Delinari Lore Info:
In the beginning, Mother Owl spread her wings to blanket the sky with stars. Father Stag walked the earth, his antlers growing flowers, and his steps bringing forth grass wherever there was none.
Brother Bear upheld time and earth. He was never at odds with the Father or Mother, but a voice of reason when the two would argue.
From Father, Mother and Brother, children of the earth were born. Delicate creatures. Some of these creatures begot their own powers.

The seasons were heralded by all as they predicated the flourishing of plants and the animals. These, too, were represented by the most benevolent of deities. They were direct offspring of Father Stag, and he trusted them completely. These deities represented multiple aspects of nature and creation and took on many aspects.
They then had more children, and soon the Delinari could be found in all forests on all areas of the earth.
All Delinari consist of at least two animals, a flower, and a season in which they prefer. The only exception to this is the Father, Mother and Brother. They are the One and encompass all that in which the Delinari are.

Their Deities are as follows: (these are already adopted.)
Mother Owl - Represents the Stars (represents the night time and cosmos) (Gemstone is Lapis)
Father Stag - Represents Earth (Gemstone is Amazonite)
Brother Bear - Represents Time and Foundation of the Earth (Gemstone is Goethite)



Seasonal Deities-
 ravindra - Fall/ Earth and Hearth (Gemstone is Amethyst)
 hashire - Spring/ Air and Love (Gemstone is diamond)
 wolfina_2007 - Summer/ Fire and Sun (Gemstone is Labradorite)
Akamu - Winter/ Water and Moon (Gemstone is Moonstone)



Anyone creating a Delinari _cannot_ be a deity/God. You can have powers related to flowers/fauna, but that's it. These are the Delinari requirements:
- Two woodland or forest area creatures (any two, like snake/bird or deer/racoon)
-One Flower or Tree (one or the other, not both)
- A Season in which the flourish better in
- Can choose a gemstone, but generally those are only associated with the deities
- 4 Forms: Anthro, Taur, Feral and Plant
- Delinari flourish when they come in contact with others bodily fluids (IE: Semen or female moistness :3 _NOT_ urine)

Note on Delinari Life:
Regular (non-deity) Delinari live in an enchant wood called "Tha'run Dai". The forest is like "Narnia" in that it can be accessed through magic portals from the real world. Parts of the forest reflect certain parts of the world, or can.

Delinari Customs:
Delinari run in packs or on their own. Packs are determined by the type of flower/tree that they turn into. Within the Pack there is an Alpha and Omega. Alpha runs the pack, and the Omega is considered the priest/priestess who communes with the Gods to give them information and report in. This also allows the deities to communicate to them what the Alpha may need to do.

Delinari can and will be on their own if they want/ need.

What makes them a species?
Besides the mixed animal + flower combo, all Delinari have the ability to summon their own private grotto. This is accessed by a magical door that can only be made by their specific flower. Say two Delinari had the same flower and one entered, they would be in their grotto. If the other entered, they would be in their grotto, completely separate. To avoid confusion, Delinari can enter into others private grotto's if they are given a flower/leaf of the Delinari inviting them. These grotto's are stationary to a specific part of the enchanted forest, but can only be accessed by magic. Consider this forest multiple layers of reality, and the Delinari have a special doorway to their own private place.

- This is an open race, however, I will be doing customs/commissions for these if you're interested!
