Overview

Depiction

The god of the hunt is depicted in green hunter's garb, with a longbow and quiver. He has also been known to appear as a wolf, or a coyote in the Southern lands. In many legends, Tiranon is sent out by Nen to catch the fleeing unjust. Tiranon is consort to Sarana.

Theology and Practice

Tiranon's popularity is stronger in the countryside and forests than in the cities. Accordingly, his church is small and generally rural.

In order to aid their tracking, many military scouts call upon Tiranon rather the more battlefield-oriented Rannash.

Tiranonian clergy are more often male than female. Most Tiranonians are good-natured hunters, killing not for sport but for food, and remaining somewhat frugal (poverty is common). However, a small number emphasize are more bloodthirsty (the "Red Hunters"), hunting for the thrill, hunting for its own sake. Most Tiranonians carry a bow.
