How can a nature god who is not the oak themselves take action against a non-clergy member? The most they can do is not grant spells that they're already not granting, and we here at layo have had the concept etched into our skulls that gods do not take active part in the lives of mortal. No mortal will ever speak to, meet or dance with their god, so it stands to reason that any wrath beyond refusal of spells is forbidden as well. It was my understanding that other than the granting or denial of spells, gods are forbidden or unable or unwilling to take action in the mortal realm.
I think in the case of Nyea and Rose, perhaps Rose's diety might be upset with her, and perhaps Nyea's with him... but only Rose has to worry. Kitharian just has to sit there and cry about it for lack of better option, since Nyea's spells do not come from him. He has to worry about being a good druid, not a good Kitharian.
I admit that it is a strange and unique task, seperating the druid from the nature priest. In many ways, hardcore druids are more like katia than many Katians; I doubt she worshipped any god before her ascension. It's an odd choice, to follow in the footsteps of you god, or to follow their word. So who makes the better Katian, the katian priest who follows her word, or the environmentalist druid who does as she did in life? whew... that's a strange bit of zen there...
