This Deity used to be worshipped by many but, as time went on, his less devout followers, went on to worship other Deity's. He is mainly seen as a wise and powerful Deity. He is said to take the souls of pure-hearted and good people who have passed, and judge all of their actions in life, in order to decide and guide these souls to a good aligned plane of existence.
The deity is said to reside in a oriental palace, built on a large piece of land that floats through the astral plane, like a raft in a weak current. The palace he lives in is full of traps to ensnare those who wish to visit him with ill intent. The land itself has vibrant green grass and deep blue rivers and falls. All the while the stars sparkle in the sky and constantly change due to the lands movement.
The deity himself can appear as a black furred wolf, with silver highlights and purple eyes.However, if necessary he will take on the form of a lithe, athletic and tall male. He usually has nothing covering his top half while wearing what looks like the bottom half of a monks robe, with nothing on his feet. He usually has jet-black hair with silver highlights and blue eyes. In art he is represented in many ways depending on the type. For example, in paintings he is shown as a side profile of a wolf howling, with a moon in the background, whereas in statues he is shown as a sitting wolf. In literature he is usually referred to as the "Bringer of the silver sun".
In the pantheons he is usually left alone by other Deity's or he forcefully sends them away if he deems them as not worthy enough to talk to him.
Those who worship this Deity usually do not talk about him as, most would not understand what his clerics and followers are talking about as he has been forgotten by most. Clerics tend to have a strong desire to gain as much knowledge as possible and to help others who seek help in their life. Places of worships a large temples that stretch far underground, with only the outer temple structures and entrance being above ground. All religious practices have to be done on clear night, as the temple and the structures surrounding them only appear when moonlight shines upon them. At other times the temple takes on the appearance of the cliff side the temple is carved into. The main practice usually consists of saying prayers while kneeling in a chamber with cherry blossom scented incense sticks lit. Then it moves onto to sitting in a circle and eating raw Deer, Elk or other meats. His most famous artifacts are the Crescent Harp and the Lunar lens. The Crescent harp when played will shroud the player in a silver light and restore vitality to only the most trusted allies of the player.The lens will show the true form of a creature caught in the light that passes through the lens.
