Description
Cernun is a muscular figure with skin like oak bark, textured with woodgrain patterns. His hair is a wild mane containing leaves, branches, and living creatures. His eyes shift between seasonal colors, and massive antlers crown his head, blooming with seasonal plants.
Wild but wise, Cernun embodies nature's power and mystery. His voice rumbles like an ancient forest. He shows passion for preserving wild places and teaching respect for natural laws.
The Nature Siblings
Cernun and his sister Sylvanna represent the two aspects of wilderness. Where Sylvanna embodies the hunter and survival, Cernun embodies the growth and mystery of the untamed forest. Together they maintain the balance of the wild.
His relationship with Nyxaros, the shapeshifter god, represents the deep connection between nature and transformation. Their love bridges the wild forest and the mystery of change.
Divine Purpose
Cernun roams the deepest forests and wildest places, protecting nature's power. He leads the wild hunt and teaches the old ways of forest magic. His presence brings growth and vitality to the wild places of the world.
His temples are sacred groves and ancient forests, where druids and nature priests conduct their rituals. He is particularly revered by those who live close to nature and respect its power and mystery.
