---

The god of passion, Cyros is stirred by strong, expressive emotions, especially those that surface in the heat of contest or a hunt. His forums appear throughout the world where the Lyrean gods are followed, though primarily near places such as sporting stadiums, warcamps, and debate floors. He also has a famous holiday that takes place yearly in southern Orenmagne called The Blasting.
Many are drawn to worship the Archhunter in anticipation of a daring endeavor they are about to partake in, though soldiers, hunters, and smiths regularly will maintain shrines to him. Stormreapers will often seek the blessing of Cyros before venturing into the storms.

Manifestations:

Rumor has it that major manifestations of Cyros favor many forms, though these are often covered in a similar extravagant armor with red burning gauntlets of flame. His ethers are often found in arenas, smithies, near hunting lodges, or following armies.

Commandments:

• Never half-ass things. Always whole-ass them. Some things are worth dying for.
• Passion is always worthwhile regardless of what. When you cry, cry loudly. When you're angry, let out your true feelings. When you're excited, shout and holler.
• Strength should be pursued, though this need not be physical strength. Force of personality and charisma is strength in its own right, as is dextrous skill with a bow.
• Always strive for the best equipment, not the cheapest. Often you trust your life in your tools. Make sure they cannot fail you.
• In war, there is no such thing as a fair fight but in sport, an unfair fight belies the spirit of the occasion.
