The Hawk

From RPGwiki

The Hawk is the god of hunting, war and flight, and as such is the patron deity of diverse groups such as soldiers, commercial pilots, and some animal conservationists (as he represents hunting for food and vital resources, not for pleasure or for commercial gain). He is seen as a grim, warrior figure who is seen as stern but fair. He is one of the oldest known gods and hawk tokens have been found amongst the oldest plains dwelling inhabitants of the Fourth World. He is also unusual in the spread of his worship. He is popular on all known continents and amongst all races, although elements of the upper command in Kalchichi (and some other nations) look with disfavour on him. Hawk worship encourages a feeling of camaraderie between soldiers of different nations and this is not looked on too favourably.

The Hawk is the father of Onstwin, the god of music, philosophy, expanding the mind and peace. Despite their apparently contradictory philosophies the father and son are still close and the two priesthoods are on remarkably close terms (helped by the fact the Hawk only favours wars of defence and condemns wars of aggression). Differences between them are usually resolved by debate, rather than action.
