Malar

"In the wilds, balance is bloodshed" - Cicero, of the Metamorphised

Malar, The Beastlord, is the god of the hunt, lycanthropy, savage beasts, and bloodlust. His dogma concerned savage hunts, the spreading of the lycanthropic curse, and general contempt for civilization. At least, that is the view of those who condemn him. 

Smear Campaign

According to followers of Malar, the Beastlord is not the heartless savage he appears to be. Malar was created by the universe in order to guide and govern the savagery of the wilds. He is a caretaker of those afflicted with his curse, and helps them learn to control and direct their power. 

Watcher

It is unheard of for Malar to ever cure lycanthropy, but there is a tale of Malar aiding a hunter who became afflicted with the curse. Terrified of hurting her loved ones, the hunter begged Malar to take the power away. Malar refused, but offered her a home in his hunting grounds, where she could indulge in her primal instincts to her soul's content.

Realm

Malar makes his home in the Hunting Grounds, one of the four layers of the Deep Wilds, a realm that was once the dominion of the wild god Pan. Since the cataclysm, Pan has made his home in the Feywild. The exact structure of the Deep Wilds post-cataclysm is unknown, as traveling there was deemed far too dangerous, even for reconnaissance. The Hunting Grounds take the form of various harsh and wild environments from the material plane. Wild beasts and followers of Malar find their way to the Hunting Grounds when they pass, and spend eternity following their master on the glorious hunt.
