Vitiris Elkhorn
Vitiris Elkhorn is the youngest god of the Alamarri pantheon. He presides over the wild and is known for his trickery. He is sometimes referred to as the Faun, Caretaker of the Korcari, Horned One, and Master of Tricks.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Vitiris seeks to protect the forest and those who dwell within it. He also acts as a trickster god who wishes to perform acts of chaos, mayhem, and mischief. He rarely leans towards good or evil, but instead finds a middle ground where he makes sure those believers of the pantheon are provided for but are never too well-indulged. Vitiris wishes for his people to regularly play pranks and tease each other, but to always be willing to be good sports about being on the fool's end.

Personal history
"Hakkon fell from the top of Belenas and though he was turned into a winged spirit, he was not yet familiar with how to fly. He landed amongst a great forest; its land filled with trees, lush and tall, and its rivers flowing with grow power. He wandered these forests for a time, but he found that the forests' winding paths seemed to lead him unto trails his feet had already made marks in. Eventually, after so much time passed, Hakkon heard a voice echo out of the forest as if the leaves and trees all spoke in an uproarious symphony. When he looked to where the voice came from, he found a faun. Each of the being's limbs were shackled to different trees and its body was held aloft above the ground. It asked him, in an already knowing manner, if he was lost. Hakkon laughed at the sight of such a pathetic creature, unable to move but its tongue. In each of the faun's words, there carried sass and sarcasm. The faun, knowing of Hakkon's tale, then demanded, 'Lord of Winter and War; you wish to wander this forest no more? Isn't this forest so cruel; you'll get out if you beat me in a duel! Then take directions from my person, and your situation will no longer worsen!' Without a moment of hesitation, Hakkon cocked back his wings and unleashed a barrage of freezing winds. The entirety of the forest around him was leveled. As he went to grab the directions from the faun's body, he heard satirical laughing coming from beneath the rubble. Curious as to what was causing such a sound, Hakkon dug beneath the splintered ground and found the head of the faun. Hakkon reeled back but the faun persisted, 'Thanks for freeing me, but alas I am now an amputee!' Hakkon inquisitively grabbed the head and demanded that he explain how any creature could be alive after such obliteration. The faun admitted he was immortal, formed of a curse from the Twilight Watcher. However, the Twilight Watcher had also hoped for him to be chained to the trees unable to move for eternity. Slowly the faun began piecing himself back together until standing before Hakkon once again, giddily taking a bow before him. Astonished for having been deceived in such a way demanding awe, Hakkon looked upon the forests. He saw what he had wrought and asked if the faun would be the caretaker of such a place. The faun, surprised at such an offer, knew he had cared for each tree for a thousand years each. He knew each being of plant and of critter that had ever existed in the forest. Hakkon asked for the faun's name, and it was Vitiris. Hakkon, wanting to brand this new god with something great, gave him two golden elk horns. In return for his new power, Vitiris called upon the Lady's children of the skies and taught Hakkon how to fly. Vitiris gained renown amongst those folks of the forest and began to revere him, as keeper of the forests and of having mastery of deceit." — A tale often told by shamans, thanes, and other believers in the Old Alamarri faith
