The God of Bulls Falls

Life, Death

The God of Bulls, Gugulana, made a final stand during a local war between the gods, defending their temple. Their enemies had rallied against the bull out of fear that their forces were too great to take on alone, and so for a time, put aside their differences to take out a common enemy. Surrounded on all sides and knowing it would be a losing battle, the God of Bulls sacrificed themself as a distraction to allow their followers and priests to escape before their temple was sieged.   Tales of the battle say that the Bull refused to back down, even against numerous enemies, even when gored, speared, and torn asunder by hounds and beasts of war, remaining standing still as stone, determined to give every second to their people. Even when long dead, the bull's corpse stayed standing.
