Camir (Ca-mere)
Overview
Creator of the Beastfolk races and god of wild nature, Camir is the leader of the Green Gods (also including Chauntea and Malar) and is often considered to be an avatar of the planet himself. He is stubborn, pushing his followers to oppose the growth of civilization and to live with the least amount of impact on nature as possible. He is the father of Chauntea and Malar and spreads his influence by granting portions of his essence among the Loa.Portfolio and Responsibilities
He is a god whose portfolio includes wild nature, druids, beastfolk, tribalism, and were-creatures. The church of Camir is spread everywhere across Aralla and is far stronger than many other churches, despite most people in the industrial world never witnessing their rituals or faith. Nevertheless, most outsiders view the church of Chauntea, as patrons of agriculture, as being favorably inclined towards the expansion of civilization, while the church of Camir is the implacable foe of those who would settle new lands. Non-worshipers often viewed the church unfavorably due to its tendency to disrupt expansion into woodland, sometimes with violence.Divine Domains

Example Paladin Codes
Sworn under the gaze of Camir, Lord of Wild Nature, Creator of the Beastfolk, and the very heartbeat of Aralla, I dedicate my essence, my strength, and my spirit to uphold the following tenets:- I vow to protect the sanctity of nature, its vast wilderness, and all its inhabitants. As the beastfolk are a creation of Camir, they are my kin, and their safety is my charge.
- Civilization's unchecked expansion is a plague upon the land. I will resist its encroachment, valuing the purity of wild nature above the conveniences of industry.
- While I stand against untamed expansion, I respect the balance of nature, understanding that both growth and decay are a part of Camir's design.
- I shun the trappings of modern society, striving to live in harmony with the wilds, understanding that in simplicity, there is profound strength.
- Recognizing the Loa as fragments of Camir's essence, I pledge to honor, respect, and safeguard them, understanding their critical role in maintaining the harmony of Aralla.
- Chauntea's teachings on growth and agriculture and Malar's lessons on the primal hunt guide my path. Their wisdom, combined with Camir's essence, forms the trinity of my faith.
- Every breath I take, every step I make, will be in harmony with nature. My life is a testament to Camir's ideals, and through my actions, I seek to inspire others to respect the wild.
