Sheela Peryroyl Sheela Peryroyl ( sometimes misspelled Peryroyal ) is the halfling goddess of nature , song , dance , agriculture , and romantic love . When Yondalla was revealed to be an aspect of Chauntea after the Spellplague , Sheela became the prominent halfling deity . The distant , somewhat aloof Sheela Peryroyl ( prounced shee - lah pair - re - roil ) plays an important role in the culture of ghostwise halfling s , representing balance between the tamed earth of agricultural civilization and the verdant growth of the wild . Sometimes worshiped by agrarian lightfoot halfling s , the bulk of Sheela ' s worshipers dwell under the leafy canopies of secluded forests such as Chondalwood . Among civilized halflings , Sheela represents balance related to the harvest , for not only does she oversee the dutiful toil of the fields , but also the joyful celebration when work is finished . Patron of song , dance , and romance , halflings send prayers to Sheela Peryroyl during courtship , galas , and weddings . Ghostwise halfling s honor Sheela as the providing force of the natural world , making her more important figure than even Yondalla was in their obscure culture . Constructed of stone and dirt , curtains of fine vines , and carefully - balanced rocks and living plants , Sheela ' s open - roofed temples appear to be woven from the earth itself . Animals roam freely among patches of wildflowers , gardens , and weeds . Those used to the structured rooms of " civilized " regions often find the growth and life here chaotic and disconcerting , but Sheela ' s cleric s and druid s , known collectively as Green Children , insist there are patterns in the wilderness , and that these patterns maintain a delicate balance . In the farmlands , Green Children meditate disputes between growers , sanctify marriages , free harvests from natural or unnatural blights , and protect the community from animals and beats driven to violence by wounds or hunger . In return , they ensure that communities treat the wilderness with respect , that homesteads never encroach to far into natural habitats . The ghostwise consider Green Children the voice of Sheela Peryroyl , and defer to them as guardians of culture and protectors of the wild fastness . Green Children pray for spells at dawn . Every month , several of Sheela ' s faithful convene with their counterparts in neighboring communities to organize moonlight festivals known as Gatherings . All residents of the community are expected to attend and pitch in by bringing some bounty of the most recent harvest , either taken straight from the fields in the warm months or dug from the root cellar during winter . The sites of these Gatherings rotate monthly through local halfling communities , strengthening neighborly bonds . Many of Sheela ' s clerics and druids multiclass as rangers . They turn rather than rebuke undead . History / Relationships . Sheela counts all her pantheon as allies , but is closest to the inscrutable Urogalan , appreciating his aspects as Lord of the Earth . All Toril ' s non - evil nature deities value her as a cool mind and level - headed thinker capable of disarming tense diplomatic issues with forthright honesty and warming smiles . Such qualities make her the perfect " Celestial Mediator " when tensions flare between such worthies as Silvanus and Waukeen . This role has transcended to the mortal realm , where even some non halflings give honor to Sheela Peryroyl before entering a pact or important negotiation . Dogma . Living in harmony with nature requires a careful balance between the wild and the tame , the feral and the tended . The need to preserve wild growth is equal to the need to take in the harvest . While nature can be adapted , it should be evolved , never forced ; work within the framework of what already exists .
