Åne is an extremely meddelsome and active lesser Goddess, as one of the stewardessess of the Swanmays her magic is put to use to and promote nature as a force of balance, protection, and as your stewardship. Åne is all forgiving, all she ask is that you stop destroying nature and instead care for it. Hunt her game, eat her fish, gather fruits and berries but always do this in reverence and with balance, give back for all you take. To be evil is just as bad as being good if nature is caught in the crossfire.

The Church Swanmays of Åne LG, NG, CG, LN, N, CN, NE, LE, CE any Swanmay,

Dogma: Swanmay nature itself in all its form, natural growth, wildlife, fishing, hunting and gathering, weather, wind, lighting.

Day-to-Day Activities: Swanmays of Åne generally spend their time in nature. They maintain contact with other swanmays, gathering regularly to exchange news and information, and they time their patrols so they meet up with another swanmay at specific times and places. When a swanmay fails to show up, searches are quickly organized to find the individual and discover the reason for her absence. To protect all under their care. Proper rite of reincarnation. Like their Goddess all Swanmays of Åne are to be forgiving of all, and to remind them that nature comes first.

Important Ceremonies/Holy Days: The Day of Tokening, each Swanmay will always celebrate the day of becomming, no other holidays or ceremonies are required.

Major Centers of Worship: Any place of natural beauty.

Priestly Vestments: Those follow Åne usually wear practical clothing for their environment, favoring leathers or robes of simple natural fibres, as well as comfortable boots, nothing flashy. They keep their hair clean in whatever style they prefer. Black and White feathers also feature prominently, usually in the form of a garland, skullcap, or a pauldron or epaulet like garment. Some prefer a feathered shawl or dress instead. The holy symbol used by the faith is the swanmay’s feather token which is a spotted swan feather attached to a hemp thread.

Adventuring Garb: Swanmays dress practically when in the field and in similar manner to their more formal garb, but with a greater emphasis on colors that blend in with the environment. They favor garments that allow ease of movement, and only rarely wear heavy armor.

Some of Priss's specialty priests are druids. Their abilities and restrictions, aside from changes noted above and below, are detailed in full in the Player’s Handbook.

• Swanmays of Åne must be swanmay humans.
• At 3rd level, Swanmays of Åne can cast Create Clouds (as the 3rd level priest spell) once per day. They gain an additional casting of this spell for every three levels gained above 3rd (so twice at 6th level, three times at 9th, etc.).
• At 10th level, a Swanmay of Åne can craft a new feather token for another swanmay. This crafting takes a full month, during which the swanmay must pray and chant over the object. Generally, this process requires a small amount of scorched blood from the individual the token is made for, and the individual must gather ingredients for the device. Each token is made for a specific individual and cannot be used by another, and the swanmay may not make one for themself.
