Sariel

Sariel is one of the oldest gods to have a devout following on Yakon. The Horned Lady ensures the protection of the wilds and the animals that call those untouched locales their home. Those who find themselves disrupting these wildlands are quick to earn themselves the ire of Sariel, who is not known to show mercy towards intruders of the untamed lands. Such grievances have led to many confrontations between herself and Rorgit, who wishes for his followers to manufacture and expand on any and all available landscapes.
Many hunters pray for permission to hunt in the wilds, performing various rites and ensuring every piece of the hunted animal is used so as to properly thank it for its sacrifice. Such presentations entertain the surprisingly whimsical Sariel, and would lead to her obtaining a steady stream of worshipers from those who would make their living in the wild.
This foundation has led to many rural villages all over Yakon honoring Sariel as their patron deity, as they learn to live in harmony with the wilds surrounding them. Another ritual that has become more common over the years is the farmers of these villages asking druids of Sariel to bless their fields, crop, and harvest. Doing so helps to minimize the chances for blighted farms, animal infestations, or other maladies that could threaten the agriculture of Yakon's denizens.
