    Default Searching for Nature Deities

    Hello guys :)

    I am searching for nature deities like Ehlonna and Obad-Hai for something I plan to do in my game.

    I am also looking for the source for every deity and I really need an Evil one

    You do know there's tons of deities even just in core (Greyhawk) and non setting specific sources, right?
    May i suggest google? A 5 second search found this list of D&D 3.5 deities (non setting specific) and this list of Forgotten Realms deities.

    Seriously, it's like some intern was paid just to invent new deities. I feel like i got a rank in knowledge:religion just from skimming those lists.

    Those lists scarcely mention the alignments of any of those deities, and the descriptions of most of the more obscure gods don't seem to make mention of alignment in many cases either, except when they are at least big enough to have their own wikipedia article.

    The best match I'm seeing just by perusing the lists is Karaan, a chaotic evil god of beasts and lycanthropes from the Book of Vile Darkness. The description in BoVD describes him as an entity of savage lust and wanton destruction, representing the dark side of nature and being enemy to Obad-Hai and Ehlonna. His followers are primarily beasts, and those that aren't tend towards behaving as though they were.

    Thank you, I didn't know.

    Thank you, he may fit my idea, now that I got a list from the sleepyphoenixx I can search for more.

    If Forgotten Realms is okay, other evil nature deities include the likes of Malar, Talos, Umberlee and Auril.

    But as sleepyphoenix mentioned this is a pretty tall order; it might be best to give more details about the kind of nature deity you want (acceptable alignments? primary gender? setting? animal focus? plant focus? weather focus? nothing specific?) and have us provide more specific suggestions, than having us type out every nature deity that exists in 3.5.
