Lord of the Hunt. The Sacrificial Deer. The Horned One.

A divine of the Seventh Circle, Charune's domain consists of the hunted, the wild beasts who elude predators and gather in herds, who offer their life in sacrifice that the cycle might continue. The continuation of this cycle is a necessary and sacred rite, and the Hunt is the act which enacts it. Of His own, He confers the duty of respect and reverence for the hunted, the mercy of a quick kill and the honour owed to one who gave its life up for the next meal.

He harbours a great distaste both for the Taint and for the cities, viewing paved roads and stone buildings as an attempt to distance oneself from the natural world. However, he does hold a modicum of respect for elemental mages, noting their mastery of the natural elements.

Charune's greatest two creations are the White Hart, the collective soul of all stags and deer, and Old Man Bull, the collective soul of all bovine. Amongst his other creations are deer, elk, moose, cows, bison, buffalos, and many others.

Description

He is a radiant immortal and stands upon four hooved, muscular legs, His lower body the form of a horse. Sleek brown hair covers the entirety of His lower body, well-groomed and abnormally unmarred by discolouration or distinctive marks. A tail of long, silky black hair trails behind Him, swishing to and fro absently behind His frame. From the waist up, He bears a humanoid form, chiselled muscles and bronzed skin ending at lumbering shoulders and powerful arms, marred by several small scars and blemishes throughout His form. His angular face hides partially behind a long, pointed black beard. Brilliant emerald eyes rest behind aged lids, hiding beneath strands of a flowing mane of sleek black hair. An aura of powerful immanidivinus energy radiates from His very being, churning and tumultuous around Him.
