Pathiel - The Guardian
Domain:  The Lost Forest

    Pathiel is one of the few God's that seems to play a major rule in the lives of the moral races.  It is believed that The Guardian is the ascended Wicken shaman Nether who was killed in battle and has yet to be reincarnated as a Wicken youth.  Pathiel has ascended and left behind all sense of gender, past memories, sense of person, and nearly all of his physical form.  It is commonly known that more then twenty great spirits rule under Pathiel and strive to keep peace between the mortal realm, the animal kingdom, and the fury of the most powerful elemental warrens.  He is responsible for the creation of the Elentas that are recognized around quake by their partial elemental nature.  Few if anyone in the mortal realm knows why Pathiel has allowed the creation of the Elentas but it is widely believed that they are a product of a treaty between Pathiel and the fabric of the elemental warrens themselves.  Pathiel has been seen wandering the open spaces of Quake as a mighty horse, a great hunting hound, or as a giant raven.  He is attributed with the bringing of crops in season, balance, the nomadic life, and communal living.
    The vast majority of Pahtiel's worshipers are the Wicken tribes of the great plains.  These nomadic (some would say barbaric) groups move from place to place in the great plain along Quake's south western border.  They are a unified force that few Quake armies would pick a fight with although they are split up into several tribes.  The Dog clan, Crow clan, and Crab clan are the most known clans although more then fifteen different clans exist.  Inside each clan also exists the cult of the boar.  These Wicken's do not worship or pay tribute to Pahiel but to one of his great spirits named Ostiel.  Ostiel is a renegade spirit that seeks ascension himself.  Although the boar cult is not honorable it is tolerated inside each other Wicken tribe. 
    Pathiel brings power to most all primal powered characters.  If they do not draw power from his warren directly then they most likely draw their power from one of the warrens that one of his great spirits protect.
