LIONKING

Exarch of Silvanus

DnD Beyond Forgotten Realms

Nobanion - The Lion King - King of Beats - Lord Firemane All were names for this exarch of SILVANUS. He was a primal spirit, sometimes worshiped as a deity of royalty, lions, and other felines, as well as good beasts. Nobanion was considered to have originally been an interloper deity, but since his arrival he has firmly established himself within the pantheon. His worship was especially strong within the Eastern Civ.
Description: Lord Firemane led his faithful along a noble path, without force or coercion, and never took the rear in command. He genuinely wanted his pride to willingly choose benevolent and good actions over the alternatives by their own accord. He was a deity of virtue, and would never ask another to take an action that he himself would not, including the sacrifice of their own life.
Appearance: Radiating a powerful, yet gentle presence, Nobanion possessed a majesty and charisma that was overwhelming at times. Even the smallest of animals felt comfortable around him.
History: During the @SPELLPLAGUE, Nobanion tried to save a pride of lions from oncoming blue fire. He came in contact with the blue fire, and it mutated him into a dark and bestial lion with a mane of blue flame. In this state, he was held in subjugation by MALAR. He was tasked by MALAR to capture STEDDWHITEHORN, the boy Chosen of LATHANDER, but the boy and his companions healed him of his corruption by blue fire. He returned to his natural state, and introduced himself. In his reinstated form, he was no longer under MALAR's control. He guided the young Chosen through the wilds where they parted ways.
