The Wild Hunt of Shokothre

Not to be confused with the identically named Wild Hunt of Cernunon the Wild Hunt of Shokothre is a far more worldwide, yet rarer phenomenon. This Wild Hunt is a act of divine intervention on behalf of the God Shokothre. This terrifying act of god is said to turn the sky red and the two moons seem to be bathed in blood. During these Wild Hunt's it is said all the faithful of Shokothre are transformed into powerful lycanthropes, losing their minds entirely but gaining the ability to cleanse the area of all the foes of Shokothre. It is a dire thing to call upon the wild hunt, as it wipes out entire order's of clerics and their clergy, but can be a turning point in a conflict threatening a temple of Shokothre, or the region in which it lies. Despite the power of the Wild Hunt it's range is limited, and typically only a single temple's worth of priests and clergy are transformed, not all of those in the world.   In written memory many wild hunts have been called, some to during times of great war such as during The Arrival, while others have been called by more dark priests of Shokothre in an attempt to wipe a city or larger swathe of civilization away. The stigma this wild hunt carries, taking clerics who may have families, and turning them into rapid but powerful beasts, makes many cities ban temples to Shokothre or Shakar from being constructed within the walls of the city, relegating them to the wilderness typically forming their clergy into either temples or moon circles.
