Florinse, our Goddess of Nature, the Seasons, and Beauty. She helped Omegallus and Titus construct the world we know as Harkon. When you look around and see the trees, the flowers and flora and even the mountains, those are all examples of Florinse's creation. When the Gods and Goddesses finished their creation of Harkon, they initially interacted with the people, seeking friendships and recreation. However at the end of the War to Pierce Heaven, the Gods and Goddesses all agreed to never intervene with the mortals of Harkon, unless absolutely necessary. The agreement was set, the mortals get free will, and the Gods and Goddesses observe. However Florinse and her well perceived "Circle of Life" lifestyle would gain many followers, eventually creating churches of Florinse all over Harkon. Florinse would go on to be one of the main Gods/Goddesses, alongside Omegallus, and Titus.

As followers of Florinse, we are expected to live in her grand "Circle of Life." The circle of life is our ideology that each being (animals, insects, humanoids, monsters, etc.) all contribute to a circle of life. Each creature has their own circle of life, theirs comes to an end when they're needed by another creature. When man needs wood for a house to keep their family warm, the tree is cut down to fill the needs of man, therefore the tree fulfils its circle of life by contributing to someone else's circle. 

"Good things come to those that wait, everyone has a purpose in the Grand Circle of Life, there is always a time, and a place child." ~ Florinse.

As followers of Florinse, we walk in our Circle of Life as well as contribute to the Grand Circle of Life. It is not our duty to forcefully convert others to the Circle of Life. Allow those that don't believe in the Circle to discover and study it themselves. Do not force upon others, for that will spoil the beautiful image of Florinse.

(DM Note: This next page will be a synopsis of what followers of Florinse believe in or stand with)

Florinse followers believe in needed to hunt, fish, and chop down trees. It is those things fulfilling their Circle of Life, while contributing to someone else's. However we should still leave some of Florinse's beauty for all to see, and strive to replant trees, and allow game/fish populations to re-grow.

Florinse followers don't believe in murder, but do believe in the right to defend oneself, others, or ones family. There is no reason to pre-maturely end someone else's Circle of Life, if it is avoidable.

Florinse followers are indifferent to alcohol consumption. As long as it doesn't end yours or someone else's Circle pre-maturely.

Florinse followers are okay with SOME drug use. Florinse created some plant-life and red sand to provide enjoyment and recreation. But, these drugs must come from Florinse's creations. Drugs made not from Florinse's creation are not allowed.

Florinse followers believe in love for all. Meaning race, and gender should not matter in love, the only thing that should is age. (Florinse is NOT okay with pedophilia)

Florinse understands the need for war, but wishes peace, if not peace, then coexistence. War should only be a last resort in the Grand Circle of Life. 

After "The War to Pierce Heaven" The loyal Gods/Goddesses were left in disarray. Florinse, the Goddess of Nature, Seasons, and Beauty. Lost her lover, Raine, the Goddess of Insanity, Psyche, and Instability. Florinse thought she could turn Raine back, but ultimately failed and Raine started the civil war among the other Gods/Goddesses. Raine was banished to suffer in her own realm. Florinse, still feeling the grief of losing Raine and the war itself, decided to create a realm of unimaginable beauty. She would create the ultimate plane of exotic, colorful, enchanted beauty. Some call this plane "The Feywild." Florinse spent weeks to create her vision. She imagined colors that no mortal being could see, imagined an enchanted plane teeming with life. Eventually when her work was done. The plane was separated into seasons. Autumn, Winter, Summer, and Spring. Each of these seasons having their own unique attributes and life. After Florinse had finished, she populated the Feywild with all kinds of unique life. She decided she would leave the Feywild be, she would let the people of the Fey decide for themselves what to do. Before she left however, she left four entrances to the material plane. One in each season to be exact. She would leave behind clues on how to access the portals. After her creation was complete, she rejoined the other Gods and Goddesses to help recover after the War to Pierce Heaven.

It was said that Florinse had a relationship with another Goddess. This Goddess was Raine, the Goddess of Insanity, Psyche, and Jealousy. They loved each other very dearly. But Raine was descending into madness. When Florinse noticed, it was far too late. Raine had gathered other Gods and Goddesses to fight Omegallus. Raine begged Florinse to join her, but as much as it hurt Florinse, she knew she couldn't. To join Raine would be to go down a dark path, a path Florinse couldn't follow. One that would lead Harkon and its people to be forced into a life of slavery. Florinse refused, this caused Raine to lash out and allmost kill Florinse, but Raine couldn't. When Raine looked at Florinse all she could see was her partner, her lover. That was enough time for Omegallus and Titus to rescue Florinse.

While the War to Pierce Heaven raged on. Omegallus had a special task for Florinse, one that would shake her to the core. Omegallus wanted Florinse to construct a realm to banish Raine to, one that would make sure she would stay locked up for good.
