Editing Wilden (section)

==Religion==
The wilden are not a particularly religious race; their affinity to nature gives them a sense of certainty and purpose that other races usually fill with religion. But, that does not mean they are against the idea of faith. Typically, wilden turn to the [[Primal Spirits]], the [[Archfey]] (especially those of the Green Fey faction), and to gods with a close tie to either nature or the [[fey]]; in the [[Dawn War]] pantheon, it is [[Corellon]], [[Melora]] and [[Sehanine]] who count the most wilden amongst their faithful.

Perhaps the closest thing to a "true" racial religion is the story of the Seedling Myth; the creation myth of the wilden. In short, this story tells of a mighty and beautiful tree, touched by the inscrutable magic of nature and the [[Feywild]]. Known as Dancer, this tree was a site of holy contemplation for the [[eladrin]] and other fey, who would sit and meditate before it, and find wisdom seeping into them as they contemplated the sway of its branches in the midnight winds off the Sea of Serenity. But an evil [[hag]] named Starngatha learned of Dancer, and unable to see the spiritual nature of the tree, became convinced that Dancer possessed a more concrete and mystical form of knowledge. Lusting for Dancer's wisdom, Starngatha destroyed Dancer's grove, hewing down all of her neighboring trees and burning them as part of a dark rite, before turning her magic on Dancer. When she could not coerce the tree to reveal any secrets, Starngatha flew into a rage and chopped it down. At that moment, Dancer's three seedlings quickened to life, called in equal parts by Starngatha’s magic, her senseless desecration of the grove, and the outrage and fear of the fleeing fey creatures that rippled away from where Dancer’s lonely stump remained. These three seedlings transformed into the first three wilden, each bearing one of the three aspects, enkindled by the legacy of their birth; one bore a hint of Dancer's guile, the other embodied the grove's wrath over Starngatha's senseless destruction, and the third yearned to hunt down all desecrators. They slew the hag, and went forth into the wilderness, the first of their kind, but by no means the last.
