Jaq

Jacqueline, sexton of a disbanded nature temple.

Character Backstory

Jaq's mother was a maid, who, for meagre wages, performed her duties, among other places, at a small temple dedicated to the gods of nature, which was situated at the edge of a forest on a picturesque stream. One bad day it turned out that she had not just put on a little weight, as she unexpectedly delivered during her work, a little daughter - father unknown, but probably one of her employers. Jaq's mother never really recovered of the delivery and died after about a year. The young orphan was taken into the care of the nature-priest, one Olivier. It is not clear if this is his first, family, or false name. If pressed for a family name, Jaq will use 'Olivier' as her family name, although she prefers to go without or just use 'Jacqueline of Mielikki' when just Jaq would not do).

The small temple where Jaq grew up and has worked as a factotum for as long as she can remember, has recently ceased operations because for some time the payments on the lease for the land it was on could not be raised anymore. This was mostly caused by Olivier just being a bad manager, the meagre income/donations being gambled away, converted into luxery goods and/or drunk up. Taking into account her personality and flaws, Jaq of course does not see it this way. The landowner prefered to lease out the premises to a watermiller instead, and things came about thusly.

Because over the last years Olivier usually was too hammered ("in bed with headaches caused by the money troubles"), sat in some or other disreputable gambling dive ("traveling to recruit new donors"), or lounged in a bar with vague friends ("in conclave" etc.) and therefore not available to lead the services, Jaq frequently took those over, based on the years worth of notes and preparations of an Olivier still doing his duties, as she experienced him in their younger years.

Similarly, all the simpler odd-jobs that Olivier did not feel like doing anymore ("could, unfortunately, due to his busy involvement over more important business, not make enough time free for"), such as cleaning, care and maintenance of the buildings, helping members of the congregation with their pains, aches and petty troubles, gathering ingredients for the meals and preparing these, etcetera and so forth, were of course taken care of for him by Jaq.

When the temple ceased operations, Jaq was given by Olivier, in part as thanks for the work done and in part as an attempt to secure and preserve them just in case, a number of "valuable relics" from the temple's inventory (mainly old junk that even Olivier hadn't been able to flog off for cash) as starting equipment, and went forth into the wider world in search of further making herself useful in this life.

Mielikkian Faith

Organisation

All the faithful of Mielikki are known as Walkers of the Forest Way. They are now organized into three branches of devotion: the Heartwoods, the Forestarms, and the Needles.

Heartwoods: The Heartwoods are the heart of the faith, and serve as voices of the spirits of the trees themselves. These members of Mielikki's faithful include dryads, hamadryads, and treants.
Forestarms: The spiritual followers of Mielikki, known as the Arms of the Forest, or Forestarms, are the clerics and druids of her faith. They protect the forests of the world. Mielikki's priesthood is open to all good and neutral humans, demihumans, and members of other woodland races, but tends to be dominated by human and half-elf women of battle experience, passionate character, and adventuring interests.
Needles: The Needles are rangers. They are considered to be the most beloved of the Lady of the Forest. They sometimes serve as clergy, but most often act as the warrior arm of the faith and serve a defensive role protecting the forests from marauders, humanoids, and the followers of the god Malar. Included in this branch is a small religious order of druid/ranger woodland knights known as the Shadoweirs (SHA-doh-weerz).

Forestarms and Needles are given to dwelling in the forest. (Heartwoods do so per force.) Forestarms and Needles often have two or more abodes and a dozen or more caches of food and items that they can travel to in times of need. They tend to be the most adventuresome of forest and wilderness dwellers and to have easy-going dispositions. They are serene in their knowledge of the balance of natural cycles and at peace with all other sylvan faiths except the followers of Malar (whom they call "the Great Beast" or "the Beast of Beasts" or "the Bloodgod").

Forestarms tend to be practical, unfussy folk, reverent in their fireside prayers to the Lady but impatient with too much ceremony. Their titles reflect this:

Questers: Novices, who, once they are accepted into the ranks of the priesthood may rise through the following ranks.
Spring Stag: Clergy members of less than two winters of service
Stalkers in the Green: Experienced clergy who have not achieved outstanding achievements or appointments to senior temple staff duties
Forest Flames: Senior temple staff, envoys, and recognized tutors of the faithful
High Rangers: Leaders of temples and champions of the faith
Hawks of the Lady: This last title is given by the Lady herself to denote her most cherished and high-ranking followers.

Temple staff titles tend to be very simple: Cook, Master of Novices, Doorwarden, Housemaster, Prior, Abbot, and Worship Master are all common titles.

Dogma

Mielikki's followers are close to those of Silvanus in outlook and ethos, save that they stress the positive and outreaching nature of the wild. Intelligent beings can live in harmony with the wild without requiring the destruction of one in the name of the other. Mielikki's outlook matches that of rangers in general, which is why she is their patron.
Mielikkians are taught to embrace the wild and not fear it, because the wild ways are the good ways. They are to keep the balance and learn the hidden ways of all life. They should not allow trees to be needlessly felled or the forest to be burned. They are to live in the forest and be a part of the forest, not dwell in endless battle against the forest.
Walkers of the Forest Way must protect forest life, defend every tree, plant anew where death fells a tree, and strive to keep the balance that indiscriminate fire-users and woodcutters break. They are to live in harmony with the woods, to teach others to do so, and to punish and frustrate those who hunt for sport (not food) and who practice cruelties upon wild creatures.

Day-to-Day Activities

The Forestarms outlook is oriented toward the protection of nature (and forests in particular) from the forces of evil and ignorance. Many of these priests can be found wandering among small communities nestled at the edges of forests both great and small. They seek to teach humans and other goodly races to care and respect the trees and the life beneath their leafy bows. They try to prevent further encroachment by civilization on the remaining great forests by teaching careful forest husbandry. When called upon, they defend the forest with force of arms if necessary.
The Needles support the Forestarms of their own faith and the clergies of Eldath and Silvanus in defending, renewing, and even extending forests and forest life. Wherever possible without conflicting with this prime interest, they are to work against those who deal in fire magic (notably the Red Wizards and followers of Kossuth) and encourage city- and farm-dwelling folk to revere natural life and to view woodlands as rich, friendly places that are pleasant refuges for renewal and enjoying natural beauty, not deadly backlands to be feared and fought. They are also charged with supporting the Harpers when this does not conflict with their more primary duties, since the Harpers work against the rise of great powers, which tend to endanger all natural life and conditions around them by trying to reshape Faerun.
Rangers of all faiths are to be assisted whenever possible by Walkers of the Forest way, and the seeds of trees and woodland plants gathered, nurtured, and planted in an ongoing process so that 40 new trees will rise for every one taken by flame or axe. Many of the Forestarms and Needles visit foresters regularly to heal them and provide guidance so that as few trees as possible are taken and the forest is culled of weak creatures and unnatural predators, not creatures in the prime of life and health. In recent years, the Forestarms and Needles have worked with ranchers north of Melvaunt, eastern Amn, and the lands of the Dessarin to breed deer in large herds for food and pelt use, leaving the wild deer of the forests to recover—along with all the other forest creatures that either depend on deer for food, or are killed or frightened away by casual human forest incursions.

Goats: Ivory Goats (Rare). These ivory statuettes of goats are always created in sets of three. Each goat looks unique and functions differently from the others. Their properties are as follows:
The goat of traveling can become a Large goat with the same statistics as a riding horse. It has 24 charges, and each hour or portion thereof it spends in beast form costs 1 charge. While it has charges, you can use it as often as you wish. When it runs out of charges, it reverts to a figurine and can't be used again until 7 days have passed, when it regains all its charges.
The goat of travail becomes a giant goat for up to 3 hours. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 30 days have passed.
The goat of terror becomes a giant goat for up to 3 hours. The goat can't attack, but you can remove its horns and use them as weapons. One horn becomes a +1 lance, and the other becomes a +2 longsword. Removing a horn requires an action, and the weapons disappear and the horns return when the goat reverts to figurine form. In addition, the goat radiates a 30 foot radius aura of terror while you are riding it. Any creature hostile to you that starts its turn in the aura must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of the goat for 1 minute, or until the goat reverts to figurine form. The frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once it successfully saves against the effect, a creature is immune to the goat's aura for the next 24 hours. Once the figurine has been used, it can't be used again until 15 days have passed.

You dealt with your greatest fears and are now more confidant in dealing with them. Since you’ve dealt with your nightmares once you can show this award in to gain advantage on your next roll to deal with your nightmare. You can only do this once per session. Write what the nightmare you dealt with was just below this story award. It’s your DMs final approval if the award is applicable in any situation.

I successfully conquered my fear of ending up having to deliver a sermon underprepared and without clothes with a large crowd streaming in. Cloaked in just a barkskin spell, I ad-libbed my way through a great sermon on the natural state.

In-Character Logs

I did not keep an In-Character log for Jaq, although some of the entries in the session logs are somewhat IC. Too bad. I might write something up eventually if I ever make the time.

It would be nice to have my exploits written out, but I'm too busy being useful to sit down and write them out.
