The Hunter
The Hunter is a multifaced deity - they literally have four different forms, each representing a season. It is said that when the sun sets on new years eve, the hunter succumbs to old age and dies - only to be reborn on the dawn of the 1st Celethar. These phases each have their own name, but are collectively known as the Hunter. The Hunter is a deity of change and seasons, as well as the eternal hunt. They travel from world to world as the seasons change, looking for new prey.
The Hunter does not hunt simply for the thrill, but for the knowledge of how to hunt - how to protect and how to provide for others. As such they are revered by hunters and gatherers, people who hunt for food - not nobles who hunt for pleasure. Their priests will also pray for seasons change, may it be an early spring or summer.
At their core, the Hunter represents both change and permanence. They may change form as the earth changes it's face with the seasons, but they are still the Hunter - and the tree is still there. Even if the tree is felled by a woodsman it is turned into a house, and if the house burns it will become nourishment for future trees. Everything is always in change, yet also the same.
