Oshozi
The god of the hunt, agriculture, the forest, and wild nature. In humanoid depictions, such as within the Temple of Oshozi in Oshiv'Ran, he typically has dark skin with white lines covering his body and the head of a white stag. He is generally adorned with leather or fur bracers, archery gloves, and a quiver of arrows. Alternatively, he is depicted as a white stag with markings that match the humanoid depiction and glow on the fur of the stag. Oshozi is believed to never speak and so, out of respect for him, his people - primarily the shifters - have spoken sign language for over a millenium.

Tenets of Faith
Respect for the Hunt - Hunting honors Oshozi. Hunting for sport dishonors Oshozi. All parts of the animal should be put to use and if a use cannot be found, it should be offered to Oshozi.
Respect for Nature - the forest is the domain of Oshozi. A true follower of Oshozi will never pursue an action that would harm the balance between nature and civilization.
