A very minor NG God, probably nameless and unknown amongst most men, but perhaps worshipped by some solitary druid/monks and/or the undying elves.What about a Goddess of flowers and pollinating insects? Honey as the ritual food.Father of the river, taking the form of the water dragon and cavorting along the rapids of a particularly large and vital river. He protects those who live off the river, as long as they take only a little and do not pollute his body.And to finish off, a spooky one:Whisper, the protective God of dead children. When a small child dies, before tasting adolescence, Whisper protects them in their long journey through the river styx, making sure that their fragile souls reach Heaven. Some say he is a once-fallen angel who has repented, but can never reenter Heaven. Others that he himself was a powerful God once who lost his only child. His misery destroyed him, and he shrank from the world, only to return as Whisper. Sometimes, when a child dies, whisper appears to the grieving parents in their dreams. A shrivelled, mute male of ancient years, stooped and gnarled, he stretches out his clenched hand and reveals to the parents one last, precious glimpse of their child as they enter the gates of Heaven.</blockquote>
