Mithani
Lord of Kings Mithani (a.k.a. Lord of Kings, God of Government, First Amongst Equals)
The Lord of Kings and first among the Gods. He is generally depicted with the head of a stag, the body and wings of a dragon (the most powerful of the mythical animals which once haunted the world). Mithani controls the spheres of Government, Rulers and Kingship.
Mithani was the first of the Gods to land in the Great Realm. It is said that he came from far away, and brought with him the first animals, though this is in fact not true (animals were created as part of the great competition of the gods). In the Golden Age, he ruled with a just and firm hand. He often walked amongst his children and always chose the ruler of the land. In this time, there was always a ruler who could be struck down if he governed badly.
Mithani often appears as a regal and reasonable presence. He is the centre piece of a founding tale, in which a noble hero climbed the very clouds for an audience with him, all in order to save the life of his beloved. (As with most myths, sometimes Floree has been substituted in the place of Mithani, as she is often associated with romance).

Physical Description
Body Features
Mithani, like all the gods, appears very unusual to the normal animal. His head is that of a proud and noble stag with golden eyes. His antlers are huge and made of silver, which shine regardless of whether it is light or dark. His body is that of a dragon with silver scales, which reflect as gold in the light. The dragon is huge and strong, with a huge wingspan that allows him to easily take flight.
Special abilities
As a God, if Mithani were to enter the earth he would be capable of doing most anything within his sphere of influence. This might include controlling the very land itself, directing kings in their reigns or dictating illustrious success in stewardship. Beyond this, his physical strength is far beyond any animal and he is totally impervious to mortal weapons.
