Elder sister and non-dryad members

There are no non-dryad members of Elder Sister

Change

Non-dryads of this cult have several options open to them. They may occasionally inherit a tree from a dryad who died in some way or another, thereby preserving the tree’s life. More often, though, they form a wandering priesthood that moves through the woods as the Spirit of Aldrya moves them. They go where they feel needed and are aptly named the Wandering Dryads.

to

Occasionally an aldryami may inherit a tree from a dryad who died in some way or another, thereby preserving the tree’s life. They may join the Elder Sister subcult automatically.

Benefits (last paragraph) Change to

Elder Sisters may receive allied spirits following the usual rules. They bind them into their home tree to guard it, and to serve as a source of communication if they leave. These dryads are highly mobile, and often form a wandering priesthood that moves through the woods as the Spirit of Aldrya moves them. They go where they feel needed and are aptly named the Wandering Dryads.

Axe Maidens receive a complete suit of enchanted copper armor and a copper axe from their temple. Their enchanting ritual adds 1 extra armor point to their armor and an extra 5 hit points to a weapon.

Enchanted copper armor can be hammered very thin and still retain some solidity. This reduces the armor’s defensive value by 1 point, but halves its ENC. Thus, a full suit of plate armor has 5 armor points and weighs 6 ENC.

• Detect Diamond (3 pt.), Detect Earthblood (2 pt.), Detect Firebone (2 pt.), 

Other large herd animals are never considered “cattle”, including horses, sheep, pigs, and goats. These animals are never associated with Eiritha.

Miscellaneous Notes, page 82.

We know Imther has a lot of pastoralism – more than the rest of Saird. Eiritha encompasses many herd animals – bison, cattle, high llamas, sable antelopes, impalas, rhinoceroses, zebras, and the like. Not horses, though. Goats could easily be one of Eiritha’s children in parts of eastern Peloria.

If goat herds are key for Imther pastoralism, then the Herd Mother is present.

You can cut and slice that how you want. I personally suspect that it has been Eiritha since the First Age.

Pamalt has many subcults, but all are regional. Some such as the Land Goddesses, stretch across a third of the continent.
