Horned Man

The Great Shaman, the Horned God

  • Elf Pantheon
  • Hsunchen pantheon
  • Doraddi pantheon
  • Praxian pantheon
  • Troll Pantheon

The Horned Man is the Father of Shamans. During the Great Darkness he sang great runes using his wit, skill, and deadliness, to trick Chaos into letting him go. He sometimes visits young children in their sleep, and if they do not cry out then they are destined for a shaman’s career. The mightiest shamans can draw on his power to create magical Soul Winds which can devastate whole armies.
