Herne
Herne the Hunter,
also called the Horned God (Venator Cervus)
Demi-God of the Hunt, Swamps and Forests
Lawful Neutral (Good)
Symbol: An antlered human face or stag head
Herne is one of the Anganach or Ancient Ones. The worship of St. Ygg has replaced Herne in recent years, but there are those who still pray and offer sacrifices to him. Herne is the god of the northern woodlands, swamps, and the creatures that inhabit them. He prefers to take the form of a deer, or a man with an antlered deer’s head. Herne
chooses a favoured son, a druid, barbarian, ranger, or warrior, to serve him as the Guardian of the Forest. Some
believe Herne is the son of Silvanus. The people of the region often use the phrase “Herne protect us” or “Herne
protect you” as a toast or when parting company.
