Phodr was a god of the land, freedom, and protection. Fiercely loyal to his people, he saw the value in every soul and treated each individual with respect. He valued community, tradition, nature, and martial prowess. He looked like a man with brown hair, wearing the furs of a hunter, but with skin like stone.

In 1 B.C., Phodr was assassinated by Ulem.

Tenets of Faith

Phodr had few specific tenets, preferring a general instruction to his followers to do the right thing. He specifically focused on respecting the land and using it wisely, especially for farmers and hunters, protecting one's people, and pursuing freedom for all. He taught that loggers should replant what they cut down, farmers should practice crop rotation instead of slash-and-burn agriculture, and hunters should kill only for food and resources, never for sport. He vehemently opposed slavery, and encouraged his followers to learn to fight, but to use those skills only for defense of themselves or others.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Phodr desired little more than to protect his people. He claimed no right to control people that had not accepted him, but did pursue the end of slavery worldwide.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Phodr formed from the energy of the land and the spirit of the people on it. At first, he used his divine power to protect people without revealing himself, but he eventually introduced himself to the people. They adored him for his benevolence, and when their nation reformed, they named it after him. They asked him to rule, but he refused, believing that the people should always rule themselves.

Reign

Phodr did not rule his nation, and prefered to wander around and help people than to stay in one place. Wherever he found himself, though, he was happy to act as an advisor.
