'''Ordana''' is the patron Immortal of forests, and the creator of [[Elves]] in the [[D&D]] setting of [[Mystara]].

==History==
Most believe that Ordana was once an elf, from their ancient homeland of Evergrun, and the first to achieve Immortality in the Sphere of Time. In reality, Ordana was once a [[treant]], and remains the only one to have achieved Immortality, long before elves, [[human]]s, or [[demihuman]]s walked the world. She's unsure as to who her sponsor was, though [[Khoronus]] believes he may have had something to do with her.

She, alongside [[Ka the Preserver|Ka]], [[Ixion]], and [[Korotiku]], helped shape the [[Hollow World]], creating the weather patterns, lakes, rivers, oceans, annual natural events, as well as placing the floating continents to help in tracking time.

She created the elves to protect and befriend the forests she loved, and taught them the philosophy of ''Dainrouw'', the Forest Way. She also sheltered them in a literal paradise, eventually driving them out to seek their own fate in the world. Eventually, when the elves came across the [[Blackmoor]] civilization, they largely abandoned the Dainrouw, making Ordana turn her back to her creations, and wait for them to return her philosophy, which eventually bore fruit, as the then-mortal [[Ilsundal]] led the ''back to the forest'' movement amongst the elves after the ''Great Rain of Fire'' destroyed Blackmoor. She subtly helped Ilsundal and his followers, eventually becoming the patron of the elves that settled in the Minrothad Islands. Outside them, most other elves have started worshipping either Ilsundal or [[Mealiden Starwatcher]], though some remember her by the name of ''Thendara''.

==Appearance==
Ordana's appearance depends on who she manifests as.
*As ''Mother Forest'' or ''Uí'' she appears as a great oak treant.
*As ''Thendara'' or ''Tawnia'' she appears as a beautiful female elf with green skin and flowing hair, clad in the clothes of a woodsman.
*As ''Ordana'' or ''Breig'' she appears as a [[dryad]] with emerald green hair and eyes, clad in a tunic made from leaves of different trees.

==Personality==
Ordana is akin to a force of nature, identifying with the forests first, then with the creatures living in them. She's friendly towards treants, most elves, and the sylvan creatures who don't follow Immortals of entropy, despising them alongside those who cut or burn down forests. She's allied with the elven Immortals [[Calitha Starbrow]], Ilsundal, and Mealiden, she also appreciates [[Zirchev]]. She's also in good relations with Ka and Korotiku. She has a great dislike towards Immortals associated with fire like [[Rathanos]], and Ixion, and opposes the entropic Immortals.

In Blackmoor, the setting, Ordana is still the creator of elves and the leader of their pantheon. She seeks to have them become powerful and knowledgeable through friendship and alliance with the other races.

==Appearance==
Ordana appears as an elven matron, who is beginning to show signs of age. Sometimes she's pregnant as well.

==Worshippers==
Ordana is worhipped differently among the Cumasti and Westryn elves. The Cumasti hold her in high regard, taking her goals to heart and seek to heal the rift between the two elven nations. The Cumasti [[cleric]]s act as ambassadors and mediators, seeking to find a peaceful way, with violence being the last resort. The Westryn elves do call on her about matters of birth, death, and ceremony, but feel that she is leading elves down the wrong direction. To them, the reason evil is flourishing is because of other races with their devotion to discord and predispostion to weakness, with the only sensible option being to separate themselves from the other races and live isolated in their forests.
