Also called the Great Mother, the Goddess, She-Who-Provides, the Earth Mother
The wild earth has a face, and the village remembers it as Danu — the Great Mother, the Goddess, She-Who-Provides, one of the four main gods of Stonetop. She holds the earth itself, the wild beasts, the green growing things, and the cycles that bind them. White elder trees are sacred to her, and The Forest Folk are said to have known her under another face.
Worship
Danu has a shrine in Stonetop's pavilion of the gods, but her truer holy places stand in the wilds: menhirs atop high places, springs, sacred groves, and the quiet altars tended by midwives, herbalists, and hunters. Her Blessed are the practitioners of these old crafts — initiates of a formal order, a respected elder and their apprentices, or an outsider set apart from the community. If The Blessed sits at the table, they almost certainly fill this role for Stonetop.
Perversions of nature
Danu's Grasp (the Blessed's signature move) and the Ranger's Warden of the Wild both bite hardest against "perversions of nature" — The Things Below and their thralls, undead, and the more extreme creations of The Green Lords. Ask the Blessed or Ranger what they would count, then make a ruling.
Hooks
Lean on Danu when the wild stirs against the village: a sacred site fouled by something below, a brennauwed asking what was promised, a curse upon someone who put iron where it had no business going. Communities differ on how to read her — nurturing mother, inscrutable force, hungry mother-of-monsters — and that reading tells you how the village treats her shrine.
