God Name:
Panio
Title:
God of the Wilds and Desire; Lord of the Wilds; The Seducer
Gender:
Panio typically takes the form of a male, but he is known to appear as a woman from time to time.
Alignment:
Chaotic Good
God Appearance:
Panio has aged and now appears as a strapping dark-haired youth. Small horns protrude from his head and a short beard rests on his chin. His ears are pointed, much like the Fae, and clothes of any sort rarely burden his body. His green eyes flicker with mischief and they have a childlike gleam.
Personality:
Anyone who has heard of Panio, knows he is a simple god. Rarely serious, he enjoys relaxing and parties. As the god of Desire, Panio can be very persistant when he sees something that he wants. He often seduces maidens (or the occasional young man) who stray near his forests. He takes great pride in being the Lord of the Wilds and sends most of his time wandering all places untouched by man. Like his followers, Panio is very protective of his lands and will always rise to protect them. He is also very immature and tempermental, often described as bipolor by other gods. No one is completely safe when Panio is in a foul mood.
Opinion of mortals:
"Mortals make very good company. They know how to let loose and have alittle fun."
God’s Domain:
Panio's realm, known as Faerus is a vast forest, with large, ancient trees and various plants. Streams and rivers flow randomly across the forest floor. Many strange and fantastic animals and spirits make their home in Panio's forest. At the very center of the realm, there is a large throne made of wood and leaves sitting upon a misty lake, where the god sits and rests when he's not frolicking with mortals. To the north of the forest, there is a frozen tundra, where snow eternally falls.
Avatar Name:
Warlik Hag's Son
Personality:
Warlik is an unusual choice for Panio's avatar. Like the god, he loves to have fun and drink, but that's where the similarities between the two end. The avatar is very mature for his young age and he is motivated to do what is best for the followers of Panio. He is kind, yet he is willing to do anything for the greater good of his people. Walik is also very clever and often outwits those he cannot outfight.
Magic Abilities:
As one of the few male hags in history, Warlik is a very powerful spellcaster. He specializes in elemental magic and conjuring various spirits and creatures to fight for him. Like all hags, Warlik's can fly on a magic broomstick and he can transform into a hag form, in which his eyes become cat-like and his teeth sharpen into dangerous fangs. He's also supernaturally fast, even for a hag. Warlik also has to consume the energy of others to survive.
Hero(es):
Kilara Eyesnatcher
Rank/Reason:
Leader of the Black Forest Coven, Kilara has proven herself to be a very powerful force among the hags. She is also the mastermind behind the revolting hags throughout the land.
Personality:
Sadistic and calculating, Kilara will stop at no end to see that one day, hags will rule the world. Though extremely cruel and apathetic towards anyone who isn't a hag, Kilara can come off as very charming and charismatic. She has a burning hate against other races, mainly against humans. It's thought that her entire family and coven was killed by humans when she was a girl. Her intelligence and manipulative nature have served her well throughout the years, as well as her sisters of the Black Forest Coven:
-Irisa Sandspell
-Phiena Charredflesh
-Masia Seahag
-Eve Hollow
-Kyra Frostbite
-Freya Greenwitch
Hero(es):
King Puck
Rank/Reason:
Puck is the king of the Fae and protects his crown with not only his strong swordsmanship and spells, but with his quick wit and charismatic leadership.
Personality:
A very charming individual, Puck is very much like Panio. A lover of good times, wine, and seduction, Puck has throne some of the most famous feasts and festivals in history. He knows how to flatter anyone and he is an excellent speaker, finding a way into the heart of almost anyone who hears him. But make no mistake, Puck is a warrior. Whenever the Fae army is on the move, he is always leading the charge, along with his queen, Maeve and their generals and advisors, the Seelie Knights:
-Ladaro the Wise
-Syena Lastbreath
-Elith Fireblade
-Opus the Seer
-Serraph Onehorn
-Katrina Bloodhair
Hero(es):
Lupis Whitecoat
Rank/Reason:
Lupis is Alpha of the Pack of Panio, a nomatic tribe of haf-beasts that wander the lands, never settling in one place for too long. He is also the oldest leader of any of the half-beast tribes, making him the authority whenever the tribes meet.
Personality:
Wise and strong-willed, Lupis has learned over many years how cruel the world can be. He is a forgiving soul, however and he gives everyone he meets the benefit of the doubt. The Alpha believes that no one should be judged by their appearance or their race, though his feelings aren't always shared by his fellow half-beasts. Though, if one betrays his trust, or proves themselves an enemy of his pack, Lupis will tear through them with a strength that hasn't worn since his prime. He has earned the respect of several other noticable half-beast tribe leaders:
-Enya Stouthoof
-Tai Redpaw
-Felen Sabertooth
-Avia Swiftwings
Hero(es):
The Witchmother
Rank/Reason:
The Witchmother is thought to be the oldest and most powerful hag in the land. She was once seen as the closest thing to a leader the hags had, but with the revolt that's beginning, she's been losing followers.
Personality:
The Witchmother has been in the world for many years. She has done many things, some she regret, others she doesn't. She is wise and ancient, yet she prefers to not get involved with activities that go on outside of the Enchanted Forest. Contrary to popular belief, the Witchmother is very peaceful and dislikes violence of any sort. She will only fight if it's absolutely necessary and the hag revolt is very concerning to her.
Terrain Preference:
Though most of Panio's followers are nomads and travel throughout the land, the Enchanted Forest, also known as the Black Forest, is considered their Holy Land and safe haven. The forest is rich with magical herbs, plants, and animals, as well as other very rare natural resources, such as precious metal and stones.
Name of Kingdom/Empire:
Panio's followers don't go by one collective name, but many call them Panians.
Capital:
The Enchanted Forest/ The Black Forest
Major Cities:
None
Society:

Faeries
They say that when Panio first laughed, he created the first faery to ever exist. Faeries tend to beautiful creatures, with pointed ears, slender frames, and colorful hair and eyes. Aside from these traits, faeries vary widely in appearance, which is often a reflection of the climate they come from. A faery with gills and fins is most likely from a lake or river, while a faery with green hair and branches sticking out of their back probably lives in trees. They are well known as magicians and tricksters, but many fae are also great warriors. Faeries are notoriously mischievious creatures and the majority of them are neither good nor evil. The faeries have quite a few strange weaknesses. They have a severe allergy to iron, which burns their skin and kills them instantly if it enters their bloodstream. They also cannot break an agreement if they swear to it. Faery names are also very important and if one knows a faery's full name, the faery is magically inclined to do whatever they command. Milk and creme has intoxicating effects on faeries.
Half-Beasts
Half-beasts are products of Panio's boredom. Basically, they are any human-animal hybrid. They tend to live in nomadic tribes that move across the land. They tend to never stay in one place too long. They are typically peaceful, but legends of vicious werewolves and beasts usually cause humans to feel uneasy around the Half-beasts. There are some groups of aggressive half-beasts that dig up corpses and eat villagers who stray from home. Half-beasts usually keep to themselves and try not to bother other races.
Hags
Panio must have been in a foul mood on the day he made the hags. They are a race on the outskirts of society, often hunted and killed by those who fear them. They appear as normal women, even beautiful in some cases, but when provoked they transform into hideous versions of their former selves, often with sickly pale skin, cat-like eyes, and a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. They are powerful spell casters and very agile and fast creatures. Despite their abilities, hags age extremely fast. In order to keep herself young and strong, a hag must consume the lifeforce of another being. Most peaceful hags feed off the energy of others, which has less chance of killing the source, yet it doesn't provide the same benefits as killing the host would. Also, eating the actual flesh of other beings provides more potent energy. This leads many hags to eat humans or other sentinel beings, children being the favorite of many. Despite this, the majority of hags are not violent and wish to live in peace. A hag's main mode of transportation is her magic broom, which allows her to fly across the skies.
