Cairith the Resolute is one of the five Amaranthine


associated with the Humblefolk races of the Humblewood Cairith
setting for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. A pair of white antlers wrapped in flowering

Cairith's purpose is difficult to explain, and on the surface

overlaps with both Hanera and Altus. At his core, Cairith is

the Amaranthine of vigor and strength, overseeing the Rangers, Diviners,
energy which is he cause of slow, steady growth and Paladins
longevity. In living beings, this force manifests as the
Favoured Weapon Unknown
ability to run, jump, grow, and become strong. Ancient
forests, where plants cover the trees and giant beasts are
endowed with the intelligence to speak, are seen as signs of Cairith’s blessing. Cairith teaches that adversity
brings strength, but his teachings differ from those of Altus. Altus encourages his followers to seek out
challenges, where Cairith sees life itself as a perpetual struggle. The true test of survival is always against
oneself and one’s own limits. By persevering in spite of these limits, Cairith counsels his adherents to triumph
over the forces of death. This struggle must one day end, of course, and so the followers of Cairith seek to honor
the daily triumphs of life as they happen. An existence is considered well-spent if it was lived unflinchingly,
even in the face of sorrows and hardships.

For this reason, similarly to Tyton, Cairith has a deep philosophical opposition to necromancers and the undead,
arguing that such beings truly cannot appreciate life's struggles.

Amongst those who pray to the Amaranthine of the humblefolk, Cairith is quite popular. His dogma of growth,
strength and vigor appeals to community leaders and healers, whilst druids and rangers focus on his promotion
of the forest. Paladins invoke his dogma to give heart to those they defend. As the patron of the Sight, the
mystical ability to see into the future, he is regarded as something of a patron for all diviners. Finally, just as
Altus is called upon by any birdfolk who is suffering and wishes for the strength to perservere, so too do the
humblefolk call upon Cairith for that same purpose.

Depictions
Cairith is envisioned as a massive, non-anthropomorphic stag whose mighty antlers are covered in moss and
flowering vines, which flow down onto his mane and shoulders, and whose hooves cause plants to sprout from
the earth wherever he walks. Where others see a tangle of vegetation, Cairith sees the plan of nature unfolding.
Dogma
The way of nature is growth. Let nothing stifle you, and you will flourish.
