Remnis

Remnis is the god of giant eagles, a watchful guardian of his patron race who provides them with his guidance and protection. With his sight stretching as far as the horizon, the Great Lord of Eagles awaits the call to action by other gods of the skies, ready to come when needed and render his aid to like-minded deities.

Description

Remnis appeared as a 20 feet (6.1 meters) tall eagle with a 55 feet (17 meters) wingspan. His golden form had glowing green eyes.

Personality

Remnis is a brave and loyal god who acts dutifully in the best interest of his people. He is an adept spy and hunter, an intelligent and wise being whose endless flights and great vigilance allow him to discover many secrets.

Divine Realm

Remnis's realm is not located in Arborea, where he comes to perch, but in the plane he uses as his hunting grounds: The Beastlands. Specifically his realm, called Goldenroost, is in Krigala, the 1st layer, but planar devotees of his (not petitioners, but followers that live on other planes) exist on the other layers.

Activities

Remnis soars throughout the non-evil planes of neutrality (Nirvana, Limbo, The Outlands, and Elysium) as well as the Elemental Plane of Air. In the Beastlands, he flies across the savannahs of all its layers with his hunting parties in tow. Following in his wake are a screeching swarm of giant eagles, rocs, hawks, falcons, fishers, kestrels, and other hunting birds that even a ranger would have difficulty naming. A handful of his only \"normal\" petitioners — avariels — are also usually with him during these hunts. Rarely does Remnis send an avatar on his own, usually doing so to hunt some magnificent beast or evil, marauding monster.

Remnis jealously watches over giant eagle communities and sometimes appears to thwart those that would threaten them. Sometimes he just appears to the eagles, acting as an omen to danger, while at others he drives away those that would attack them or steal their eggs. On rare occasions, an avatar appears to take a last flight with a wise elder among the giant eagles approaching death, and advise them on which younger members should become the new community leader after their passing.

Worshippers

Although giant eagles were his primary worshipers, other beings paid at least token homage to the Great lord of Eagles. The djinni of Zakhara gave lip service to many gods, including Remnis, in hopes of pleasing the right ones for their all possible endeavors, and he had a mosque at the djinn capital, the Citadel of Ice and Steel. The aarakocra of the North did not worship him, favoring their own goddess or Akadi, but they still respected him. Most avariels worshiped Aerdrie, but there were a few who were less chaos inclined and in tune with the natural world that preferred the more primal nature of Remnis.

Relationships

Remnis (and/or his avatars) willingly served as a mount for many non-evil gods of the sky within human and demihuman pantheons, and for the Seldarine as a whole. He awaited the call to service and provided tireless service and loyal assistance in combat, and revealed the secrets he gathered on his flights to those he served. In return for this service, the gods he aided allowed his offspring to have safe and isolated living spaces.

Remnis was on excellent terms with Aerdrie Faenya, sky goddess of the elves, and Syranita, the aarakocra goddess, and was an ally of the elemental air goddess Akadi. When not hunting the skies of the Beastlands, he was visiting the storm giant deity Stronmaus, a friend with whom he frequently flew. The Great Lord of Eagles did not have any particular foes.
