The Fawn

Worship

Commonly worshiped among wall-builders and those of Wyrmhold as one of the Seasonal Four (specifically Spring). Her festivals are dances, parades and parties, celebrating new life. Children born over the winter are named. Unmarried people often find partners—expectations of fidelity are loosened (except among the dwarves, of course). “As seen in Dawn’s light” or “[he/she]’s seeing by Dawn’s light” is an expression meaning that one is over-optimistic (much like saying that someone is a Pollyanna).

Religious Precepts

Protect animals, especially the cute ones. Protect children and young creatures of all races—violence against those that would harm children is required. Be cheerful and happy. Sing and laugh, for winter is over. Spring is a time to fall in love. Have flings, but don't be jealous of others.
