Ophiodus'_Grove

Woodland grove of the dehar, Ophiodus


This place is a shaded woodland grove. The shining afternoon light of day is peering down through the hazy moist air of the space below the canopy overhead. The leaves above glisten with a lingering dew, and birds, crickets and scurrying beasts can be heard nearby. The moist air lingers and clings to the skin, and you can feel it in your throat and lungs as you breathe; it is a sopping mist of potent botanical odors and perfumed mosses atop the crude stench of stone and soil, and of serpent venom.

This place is both seductive and entrancing, virtuous and dangerous; it has the deep carnivorous hunger of the swamp, and the pensiveness of the savannah. The taste of the air and surrounding wildlife seeps into your throat and on your tongue as you breathe, and you are sure you are tasting both life and death in the wafting pollen and vapors.

Welcoming you cautiously with a gesture, the dehar remains guarded as his domain is entered. A large nearby wolf or wolverine is most assuredly tracking with intention those who step foot in this place without permission or due praise. An altar stands used for millenia beneath a circle surrounded by looming trees: an oak, birch, maple, and a willow tree each marking a cardinal direction of the winds when they come through. Today is not one of those breezy days; the sapping moisture sucks the very oxygen from your breath, should you be mortal.

The light shines, gleening in his copper sheets of hair; bands of flimsy metal with leaf-like flecks of malachite mass in the coils. Silence is his greeting, and solemnity his pride.

Ophiodus can also be called Ophidias/Ophidius/Ophiod/Ophoi, as well as the Angel and the Serpent; he is attributed to the constellation Ophiuchus on Earth/Tiamat.

See Wraeththu and Wraeththu RPG. This is a roleplay, but it is also a wikipage. Anything goes, but do not disrespect the domain or its Keeper. Other gods/goddesses should send avatars or messengers, but never arive in godly form to this place to speak with the dehar. You may use the term he/him to refer to him, but he is a true hermaphrodite, neither male nor female but both in one body. He has a somewhat masculine form, but is not considerably masculine most often.

Ophiodus has green eyes, golden-bronze skin, shimmering copper hair with malachite-green flecks in it. He is always nude but for his curtain-length copper hair. He sometimes has smears of soil or exotic grease-paints on his body, but attracts no certain style or tradition to himself. Natural elements and reflective surfaces are his preferred gifts and sacraments. Worshippers are allowed, but approached with reckless abandon - either for good or ill. All who enter must bring praise/sacraments in order to be recognized. Conferences are allowed only with saints, demons, and deities, and should be performed formally with a messenger or courtier persona.

The wolf is not nice, so don't pet him.
