Tetsuo
Tetsuo is a God with a reputation among humanoids for being by far the most accepting and peaceful God there is, and the religion behind him will accept basically anyone, as long as they are willing to change their ways towards "The good of the world", as his priests call it.
Tetsuo's followers are asked to do only a few simple things, however his religion is one that fosters those who are extremely devoted, and thus there are many very strict orders of the religion out there, who dedicate their lives to codes in order to please him. The most basic of rules in his faith are as follows: "Be one with yourself and nature, those who live in harmony with the world around them may find happiness. Forgive yourself and others around you, Most have done wrong in their lives, but those who wish to travel the path of the good of the world shall be forgiven. Do not fear for yourself, or others, life has it's ways and we must learn to embrace them."
The more strict orders take these tenants to the extreme, and move towards the other aspect of his divine domain, that of preserving nature. One of the most infamous sects of Tetsuo is those of Senpou valley, an order of monks who live so in tune with nature that they refuse to do anything that they deem unnatural. Thus they wear no clothes, have no buildings, never cut their hair or nails and spend most of their days meditating in the luscious hotsprings of the valley, accepting the world for what it is and praying to their God.
As a God, Tetsuo is a passive being, only taking action in the affairs of others when the need is urgent. There exist few tales of him from the Age of Legends, save for a famous one where cultists of an evil spirit began to burn forests as offerings. Tetsuo asked Jiago to make it pour rain for one year and one day while he dealt with the spirit and converted the cultists too good. The descendants of these reformed cultists are nor an isolated monastic order, deep within the woods, or so the story goes.
