Shrine to Lycanos: A Sylvan Sanctuary in the Heart of Glenmara's Woodlands
In the southern territories of the
Kingdom of Glenmara, where the woodlands breathe with an ancient vitality, stands the Shrine to
Lycanos, Wild god of the Hunt. Crafted by devoted druids, this sacred sanctuary pays homage to the primal essence embodied by Lycanos, who roams the realms in the form of a majestic wolf. Nestled on the border to
Aurumfall Glade, the shrine serves as a testament to the untamed beauty of the wilderness and the symbiotic relationship between nature and those who revere the Wild God.
A Stone Wolf Guardian:
At the heart of the shrine, an imposing stone wolf stands atop the offering altar, its form hewn with reverence and skill. This grandiose depiction of Lycanos captures the raw vitality and wild grace of the elusive deity. The stone wolf is both guardian and guide, an earthly emissary to those who seek communion with the untamed forces of the hunt.
Nature's Cathedral:
Surrounded by ancient trees and bathed in dappled sunlight, the shrine is more than a constructed edifice—it is a sylvan cathedral that harmonizes with the natural rhythms of the woodlands. Intricate vines wind their way around the shrine's pillars, as if nature itself has embraced this sacred space. Moss-covered stones and patches of vibrant wildflowers create an atmosphere of divine resonance.
Patron of Rangers, Barbarians, and Druids:
Lycanos, the Wild God, stands as the patron deity for those who tread the untrodden paths of Glenmara. Rangers, Barbarians, and Druids, drawn to the call of the wilderness, find solace and strength within the sanctuary's embrace. The shrine becomes a communal haven where those who share a kinship with the wild can commune with the essence of the untamed.
Offerings to the Hunt:
The offering altar, adorned with leaves, feathers, and symbols of the hunt, serves as a sacred space for devotees to leave their tributes to Lycanos. Fresh herbs, animal pelts, and artifacts crafted from materials found in the woodlands form a tangible connection between the mortal realm and the realm of the Wild God.
Moonlit Vigils:
As night falls, the shrine takes on a mystical aura. Moonlight filters through the leaves, casting ethereal shadows that dance upon the stone surfaces. The howl of a distant wolf, perhaps an earthly manifestation of Lycanos, adds an otherworldly chorus to the nightly vigils held by those who seek the Wild God's favor.
