**Drevphaea**, also notably known as the **Dreviemati** (Mother of Trees) and **Divanna** is a minor goddess of Order and is a goddess of nature, the wilderness, healing, warding, endurance and the hunt. She resides within the *Devanin Zaklon* (translates roughly to Divanna's Haven/Shelter), which is her realm within the Immaterium.

Within this realm also reside her followers, the Dreviavilas, a vampiric race that feeds on the blood of Psykers and draw power from it, which also feeds Drevphaea herself, who grows in power, much like Khorne grows in power from the carnage of uncountable wars.

## History

### War in Heaven - Birth of Slaanesh

Drevphaea's origins are shrouded in myths and superstition, but one of the most common beliefs amongst the Dreviavilas is that she was once a part of the Aeldari Pantheon of Gods and is more specifically said to be Isha, the Eldar Goddess of Nature and Kurnous, the Eldar God of the Hunt's daughter. She was most notably a Goddess of Warding/Protection at this time and was less notably a Goddess of Nature and the Hunt which she got from her parents.

According to their beliefs she left their Pantheon and took refuge inside the Immaterium, where she shaped the Golden Forest, inside of which she inhabited ever since and left only rarely.

She had many followers before and after this retreat, but their numbers slowly dwindled down throughout the millenia, until the only ones remaining were those who joined her inside the Golden Forest.

### Birth of Slaanesh - Present Day

This self-imposed isolation was shattered by the Birth of Slaanesh, as it significantly weakened the protective wards that were woven around Drevphaea's realm, which previously held back the various Immaterial predators seeking her blood. Slaanesh's Birth also caused Drevphaea to grow stronger in her aspects as a Goddess of Nature and the Wild due to Isha, her mother being abducted and enslaved by Nurgle and due to the death of her father, respectively.

Servants of the Four invaded the Golden Forest, and were slowly making their way to Devanin Zaklon, a massive golden tree in the middle of the Golden Forest inside of which Drevphaea resides.

Due to this she had to find a new way to endure the tide and found it in the invaders of her Realm. She gave her Arch Priestess a drop of her Golden Blood, granting her the ability to drink the blood of Daemons and Daemons and Psykers and grow from their power. Her Arch Priestess then spread Drevphaea's Blessing to her fellow priestesses, who in turn spread it to the rest of the Dreviavilas. With this new power, they were able to repel the Daemonic incursion of the Golden Forest.

Unfortunately, about a fifth of the Dreviavilas had been corrupted by the Gods of Chaos. Fortunately though, Drevphaea had not lost her presence in the souls of those who did not give up and actively resisted the taint of Chaos. She managed to force Chaos out of their souls, though she was unable of getting rid of their mutations. This effectively created a few Dreviavilan subspecies, because the mutations were inheritable.

Drevphaea then weaved new paths across the Immaterium and instructed her Arch Priestess, Zievanna to lead Wyld Hunts outside the Golden Forest in order to seek out and feast on the Daemonic servants of the Four.

Ever since then, the Dreviavilas have periodically left her realm in order to feast on the blood of Daemons and/or Psykers and take their Immaterial energies for themselves and through them for Drevphaea herself.

## Appearance

Her entire body is made of gold excluding her hair and eyelashes, which are white. The extreme length of the hair covers her breasts and the other intimate parts. Her eyes are golden like the body and she has pointy ears and two noticeably long shiny teeth that protrude over the others. The goddess has four arms as well and two of them are bigger and longer.

## Divine domains

Drevphaea is first and foremost the Goddess of **Warding** and **Protection** before the Birth of Slaanesh. She also holds the domains of **Nature**, **Healing**, the **Wild** and the **Hunt**. It is believed that the death of her father and the abduction of her mother during the Birth of Slaanesh allowed Drevphaea to grow in power with these domains. This is also believed to be why she has been much more proactive in place of being reactive since, instead of locking herself in within the Golden Forest.

## The Golden Forest

The Golden Forest is Drevphaea's Immaterial Realm. Like its name suggests, it takes the form of a massive golden forest, which is approximately 38,000kms wide (About the width of 3 Earths). In its center stands the Divanin Zaklon, a massive golden tree that is approximately 5500kms tall (Two thousand kilometers taller than the Moon is wide).

It is within this tree that Drevphaea can be found. On the roots and around Divanna's Fermament is the Dreviavilas' capital city. Massive stairs lead from the bottom of the city, to the tower which leads to Drevphaea's chambers.

Smaller, but still huge golden trees litter the forest, underneath which more major settlements stand. The forest is surrounded by the Sea of Souls, which ends at the Ripped Veil otherwise known as the Firmament, the wall that separates the forest from the Immaterium. Doorways were built in the ripped holes of the Veil, as well as bridges that lead to the forest.

Drevphaea weaved safe paths outside the forest, leading from the Doorways to many destinations, such as the Materium, the Webway or if one gets very lost, the Realms of the Chaos Gods.

## Notable Worshipers

### Zievanna the First of the Sacredblood

Zievanna is the oldest still living Dreviavila. She was born sometime before the Birth of Slaanesh. Before Slaanesh's birth, she was the Arch Priestess of Drevphaea. She was summoned by Drevphaea shortly, during the Daemonic invasion of the Golden Forest which was caused when Slaanesh's birth ripped the Veil separating it from the Immaterium.

It is unknown what exactly happened to her inside Divanna's firmament, but the myths say that Drevphaea gave Zeivanna a drop of her Golden Blood, empowering her and giving her the ability to drink the blood of the Daemonic invasion and gain power from it. Once Zivanna exited Divanna's firmament, she gave 32 bloods of her newly Golden Blood to the 32 Ancilarry Priestess, who then further spread the Golden Blood among the population of the Dreviavilas. This new gained power of the Blood allowed them to repel the Daemonic invasion and grow stronger from it.

Zievanna was at the forefront of every battle, feasting herself on the blood of the legions of Daemons, growing stronger with every battle.

In the aftermath of the Daemonic invasions and to today she still is the Arch Priestess of Drevphaea, being her greatest and most powerful champion. Zievanna purposefully strays deeper into the Immaterium during Wyld Hunts, leading her huntresses to the heart of Daemonic legions, where they feast upon their blood. These Wyld Hunts have greater losses than any other, but those who survive them grow much stronger from it than from any other Wyld Hunts. Being asked to join a Wyld Hunt led by Zievanna is often seen as the greatest praise a huntress can receive.
