Lupus | Lupus is one of the [[Elder Gods]] created by Ayar at the beginning of time. Lupus represents the wild, beating heart of nature in its creatures and those who hunt them and so He is also called the Wildfather. The animalistic essence of Lupus pervades but also transcends the savagery of the wilderness, permeating the ritualistic culture of the Hunt. From the enchanting song of Lupine offering to the bibulous escapades of celebrating hunters to the wondrous depths of Tomaculan tapestry-making; it is also here, in the refinement of mortal religion the Spirit of Lupus dwells, allowing those worthy of His blessing to be lost in the hypnotic pleasures of the Hunt. | ||
