Beastlord
Many believe the Beastlord was once much more prominent across Terusha, based on the numerous animal-races.
The Beastlord is rarely depicted the same way twice, he is often a mishmash of animal traits and only rarely in anything vaguely humanoid.
The Beastlord is simultaneously barbaric and harmonious deity. There is a savageness to the world of beasts, however, there is an honesty to it and little hatred or joy in surviving the world. Few can agree on whether the Beastlord is a single or multitude of entities. While the Tabaxi worship The Great Cat, the aaracockra worship the Spirit in the Sky and the tortles worship the World Tortoise. Though these religions have vastly different aesthetics, the core beliefs are similar. It is largely believed that these are the same deity.
The tabaxi, for example, accept that the Beastlord is also the World Tortoise, by others, though he's obviously the Great Cat.

Tenets of Faith
The Beastlord teaches that spirits reside in all things, particularly in animals. The spirits are to be appeased, and the Beastlord oversees these spirits. In a very practical sense, there are four fundamental attributes:
Tradition and the family: Understanding that family is the foundation for preserving traditions.
Love of nature: Holding nature sacred.
Ritual purity: Ritual bathing to cleanse oneself spiritually and physically.
Respect: Worshipping and honoring the Beastlord and ancestral spirits, which includes using all parts of a hunted creature.
