Pure Ones
From Snowblossom
Servants of Mother Dawn, the Pure Ones are nature spirits that take the form of powerful, large animals. There are a great number of Pure Ones, but there are only a few who are worshipped widely as deities. The remainder, whose names are only generally known by a few druids and rangers, are given praise, but are generally believed to serve the others.
The Pure Ones are the ancient guardians of Mother Dawn. Many of them died in her service during the war against the devils. Many who survived were weakened. Some have adversarial relationships with the gods and other spirits, feeling that they do Mother Dawn a disservice.
Most of the Pure Ones are believed to live somewhere in the Pure Lands.
