 History/Relationships:  It used to be that nearly every pantheon had a deity of nature or three. Ithzid was once three of these. Three rival deities united in the face of the raw ravaging of nature during the great war Though of different philosophies; one representing the growth and healing of nature, one representing the natural, neutral cycle encompassing everything, and one representing the brutality and harshness of nature, they learned to fight together, eventually forming into the same entity in order to survive. Now, a three headed beastlike entity with a bark-clad body, the head of a wise man in the center, the head of a treant on one side, and the head of a slavering beast on the other.

 Dogma:  Nature is many things. It saves lived and destroys them, it is inexorable and inevitable, but always changing. More than anything, nature is right. Do not let the march of civilization crush forests, and bring the wonders of the forest to those places that lack them. Bring yourself closer to what is natural and keep away from all else. 

 Clergy and Temples:  There is little official faith for Ithzid. His temples are hallowed clearings, great oaks, and caves filled with the gnawed bones of fallen beasts. His clerics are varied in philosophies and values, but all come ultimately to the idea that nature is superior to the alternative. While some believe in striking a balance, finding peace with society, others strike out violently at woodsmen and fishermen who waste needlessly.
