Obad-Hai (OH-bahd HI) is an ancient Wearth nature Power, whose worship has spread throughout the world. He is a lover of wilderness and nature, a patron of druids, and a friend to those who live in harmony with their natural surroundings. Because of his neutrality, there is enmity between him and Ehlonna of the Forests. He is most revered by druids who live in very wild places; those of barbarian and other under populated lands. Obad-Hai is represented as a lean, weathered man of considerable age, as if a hermit, pilgrim, or simple rustic. He can also appear as a dwarf or halfling and has worshippers among those folk; he is also represented in the form of woodland creatures of diverse kinds. Shrines to Obad-Hai are usually wooden structures found in rustic settings. Services to him involve the construction of living flowers, earth, water, and fire.

One should live in harmony with nature in all its variety. Those who destroy or otherwise harm nature deserve swift vengenance in an appropriate manner. Those who are one with nature have little to fear, although the well-meaning but foolish are sometimes brought down by a danger they could not avoid or divert. The wilds can be ugly, dangerous, or terrible, but these things are part of nature and should be respected as much as those that are beautiful, harmless, or wonderful.

Most of Obad-Hai's clerics are male, whether human, halfling, or fey. Most tend to get along well with rangers and druids. They serve as protectors of nature, acting as the agents of retribution when their protection is insufficient or too late. They teach hunting in the way that nature's creatures do (choosing the weakest of the herd, etc.)
