Why is the Green God, Lord of Leaf and Tendril, called 'Frith-God,' god of peace?
Not hard.
In days before the White Flag came to denote cessation of hostilities, truce, and peaceful negotiation, the Green Branch bore these meanings, and its bearers.
The wielders of the Green Branch bear no weapon, but the sign of life and growth.
Indeed, they bear the sign of the strong God Who Makes War on None, yet in the end wins nonetheless, through patience and persistence.
This, then, is why, among the Old Ones, it is He the Lord of Vegetation who is counted god of peace.
And in His Name, and with His Sign, I bless you.
