Solonor Thelandira Solonor Thelandira ( pronounced soe " - loe - nohr theh - " lan " - dih - ruh " ) was the elven god of hunting , archery , and survival in wild and harsh places . He taught his followers the arts of hunting ; including archery , moving unseen and hiding in the wild places . He watched over the borders of wilderness and farmed land and sought to maintain the balance between them . Solonor lived in the realm of Arvandor on the plane of Arborea . Description . Solonor manifested as a lean & muscular male elf clad in a cloak of leaves . Wolf , a Beast Totem Spirit worshipped by wild elves , was often depicted at the side of Solonor in religious iconography . Personality . Solonor always kept his word and so did not offer it lightly . He often came across as grim due to the complexities of his duty making compromises between those who wanted to exploit nature ' s gifts and those who wished to preserve nature in an unaltered state . Realm . Solonor ' s divine realm was called the Pale Tree and was located in the deepest , most dense part of Arvandor ' s unspoilt woodlands . It was a huge tree , towering far above even neighbouring redwoods , with white bark and silver leaves . Solonor ' s petitioner s lived among its boughs on platforms , with ropes placed among them for travel between them . Solonor himself spent very little time there . Elves believed that leaves taken from the tree had mystical powers and were therefore very valuable to them . Abilities . Solonor could draw two special " arrows of slaying " from his quiver per day . First , he needed to touch his intended target , but then he could create this arrow that , should it hit , would instantly kill them unless they were a demigod or more powerful . If he could not touch his quarry , it would be a regular " arrow of slaying " for the type of creature it was fired at . He was almost impossible to ambush , since he was aware of any being within 1 , 500 feet of him . He was also capable of turning any arrow shot at him back upon the firer , effectively making him immune to most missile attacks . In arboreal surroundings , Solonor could become both invisible and completely silent , leaving absolutely no trace of his passing unless he wanted to . Finally , Solonor was the best archer among all of the gods of Faerûn . Possessions . Solonor carried the magical elven longbow " Longshot " , that could fire as far as the horizon , accompanied by the " Quiver of Endless Arrows " that never emptied of magical ammunition . He also wore " boots of varied tracks " and a " necklace of adaptation " . Activities . Solonor was never in one place long , and was always hunting some quarry or another . He hunted not to kill for killing ' s sake but to maintain the balance of nature and to destroy evil . He did not close with foes , but tracked them and shot from a distance . Relationships . Solonor was well - respected member of the Seldarine , answering to Corellon Larethian . He counted as allies practically all good - aligned nature deities as well as Silvanus and several beast cults . Solonor was particularly close to Eilistraee and Mielikki , both of whom he has been said to be romantically linked with at some point . Solonor counted Malar and Talos as his worst foes , with Lolth earning the next greatest amount of his ire . Solonor also opposed the Unseelie Court , particularly the Queen of Air and Darkness , and any deity who would despoil nature . Worshipers . Solonor ' s worshipers were invariably elves or half - elves of a natural bent , usually rangers , or other warriors who were particularly skilled at archery . Dogma . Walk in harmony with nature and oppose the efforts of those who would disturb her delicate balance . Preserve the wild places from excessive encroachment , and work with those who would settle the land to preserve the beauty that first attracted them . Hunt only for sustenance , culling the old and the weak from the herd so that all species may prosper . Like an arrow in flight , it is difficult to arrest the consequences of an action . Choose your targets carefully , for an ill - considered action can have a long - reaching impact .
