emmantiensien was immune to all [[enchantment]]s and [[charm]]s, [[illusion]]s, and paralyzation. However, he was weak against [[fire]].<ref name="MM-p122" />

Finally, Emmantiensien had access to [[druid]]ic magics as well as spells of [[elemental earth]] and [[water]] typically used by [[wizard]]s.<ref name="MM-p122" />

==Divine Realm==
The Treant-King shared the [[divine realm]] of the other members of the Seelie Court,<ref name="OHG-p175" /> which had no permanent location but instead wandered from plane to plane, from the [[Beastlands (plane)|Beastlands]] to [[Arborea]] to [[Ysgard]].<ref name="OHG-p137" /><ref name="PoC-BoC-p9" />

==Activities==
Connected as he was to the roots of his realm, the sage of the Seelie Court could hear murmurings of entities living deep beneath the surface of many worlds. He also listened to the wind and to animals resting in the branches of his avatars. He spoke with [[fey|faeries]] and listened to the songs of the [[elves]]. Thus, he gathered a great deal of information useful to the Court, and he never forgot anything that he heard—though it might take him a long time to recall something from deep in his memory.<ref name="MM-p122" />

Emmantiensien sent his avatars to protect ancient forests, where they would watch, appearing dormant but in fact ever-vigilant. They might even lead treants in battle against those who would seek to annihilate sylvan lands.<ref name="MM-p122" />

His avatars would attend the centurial meetings of the elder treants.<ref name="MM-p122" />

==Relationships==
Besides being a member of the Outer Court of the Seelie,<ref name="MM-pp117-118" /> Emmantiensien was strongly allied with the elven nature god [[Rillifane Rallathil]].<ref name="DD-pp120,122">{{Cite book/Demihuman Deities|120,122}}</ref> Emmantiensien, Rillifane, and [[Silvanus]] often carried on long and deep conversations together.<ref name="DD-pp120,122" />

==Worshipers==
Emmantiensien was revered by chaotic good treants as a god of their people and of trees and deep, hidden magic. He was seen as an eternal being of wisdom, similar to how the [[scaled ones]] saw the [[World Serpent]].<ref name="MM-p122" /> His [[holy symbol]] was two acorns.<ref name="MM-p122" /><ref name="OHG-p175" />

Some [[elves]] of [[Faerûn]] offered prayers to him along with their worship of the [[Seldarine]], as they also did to the other deities of the [[fey]] people.<ref name="DD-p92">{{Cite book/Demihuman Deities|92}}</ref> Followers of [[Baervan Wildwanderer]] were known to work with the treant-priests of Emmantiensien within the [[Forgotten Forest]].<ref name="DD-p138">{{Cite book/Demihuman Deities|138}}</ref>

==History==
No origin story existed for Emmantiensien, and thus it was claimed that he had always existed. The crystal about which his roots curled tightly, however, was said to have been created by an even more ancient, unknown power.<ref name="MM-p122" />
