OLD DEITY


Holy Symbol of Elshawen
Elshawen
Elshawen is the chaotic-neutral goddess of Change, the Moon, Women, and Lycanthropes. During her mortal life, she was an elven werewolf living in the forest of Midwood. She came to power after Lolth died during the Scouring (a god's existence depends on them having followers, and Lolth's were all destroyed). All of Elshawen's clergy are women, though she is also worshipped by shapeshifters (lycanthropes and dopplegangers, for example), anyone who favors change (not necessarily anarchists), wizards who focus on transmutation spells, druids, and rangers.

Elshawen's favored weapon is the dagger, and the domains she is associated with are Animal, Chaos, Moon, and Protection. (The Moon domain is not in the Player's Handbook, but it is in the supplements Spell Compendium and Deities & Demigods.) Her holy symbol is a depiction of the four main phases of the moon arranged in a diamond pattern.
