Virodas

Virodas (also often referred to as the Green Man) was a Prime Deity of the Nibirian Pantheon. Also known as the Gift Bearer and Father Nature, his portfolio included rebirth, renewal, and regeneration. Direct worship of Virodas was relatively uncommon, however veneration and imagery of him was highly commonplace to a point where most don't realize it was specifically virodas some art or story was referencing. Those who did worship Virodas were known as Verdants, Versages, or Green Priests.

Description
Virodas is nearly always depicted as the face of a man either made out of plants or emerging from plants. Another common feature are plants ground from his mouth and wrapping around the surrounding area. There are few full-body depictions of Vriodas. Some depict little more than a large walking bush with a green face at the upper-center of it, while others depict an almost dryad-like man with an exposed human heart sitting in his bark-like chest.

Mythos
Virodas was one of the few Prime Deities. He existed solely on the Material Plane and the Beastlands of the Far Reaches. Worshipers of Virodas usually practiced their beliefs out and openly, but not in ways recognizable as religious worship. Many stories and traditions that permeated the various cultures of Nibiru stem from religious practices of Virodas. As a result, many worshipers were traveling storytellers or soothsayers that spoke his good word through well known stories or evocative imagery that all stem from that of Virodas. Stories of great green giants that roam the land, of generous men in green that give to the poor, of babbling brooks that allow for life in an otherwise unforgiving dark forest.

However, worshipers of Virodas often did not proselytize so openly, and keep their faith quiet. This made their order largely a secret. For large chunks of history, the Green Priests are all but forgotten about. Until they inevitably emerge at times of great change, and spread worship of him like wildfire.

Realm
Virodas existed primarily within the Material Plane itself and the Beastlands of the Far Reaches. Worshipers of Virodas either ended up becoming forest spirits that help heal Nibiru or becoming one with the inhabitants of the beastlands. The most devout often became spirit guides for other green priests.
