Silvanus, along with [[Oghma]] is an interloper deity, recognised on many worlds under many different guises. ''(Both of them likely originating from the RL Celtic pantheon, where Silvanus is known as Sucellos)''. In Faerûn his portfolio used to belong to [[Chauntea]], but as time went on and after Netheril fell, Chauntea became more associated with agriculture than nature and so lost parts of her portfolio to Silvanus. 

He is served by several deities of nature, most notably [[Mielikki]], goddess of good woodland creatures, which points to some very close analogous between [[Obad-Hai]] and [[Ehlonna]] from the [[Greyhawk]] setting, that they may very well be the same deities just under different names.

Silvanus is one of those old, dawn of time deities along with Chauntea and [[Lathander]] who exist to administer to fundamental forces of the universe and have always been greater deities, rather than having risen up from lower ranks of godhood or mortality.

As such, he is typically detached from events in the world, preferring to get involved where his portfolio says so and little else.

However, he is not without ideology; though he has an off/on relationship with the Earthmother Chauntea, goddess of agriculture, domestic animals and gardens, Silvanus believes that you shouldn't fuck with nature and opposes any attempt to tame the wilderness, taking a particular dislike to people who use fire and anyone whose profession is "woodcutter".
