The Hearthweave

The Hearthweave is the sacred tapestry of the Felden (halfling) people—a pantheon of small gods bound by kinship, cheer, and quiet strength. Unlike the grandeur of more martial or cosmic pantheons, the Hearthweave centers on the warmth of the home, the joy of a well-told story, the courage to endure, and the luck that carries folk through troubled times. Though each deity embodies a distinct thread—be it resilience, revelry, mischief, or death—they are woven together through shared love of community and hearth. These gods are deeply personal, often worshiped by households rather than kingdoms, and their divine power flows through song, tradition, and the steady rhythm of life well-lived. Some scholars claim they emerged from a forgotten world now lost to time, but to the Felden, the only origin that matters is the heart.

Bryndal, The Unyielding Pebble

(Lesser Power)

Cleric Domains: Faith, Earth

Patron of Resilience, Determination, and Inner Strength

Bryndal is the bedrock of Felden tenacity—a god of quiet defiance and quiet endurance. His name is invoked when the harvest fails, when loss knocks at the door, or when a journey stretches too long. Felden say he never shouts, never boasts, and never breaks. His strength is in standing firm, like a pebble in a rushing stream.


Cymbryn, Keeper of Hearthsongs

(Lesser Power)

Cleric Domains: Faith, Dream

Goddess of Storytelling, Music, and Legacy

Cymbryn weaves memory into melody and keeps the stories of the Felden alive in every tune hummed by firelight. Her faithful believe that as long as a tale is told, no soul is ever truly lost. Loresingers, musicians, and elders revere her as the gentle hand guiding voice and verse alike.


Dallamir Hearthshade, The Hearthkeeper

(Intermediate Power)

Cleric Domains: Faith, Balance

God of Community, Protection, and Abundance

Dallamir is the heart of the Felden hearth—a protector, a provider, and a guardian of kin and kindred. His presence is felt in warm kitchens, sturdy walls, and neighbors who lend tools without asking. His temples are gathering halls, and his rites are shared meals and long embraces.


Faelrick Lightfoot, The Wandering Spark

(Lesser Power)

Cleric Domains: Faith, Wanderer

God of Curiosity, Adventure, and Cleverness

Faelrick blesses the road not taken. A trickster with a lantern and a laugh, he watches over wanderers, scouts, and children with questions too big for the village square. His clergy travel light, speak quickly, and always have a map—or a story—close at hand.


Feyndra, The Glowing Whisper

(Lesser Power)

Cleric Domains: Faith, Sunrise

Goddess of Hearthfire, Renewal, and Quiet Courage

Feyndra’s flame never rages—it glows. She embodies the courage to begin again: the kindling of a new fire, the healing of grief, the soft vow whispered before dawn. Candlemakers and healers honor her, and her festivals mark the changing seasons with gentle light and reflection.


Ilyra Greenbriar, The Hearth’s Grace

(Intermediate Power)

Cleric Domains: Faith, Earth, Life

Goddess of Farming, Sustenance, and Fellowship

Ilyra walks the rows of planted fields and blesses the first loaves of every harvest. She is grace given freely—found in the sprout, the table set for ten, and the shared labor of growing things. Her faithful are planters, cooks, and stewards of the land.


Merridyn, The Radiant Reveler

(Lesser Power)

Cleric Domains: Faith, Passion

God of Celebration, Joy, and Hospitality

Merridyn’s laughter rings out at every Felden wedding, festival, and night of shared drink. He is joy made divine, the god of warmth that spreads from music, dance, and open doors. His priests are revelmasters and innkeepers, bringing cheer in his name wherever they go.


Thrindle, The Shadowed Hand

(Lesser Power)

Cleric Domains: Faith, Guile

God of Stealth, Cunning, and Mischief

Not every shadow hides malice—some hold mischief. Thrindle watches over tricksters, thieves, and all who slip through the cracks. He is the sly grin in the moonlight, the “missing” pie from a windowsill. Felden children leave offerings to him in secret, hoping for daring dreams and clever hands.


Vaylora, The Gentle Passage

(Lesser Power)

Cleric Domains: Faith, Reaper

Goddess of Death and Eternal Fellowship

Vaylora guides the spirits of the dead not away, but deeper—into halls of reunion, memory, and peace. She is the warmth in funerary toasts and the quiet hope that no parting is forever. Her priests comfort the grieving and tend ancestral groves where old names are whispered with love.


Veltryss, The Silent Guide

(Lesser Power)

Cleric Domains: Faith, Fortune

God of Luck, Opportunity, and Chance

Veltryss speaks not in signs, but in coincidences. He nudges dice, opens doors at the right moment, and closes them just in time. Gamblers pray to him, travelers follow his signs, and many a Felden believes that Veltryss once saved their neck—or helped them find their one true love.
