Fenririst

Worshipping Clans

This religion worships Fenrir, the Wolf/Hunting God. He is known to take the form of a silver wolf and lead lost travelers out of the forest. When not in this form, he resembles a muscular Forest Clansmen about the size of a Metalsmith.
As Hunting God, he also has jurisdiction over guns and bows, weapons used to shoot animals. That is one of the reasons his two worshiping Clans tend to wield distance weaponry, even when they are not hunters themselves. Fenrir carries a large golden bow and a quiver of golden arrows that he uses in both battle and to hunt beasts in the Divine Realm.


History

After creating the Forest Clan at the beginning of time, Fenrir took to the jungles to protect the hunters from every clan. Unless someone was lost or hurt, he tended to keep back from both mortals and his fellow deities.
During the Ice Age, he began taking a more proactive role of his worshipers. With the world in turmoil, it took the work of all the dieties. This was also the start of mass worship by the Kitsune and Forest Clans after Fenrir was assigned to watch over his creations and the other clan most similar to them. After all, there were no longer any forests for people to get lost in, and he had more free time.
When Zeal fell and the ice started to melt, Fenrir returned to his forests. But he had gained allies and worshipers during that time so he was also called upon by them; forcing him to leave the woods more than he'd like.

Worship

Fenrirists don't have an exact church to worship in. Instead, they build their villages in close proximity to forests and hold their ceremonies there. They go into the woods with the town's spiritual leader, who will shoot a wild animal with a bow or gun and bring it to the alter within. There, the newly killed beast is sacrificed in a fire and consecrated for Fenrir. Afterwards, a second beast of the same type is killed for the worshipers to partake in.
In early fall, the followers of Fenrir will hold a week long festival deep within the closest forest. There, they will offer sacrifices of five animals, one for every weekday of the festival, and toast to their deity with fermented tree sap. Traditional music of Fenrir is played on a flute with drum accompaniment, and there are people who will sing along.
